It's like the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.

One is one of the greatest thing in the history of mankind, the other is overrated and French

Also, Fabio's are devastating to the French

Champagne over Prosecco every time

Question is, will it be served
grissins

or
baguettes?

 

[jaggy]

Seems wrong that both Seppi and Pouille are wearing blue shirts and white shorts.

It is Italian to wear blue in competition.
But I guess thats a French thing too

 

[jaggy]

Italy are at home so they should get to wear it. France could wear pink

 

[jaggy]

Nice 5th set from team France.

 

[Felix le chat]

Now heading to 2nd singles : Fognini vs "100th ATP all his life" Chardy.

Should be entertaining...

 

[jaggy]

With Foggy anything is possible.

 

[Mainad]

Seems wrong that both Seppi and Pouille are wearing blue shirts and white shorts.

Couldn't one of them have worn a white shirt with blue shorts?

 

[Purplemonster]

Italy are at home so they should get to wear it. France could wear pink

To match their girly sounding language.

 

[jaggy]

Wee wee

 

[Meles]

Frenchies cruise in doubles and take team to 2-1, now we really have a match in singles with Pouille vs Fognini.

 

[jaggy]

It's hard to see Italy winning both tomorrow.

 

[tennisaddict]

I can see Italy winning both tomorrow if Fog can start GOAT’ing

 

[The Green Mile]

Allez Allez Allez

 

[stringertom]

Allez Allez Allez

Are they watching the Macron vs Trump handshake???

 

[stringertom]

Fabiyoyo...6-2 1-6 and now 3-0 in the third with one break.

 

[Pagoo]

Well, they are back on serve. Fabio is too inconsistent. I am not sure this will go to a decider.

 

[heninfan99]

Fabio holds with ease

 

[heninfan99]

Bravo Fabio! Gets the break

 

[heninfan99]

ze blues break back

 

[Pagoo]

Fognini and his hopeless serve.

 

[heninfan99]

incredible bh dtl from The Fog

 

[heninfan99]

Pwee refuses to go down

 

[heninfan99]

The Frenchman holds. 5 all

 

[Meles]

The Frenchman holds. 5 all

Fogninny 0-30

 

[helixx]

fabio df, ue, ue, in tb so far

 

[Meles]

I'd think Pouille likes this matchup as he's a great highball hitter and handles Thiem and Nadal rather well.

 

[Meles]

Nice FH winner to take TB 7-3. Pouille now leads 2 sets to 1. Going over to check out last Spain vs Germany match.

 

[heninfan99]

Pwee keeps calling his own lines. It's getting annoying

 

[Meles]

Pwee keeps calling his own lines. It's getting annoying

Pweeeeeeeeeee breaks! 2-0

 

[helixx]

what a pass!!! Grande

 

[Meles]

what a pass!!! Grande

That was a titanic goatnini break. Pouille even snuffed out the first two ops with huge Aces.

 

[Meles]

Pouille breaks back with Fognini predictably erring on some deep hard shots. Pouille serving for match.

 

[Meles]

Pwee calls out for 30-15

 

[Meles]

Two great winners and Chardy is off the hook. Frenchies clinch.

 

[Meles]

Trademark tongue on the loose
