I'm referring to my recent entry about the tennis and in particular Britain's Andy Murray. Did I jinx him or what? He has a stonker of a game and beats the number 3 seed and then the very next round, he gets beaten really badly in straight sets by a guy from Cyprus called Marcos Baghdatis who is seeded 18. Ok ok, Murray isn't actually seeded and maybe we expect too much too soon, but how can you play so well one day and then play so awful the next? Maybe it's the lack of British stamina.
Oh well, No Briton to cheer on for the last week. Still, the Americans have done just as badly - I don't think they have any representation left in either the mens or womens competition, AND they have a far bigger country than we do!
I remember the day I used to book a week or two off work purely to watch Wimbledon. Sad I know but each to their own and all that. One year I might actually get to go there like I've be saying for the past 117 years!
