Wimbledon (Tennis....)

Never hear the #metoo crew talking about equal pay in tennis on a day like this.  Amazing.

It is health and safety gone mad.

If this was the grand national and they decided to extend it to 9 miles the animal rights loonies would be outside complaining.  Where are they for human rights?  Where are they saying men play longer should get rewarded/paid more?  These two done more today than the Women's winner will have done in 2 weeks and given themselves zero chance of winning the final recovery wise.

But is it entertaining?

Course it is but why do women get a much bigger hourly over the event for providing what a lot of tennis fans consider to be an inferior product compared to the men's product?  That's my question.  Why do the equal pay lobby never turn up for a debate on days like today?

Couldn't agree more.

Watching some entertaining tennis now.... at last.

I came home at 3.30 this afternoon to see the start of this match. FML if the two giants weren't still hammering 140mph serves at each other. Perhaps most amusing was the fact that the crowd were as one in cheering and clamouring for a service break - any service break - for the last couple of hours, just to be put out of there misery & to see some tennis with a touch more finesse. McEnroe could barely restrain himself from declaring the match a farce, particularly since it would most likely mean that the winner would be spent before hitting a serve in the final on Sunday.

On a positive note, I was taken aback by Kevin Anderson's humility; he was truly close to tears as he expressed his empathy for John Isner, his friend. Certainly a class act in real life.
