HOPE & FEAR

Our lawn tennis tails are up,
Andy Murray is in the semis
and he likes playing Rafa Nadal -
that's the good news.

In the wake of the World Cup,
we can re-burnish British prestige
while accepting our hero may fall -
that's the bad news.

Even if Andy does not won against nadal, he has already put up a better fight than our sad football team--by sad-I mean AWFUL !!

Well lets hope it's not going to be another nearly semi-final

Andy looked and sounded very confident in a tv interview about an hour or so back--fingers crossed for him !

MURRAY MISERY

Sport can be a capricious mistress,
dispensing her largesse
in wilful ways;
just when she seems determined to depress,
she bestows her favours en masse:
in the offing are brighter British days.

Nadal is a complete Beast..........but, in the nicest way........he is a monster on the tennis courts

Oh well Andy.. as Henry Hall would say..
HERE'S TO THE NEXT TIME.

But, we say that every year L&H .......we used to say the same about Tim Henman..........Every Year too.......

You are quite right Robert---but surely ONE year, we will get someone to the final !!!!

The final went as expected, with the Beast winning in straight sets
