3-3, Chela breaks back!

Ah, they're indicating to the umpire that they're having difficulty seeing, so this might be the last game - finish it off tomorrow!

Andy appears to be asking what the time is and they're having a discussion at the net. Lol the crowd want more and are shouting out things like "You can still see!" But the umpire has just told Andy they will stop.

Scoreline till tomorrow's resumption of play: 6-2 3-3 in Andy's favour.

Resumption tomorrow, 2nd match after a ladies but not before 12.30 local, 11.30 in UK.

Chela really stepped it up in the second set after a one sided first. Could be interesting tomorrow if Chela can maintain that standard, big if though.

While we're waiting, the extended version of the Muzza karaoke is now available - is this what Maniel Bains sounds like when he plays? wink

Ah, you beat me to it, steven! This was such excellent entertainment when they did it in 2007 (though Andy never took part then... too low ranked to attract an invite I guess), that I was really hoping they'd reinstate it - however I concluded it must have been a one off thing when they didn't repeat it in 2008 and 2009. Now it's back again and it looks like the exact same set up! The mock lost-and-found and laundry room that magically transforms into a karaoke booth... the two tournament laundry employees becoming backing singers... biggrin Awesome.

EDIT: Having watched Andy's efforts now, that video is well worth saving to my computer. hmm biggrin Oh Andy... Amazing tennis player; tonally challenged singer. If I recall, Andy's graced us with singing efforts before, has he not?

I get the feeling the Tsonga/Murray/Sod trip might just be a one-off reprise of the format this year rather than being something that will run through the whole tournament again.

Sod? Tsonga?

I think I already mentioned the previous versions of the Roland Garros Karaoke segment. And yes, the Christmas song which we've all seen before was the other "Andy's graced us with his singing talents before has he not?". I think he tackles this karaoke with more gusto... but his performance this time round is more tone-deaf than the Twelve Days of Christmas effort (he does "Five gold rings" rather commendably).

LadyTigress · County player

Ah, Andy and Chela are on court and warming up. Here we go. I'm confidently predicting a continuation of Andy being ahead in this match, and winning it in 3.

They've also done karaokes this year - the original footage released this year had a Fed intro followed by all three of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-tZVF1ElwM

What? When?! They weren't advertised on the atp homepage like Andy's karaoke was... and yes I clicked on "Watch More Videos" after watching Andy's vid to see if anyone else had done one but there weren't anymore so I guessed that Andy had been the first to give it a go. How comes these two aren't available anywhere else then but Andy's is?

EDIT: Soderling's song - scarred for life doh . Tsonga's song - reasonably good, almost accent free in his pronunciation of the English lyrics smile !
