Slight change of plans

posted by [personal profile] mitchy at 01:33pm on 27/06/2012 under ,
I checked the weather forecast yesterday and it's going to be warmer tomorrow. Also, I realised I'd have to leave the beach early to miss the rush hour because I needed to get home in time to see Spain v. Portugal. As I don't give a fig about Germany v. Italy (for some reason), Operation:Beach will be a go for tomorrow and I won't have to belt back so can relax allllll day. Also i won't have to leave at stupid o'clock to get there (I'll leave around 9, should miss the worst of the early morning traffic ohpleasedeargod)

Just watched Heather Watson win her 2nd round match at Wimbledon. Good for her. Be good to get one of the younger female British players into the later rounds, it'll encourage people. Of course, the media will still be Andy Murray, all the time, because we can't possibly be successful until a male player wins Wimbledon *rolls eyes*.

Awww, poor Andy, he's just a sad chappie because he knows he'll always be number four and he can't get away from that. Especially at Wimbledon. I always feel bad for him. He's like Dug in "Up" - Alpha Federer, Beta Nadal, and Gamma Djokovic are always making fun of him and beating him up. He is truly wearing the British Cone of Shame.

*giggles* Good analogy :D I was reading on the BBC website today that Agassi thinks Murray's unlucky because he's in an era of greats like Fed and Nadal. And I'm thinking "Well, so was Henman - HE had to cope with you and Sampras!" There are always going to be players head and shoulders above the others, you've either got what it takes to beat 'em or not. So far, Murray hasn't, but he's fun to watch. (For the record, I never liked Henman, too much of a whiner)

I do agree with Agassi, though; Rog and Rafa are just epic players, and while Andy has beaten them here and there, he's just not consistently epic enough to do it. He's #4 (give or take) for a reason - he's really good, but the ones above him are on a significantly higher level.

Djokey Smurfovich just rubs me the wrong way, but you can't deny that he's also a badass player who deserved to jump into the top of the line.
