My boyfriend leaves for 6 weeks and I am glad there is no tennis today as I get a chance to spend some quality time with him before he has to leave. <br /><br />Tomorrow is a public holiday here in Cayman so I get the whole day to sit and watch tv so all in all I have no complains on Middle Sunday. I have not even watched the highlight show. Just some music and wine and relaxing.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548283336955001884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-58121112413546033152012-07-01T13:15:40.335-05:002012-07-01T13:15:40.335-05:00Well, you make perfect sense, Karen, but middle Su...Well, you make perfect sense, Karen, but middle Sunday will probably always make me cranky, too :)<br /><br />I have <i>so</i> much to do tomorrow, and today, I have time to watch hours of TV.

It must also be quite pressuring for her opponents because you know deep down that no matter how badly Serena is playing or how well you are playing, deep down inside Serena is going to find a way. <br /><br />She has not been able to do it on a few occassions now, but hopefully holding her nerve in that match yesterday will benefit her in the long run. <br /><br />As for Middle Sunday, I have to say that I absolutely love it. Even though Wimbledon is my favourite tournament, there is a sense of anticipation for tomorrow's round of 16 matches. It also gives the players a chance to catch their collective breaths and get ready for Week 2. <br /><br />Can we also realise that the village of Wimbledon might also need a break from the constant barrage of people in their little hamlet? Wimbledon has been like this ever since I have been watching. There are things that are certain with this tournament: Middle Sunday is going nowhere and it will rainKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548283336955001884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-38210293096874208882012-07-01T06:40:30.753-05:002012-07-01T06:40:30.753-05:00A bit lucky by Serena.

As usual her serve gets her out of trouble. <br /><br />If Wimbledon had a tie break in the third set the result might have been different.Steve from Tennis matches on DVDhttp://www.stevenpooley.plus.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-15226505652967451692012-06-30T22:35:48.696-05:002012-06-30T22:35:48.696-05:00Serena is her own kind of mystery, isn't she? ...Serena is her own kind of mystery, isn't she? She can look really awkward, but she has so many workarounds available.

So, her footwork is terrific and awful, both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-74622751179397276412012-06-30T18:58:32.603-05:002012-06-30T18:58:32.603-05:00I wish Li na had Zheng jie's strong mental sta...I wish Li na had Zheng jie's strong mental state...<br /><br />Serenas return and forehand were terrible today.
