Day 4/5

Crazy couple of days. No time to myself let alone to dedicate to my beautiful blog. So many sporting things have happened in the last couple of days I hardly know where to start. I have to mention the cricket though because those boys have done us proud in recent weeks. Twenty20 title a couple of weeks ago, and now an awesome first day of their two-match series against Bangladesh, thanks largely to one Jonathan Trotty.

Do you know what I wish? I wish there was more cricket on TV that didn't involve owning (and paying for) Sky Sports. Just a little cricket - an hour highlights program a day whilst a test is going on. Then I could actually watch it and get the feel for it and not have to rely solely on words on a screen (although perhaps I shouldn't be bad-mouthing words on a screen...)

The French Open is moving soggily along. A lot of rain in the last two days but still plenty of play to be seen. Big casualties of the last couple of days: Ivanovic (lost to Kleybanova in straight sets - quite depressing really); Benneteau (those Frenchies will not be happy about that one); Monfils (!!!!!!! I am very upset about that one! I adore Monfils. Boo :-() who lost in an epic five-setter against Fognini. Who'd have thunk it?

Big winners of the last couple of days: Kuz (really should not have won and even though I watched the match I still can't believe she did); Fed (beautiful as ever); Sod (absolutely crushed Taylor Dent - my money's on Sod this year... until he gets to Fed that is); Murray (MUCH better performance against Chela than Gasquet. All big penetrating backhands and gorgeous drop shots measured to perfection. The vollying was looking pretty special as well. Murray is coming back, I can feel it).

It's getting juicy. I'm getting excited.

I'll keep you blogged...
