2019 Roland Garros

Very disappointing tournament for the giraffes when you consider what they had 4 chaps in Wimbledon last 8 last year. Clay simply does not suit giraffes.

What is the criteria for being called a giraffe?

Giraffe or not?

Presumably it’s a height cut off point that determines whether or not a player is a giraffe?

One dimensional lanky big servers who only prosper on the grass/hard court season where they can bludgeons tonnes of aces.

6ft 6 inch giraffe Karen Khachanov advances to his first Grand Slam Quarter Final.

Hard to think Del Potro would be considered a giraffe?

Del Portro is 6ft 6. Does not automatically make him a giraffe?

Oh i don’t know, 6ft 6 with a good serve would make him eligible to be a giraffe. Zevrev is 6ft 6 also, this would make him a giraffe.

I would rate Federer the best server in tennis over the past 20 years. Does that make him a giraffe? Maybe, a baby giraffe as he’s only 6ft 1.

Djokovic is a good server he is 6ft 2. Guess that makes him a giraffe. Nadal and Thiem are also 6ft 1. Are they all giraffes?

What a cracking quarter final today between Federer and Wawrinka. 2 former winners and they put it onto the suzanne lenglen court. Definite favouritism by organisers.

anyone there today?

Move the 11 time champion (no 2 seed and reigning champion) and no 7 seed off the main court for the no 3 seed and no 24 seed?

Great servers - set play tennis.

Looks packed to the rafters there

Stadiums all over the world are full when the GOAT is playing. He’s on court against compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka at the moment.

He’s talking about the Thiem Monfils game you halfwit.
