See you next year

Yep, it's more of the same sadly once again when it comes to a British tennis player at Wimbledon. For all those years where we cheered on Tiger Tim, and we all got caught up in the euphoria surrounding him that he could do, only to sadly fall short in the semi final countless time (four). If only it didn't rain we all say :(

Now sadly Murray is following that trend, going out in 3 straight Wimbledon Semi Finals. It all starting so well. This tournament Andy was playing some breathtaking tennis, and of course with us being Brits, we got caught up in it, and already put a down payment on our mortgage that he would do it. The first set was remarkable, Andy carried on his remarkable tennis however in typical British style that soon crumbled. Instead of keeping Nadal under pressure, Murray decided he would bottle it. Allowing Rafa to storm the second set, and from there on he had the match wrapped up.

I'm annoyed right now, but in a few days it'll pass, and I'll give Rafa all the plaudits he deserves, his returns were amazing, and at times he is unplayable. But dammit Rafa, just for one year stop being so good :( it was supposed to be Murray's time.

Oh well there's always next year, and yes I will blindly believe that Andy can do it :P

Oh happy Canada Day, my boy Prince William is lording it up to our dear 144 year old Commonwealth daughter. Happy birthday Canada.
