That is the most dreadful pun which they used on the BBC and I'm sure will be sports page headlines today.
So well done once again to Arthur Fery who beat Flavio Cobolli in three straight sets to win and get himself into the Semi Finals. The third set was odd as Fery won 6-0 which seemed much too easy, almost as if the Italian slowed down and gave up.
He plays the German, Sascha Zverev on Friday. Zverev is second seed, much more experienced, so it will be a "whole different ball game!"
Sorry!
Nothing else to write about. Too hot to think yesterday, but thank you for all the comments that I didn't get around to replying to. Supposed to be even hotter today.
They are talking about an extra bank holiday if England wins the football. Can we have one if a Brit wins Wimbledon too?
ReplyDeleteWould be good but................
DeleteIt was extremely hot at Wimbledon yesterday - but what an atmosphere . I really like Cobolli , but I wonder if he ran out of steam , as he was the RU at Roland Garros . Arthur was incredible
ReplyDeleteWimbledon and the World Cup ? A girl can dream ……..

Goodness, the heat must have been almost unbearable, I don't know how they play without passing out!
DeleteI hope Cobolli can do well in the future and be another up and coming youngster to replace the oldies but I'm glad he waited until after yesterday to do that
I enjoyed watching the match and hope he can go to the final. It’s heating up here too so I will be staying indoors after I come back from the hairdressers. Catriona
ReplyDeleteHope you don't have to sit under a hairdryer! - it wouldn't be needed here, hair and washing dry in minutes at the moment.
DeleteIt was a fantastic match, he ruled the court, his confidence is amazing, they said he will be British no 1 after this run.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so good if Jack Draper can fully recover and Arthur doesn't get injured and we have two brilliant players for the next 10 years.
DeleteI'm not really into sport of any kind but Fery is a brilliant player and so calm!
ReplyDeleteperfect temperament with no fuss - brilliant
DeleteWhat an incredible run by Arthur Fery! Wishing him the very best against Zverev. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteits hot here in Indonesia as well
I guess it's always hot in Indonesia!
DeleteSoooo hot but at least we’ll be able to say that we’ve had a summer

We have to remember how hot it was when we are moaning about the cold!
DeleteHow on earth is he, or anyone else for that matter, playing in the afternoon heat. He deserves the money he has already won for getting this far.
ReplyDeleteI can't even think about walking anywhere far - definitely not running - must be good to be young and fit!
DeleteHeat can really sap all of your energy. Sports & construction outdoors must be very difficult on their systems. I imagine you reading as you sit in front of a fan.
ReplyDeleteNo fan, I don't like them. Just open windows and a icepack with a wet tea towel
DeleteI can't imagine how hot it is playing tennis. AF is amazing. What a win!
ReplyDeleteThe heat is slowly increasing here. By Friday it is predicted to be 90 degrees F.
Luckily we have stayed below 90F this time round - just the high 80s/30C
DeleteFery's name is a gift to headline writers. I hope he does well - that is, wins - in his next match.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too but it will be a difficult job this time around
DeleteGroan. Lol
ReplyDeleteHot here too.
