ITV4 the most shameless channel for advertising

It is pretty annoying!

I quite like Fognini - seems an interesting player.

Did Marion Bartoli get beat?

Fognini holds and it's 5-4 to Nadal.

Once more Nadal comes out to serve for the match.

And 4 points later it's Game,Set and Match to Nadal, 3 sets to Love,

Djokovic is supposed to be next, but unless his opponent totally collapses I can't see the match being finished tonight.

Francesca Schiavone produced an attention-grabbing display of claycourt tennis to advance into the fourth round of the French Open with a 6-2 6-1 annihilation of French 13th seed Marion Bartoli on Saturday.

Oh no

Two games in and it's 2-0 Djokovic.

Dimitrov held for 1-2

Then Djokovic held for 3-1

Djokovic breaks for 4-1

(I'm losing interest in this match already!)

Djokovic took the first set 6-2

And the second 6-2 as well.

6-2 6-2 6-3

Go Novak!

Ferrer made short work of his match this morning, winning in three straight sets. 6-3, 6-1, 6-1

In Sept 2009 US Open Serena tells the linesman:

“I swear to god I’m f***kin going to take this ball and shove it down your f**kin mouth.” Then continues with more profanity-laced threats.

Nice.

Serena is looking unbeatable at the moment.

Serena is looking like Mike Tyson

Serena strolled through her match 6-1 6-3

Tsonga v Troicki

Tsonga looks to be strolling through his match too, as he races to a 2 sets to love lead, 6-3 6-3

Tommy Robredo - the comeback King!

6-7 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-4

And he duly trots off with the third set 6-3 too.

Next up Ferrer

Tsonga's next match will be against Federer or Simon who are next out on Philippe Chatrier.

Have just been watching a documentary on BBC2. I turn back to the tennis in time to see Federer go BEHIND in his match!
