              The problem is the football is mostly teams that you couldn't care less about.

                I've just watched the end of the Radacanu game on the BBC Sport website.

                  Whaddya mean "mostly"? :biggrin:

                  Raducanu through, 7-5 in the 3rd. Nail-biting as she had been up 5-2 and then Pegula drew level again. I don't have a Smart TV, so that means iplayer is on my small ipad screen, but no matter.

                      It was a great match to watch if your nerves could stand it. I watched the last bit on iPlayer.

                        Excellent. I’m off work next week and the weather isn’t looking great, so I will join you all for some Wimbledon. I don’t think my strawberries will be quite ready though.

                          Fantastic 3rd round Wimbledon qualifying match on the Red Button - Goffin v Bellucci. Top 50 standard, for sure. Both deserve a spot in the main draw. Hopefully whoever misses out will get a Lucky Loser slot.

                            Bellucci won in 4. Excellent performance ... but I hope Goffin gets a place too. :fingers crossed:
