I’m feeling a lot better now, thank you. My cold finally cleared up yesterday, just in time for the weekend. I’m still a bit run-down though, so we had a nice, gentle quiet day at home today. Had a big lunch, watched some tennis, ordered some food in for tea, watched some more tennis and maybe, just maybe got carried away with the red wine. I can’t believe they’re still playing at Wimbledon when it’s gone ten p.m. That’s the beauty of a roof with floodlights. Shits all over the fact that it’s supposed to be played outside, but means they can go on playing after dark. You’d think they’d have sent everyone home and postponed the womens doubles til tomorrow, but no. It’s all about ‘tradition’ and tradition dictates that the womens doubles are completed on the Saturday, come what may. So poor Vesnina and Makharova (I think that’s their names) and the other two that they are currently destroying 6-0 4-0 have had to sit around all evening while the mens doubles final took five hours to complete and now they’ve got to keep playing to a finish.
None of that was what I had planned to write about when I sat down but I got a little carried away and now I’ve forgotten what the Hell this blog was supposed to entail.
It’s 6-0 5-0 now. Blimey. I wonder if there’s ever been a final that ended 6-0 6-0 before? Be a real shitter if you battled your way to the Final, only to get gubbed senseless on what should have been your brightest day in the Wimbledon sunshine.
Anyway, my glass is empty now…..
