I think that second set has broken Ruud. He'd not really made many mistakes, but was down 6-3, 6-3. This set he's seemed like he just can't will himself to the ball like he was before.
It must be frustrating to have to play 2 or 3 worldies in a rally to win the point. Little wonder he's mentally drained.
Fair play to them really, did well at the back to keep a clean sheet. Won't be an easy game against them (bad memories from euro whateveritwas...), but fingers crossed we can have em. Just wish it was being held somewhere more sensible ...
Did anyone watch the football on channel 4 yesterday? The Mail have a full length story titled "Viewers blast 'woke', 'awful' and 'politically correct' Channel 4 coverage of England's Nations League match with Germany - after broadcaster seized rights from ITV", but somehow entirely neglect to mention a single thing that was supposed to be woke or politically correct in their coverage. Does anyone have an idea what they're on about?
The only thing I can think of were that the two main presenters and one of the pundits were women.
There were a couple of shots of the outside of the stadium lit up in Pride colours. I can’t imagine that wasn’t 4’s decision, although it’s not like the Mail would ever let facts get in the way of a bit of frothing outrage.
Yeah are there any other sports where five competitors die (largely independently) within a few days of each other and they're like "crack on lads this is fine"?
