Obviously, I should have posted this before now.

Of course the other sporty thing that happened that day was that the Welsh men’s football team beat Ukraine (yes, it was awkward, but although I felt bad, I still really wanted us to win, and I have only begun to understand that soccer is more than men running up and down a pitch, sometimes with a ball, and collapsing in fake agony for no good reason since 2016.) And we did. So, we’re in the World Cup. And we sang about it. There’s more to be said about all that, even from my removed perspective, but it’s a lot to unpick.

I saw a little of Nottingham on iPlayer: some Evans, some Sakkari. It’s no Queens or Eastbourne, and they’re no Wimbledon. And then came the news that this will be Sue Barker’s last Wimbledon. It seems like it is by choice and for entirely understandable reasons. I presume they’ll hand it over to Claire Balding, who I like more as a presenter of other sports, but on the plus side, that means she won’t be doing Today at Wimbledon, and they’re unlikely to give that back to Inverdale (although I wish they’d stop letting him ‘commentate’.) Is it too much to ask that they get someone who gets tennis and likes it?
