Did anyone see the Tennis today? I love the Wimbledon finals - I'm not a sports fan, I like Wimbledon but not tennis generally, the World Cup but not football, and gymnastics and ice skating!
But the men's finals today - it was so close, so hard, I could completely understand why Federer burst into tears at the end - he's the unstoppable defender, Nadal seemed so young, and Federer's round little youthful face is gone, he's leaner, he looked so much older than the baby faced Nadal with his lovely adolescent arms! But he's only 25, for God's sake!
I love the epic quality of a tennis match, and today they were like Titans - or something out of Fionn MacCumhaill. I loved the Federer told Nadal at the net that it could have easily been him winning, they were so well matched. And if I was Nadal I'd be thrilled - to hit Wimbledon, get to the final, and then play like that against an opponent like that. It's so emotional! Great telly.
