Main feeling today - tiredness; pain
Let me explain.
Joy = today I went to Wimbledon. for me tis much like walking through the castle in Disney World, Florida; the magic is undeniable. I sat on Henman/Murray hill/mount for about ten hours and watched Fed whoop (whup? woop?) Melzer; Serena overcome Sharapova's screams in straight sets; and Ray-ray demolish a mis-firing Querrey - although take nothing off Ray-ray, he was awesome today. Truly.
Sorrow = a sad day indeed. Yes, I went to Wimbledon, yes, the weather was divine, but there was one strong presiding happening: Roddick lost in five intense sets to qualifier Yen-Hsun Lu 4-6 7-6 7-6 6-7 9-7. It doesn't get much closer than that. Roddick paid tribute to his opponent but also highlighted his poor serving (by his standards) and bad returning. I really thought he'd go a long way this year, if not all the way. I was looking forward to some redemption against Fed. Alas, not to be.
Tiredness = only had three hours sleep on account of late night phone call and 5am alarm. Bleurgh.
Pain = so sunburnt it's not even funny. My nose is glowing and I have a sunglasses mark which is definitely not cool. I managed to burn my armpit as well which just blows my mind.
Other results: Clijsters came back from a set down to beat Henin (yes! Love Clijsters!!); GoNads cruises past Mathieu; Sod comes through a tough tough five setter against Ferrer; Djoko defeats a curiously subdued Hewitt in four; Wozniaki crashes out and Janko pulls out with a back injury (sad again); Tsonga, Berdych and Venus are also through.
I'll keep you blogged...
