The tennis is so good it's keeping me up late. Embarrassed

It used to do that to me as well...not so much now though!!!

The Hjikata vs Struff match last night was as exciting as any final match.

must get a look at that one then.

Nothing beats live action -
it went down to a tie break in the 5th set !!

Hjikata started the tiebreak winning every point but
then it changed and he lost the match.

Hello Bobby,

Well you are the only one who kept up with the tennis- so pleased the The Joker is coming along there- he is good there is no doubt about it and he has Rafa and Federer upset about that as well.Rafa went back to Spain I think but that just gives him better time to breathe I guess- no distractions- I always saw the genius in him even when he was messing around before he took it up seriously, he had some definite talent that he just played with- but who knew he would all of a sudden take himself seriously- its all good anyway.

I have not been watching because my my comp has been suffering a few things and in the next couple of days it should be back to normal- thank f/uck for that!!!

My daughter is still messing around in the USA but I doubt I can bring her back here- I will have to see what happens there-

I should be able to watch some Tennis soon- so upset about my comp taking this time to play stupid games on me-

I know the Joker will win it anyway but it would have been nice to see it. I hope you are making notes and there are times when I won't be able to even log in. So if you could record some scores that would be awesome- you are so good at it- Im counting on you - take care and enjoy the tennis Bobby !!
