US Open Tennis

@ 03:55 AM (34 months, 15 days ago)

I took time out from my enormous translation to watch some tennis on the box yesterday.  First up Venus and Serena Williams.  Moments of brilliance as you would expect from these two powerful players and the contained tension of two sisters meeting over the net.  Then Serena crumpled and it was Venus all the way to the end.  She`s playing better these days so it was probably deserved.

Unexpectedly, I got hooked on the end of the Sanguinetti (Italy) and Srichaphan (Thailand) match.  What a cliffhanger!  5 sets and over 4 hours.  Sanguinetti with the gestures and the Italian temper and Srichaphan all impassive.  Drama of sorts right to the end when Sanguinetti held his body and nerve together to win.  Great viewing!
