What are your plans if you sell Thauvin & Payet?

If true - Marseille would be crushed, he seems like their backbone and their best player. No doubt he has a very punchable face, but he's the best talent on that team.

First preseason match is in less than 2 weeks, as Lyon host Servette FC. The rest of the preseason schedule is as follows: JULY 13/07 - Servette FC (Home) 20/07 - Genoa (Home) 28/07 - Arsenal (Away; Emirates Cup) 31/07 - Liverpool (Home) AUGUST 03/08 - Bournemouth (Away)

Yikes - that's really bad.

How is it up to Pirelli to make racing 'more exciting'?

From what I've heard, this is the worst attended Women's World Cup since the early 90's. Outside of France and US, there have been no sell outs. Outside of France, US, Germany, and England, there have been no fans. My father-in-law is in France for this month following the U.S., and he says outside of the fan support for us, you'd hardly recognize a major sporting event was taking place.

Maybe that's how they really found out about Valladolid.

And another one!

Yeah - they are completely different styles. Fed is amazing because he glids on the court. Rafa amazes me because he looks more athletic and really gives all of him to each match.

Yeah - I play 3-4 times a week. We have a neighborhood league (Doubles), and I play in a city league with my Father-in-Law (Doubles), and then in a city Singles League. Usually try to get a practice in at least once a week. Playing on clay is soooooo different. We have 2 clay courts in my neighborhood (and 18 Composite surfaces), and I enjoy playing on clay, but it definitely is MUCH harder unless it suits your game. I'd do just about anything possible to be able to pay Nadal in a set on clay. No way I'd win a point, but I would just love to see him across the court.

Haha - I love the FO. Do you play Tennis? Have you played on clay before?

I didn't hear that commentary. Thiem is a class act. Like I was telling @RandoEFC - I hope he wins a Major while the big 3 are still playing, but just not the French Open against Nadal. I also wouldn't want him beating Fed at Wimbledon. Rafa up 3-0 now.

Rafa breaks Thiem to go up 2-0 in the 3rd set. It's likely over, now.

25 minute set. God I love Rafa.

Thiem might coast the rest of this set and try to save some energy for the next set.

He's played 4 days in a row, finally won a set over Nadal. The thing about Fed and Rafa are, when they lose a set in a Final, they still have another gear.

Rafa about to go up a double break anyways.

I'm a Rafa guy so the more the merrier. I have never like Djokovic so it was him, I'd be going for Thiem, but we are watching the best ever on Clay, and I'd love to see him extend his lead.

Yeah - I guess it's great for the crowd, but I really hope Rafa wins this.

Nadal! Such a blessing Nadal is.

I love Nadal so would love to see another FO win for him.

From an article I was reading - So it looks like none of the major clay courts use it because the cost doesn't justify the fact that you can see the exact spot of the ball on clay. I'd like to see it, personally.

I have heard that they aren't able to get it to work on the clay courts. Not sure how true this is, but I've heard this from numerous people.

Unlucky for Thiem there with the rain delay.

In an hour.
