TENNIS: Wimbledon build-up.
Ah, so Nadal has pulled out. I'm sure it was both a difficult decision and not, putting yourself through seven potential five-setters when you're suffering from tendnitis, and, as a world No. 1 and champion, facing the likelihood of being out before that because you're not capable of playing your game.
Another weight on Murray's shoulders then/chance for him, and Wimbledon is different from the French. Federer and Del Potro must be feeling chirpier - although I would have thought that everyone would prefer to be a champion having beat Nadal. There's also Djokovic, but there doesn't seem to be that buzz around him. And I don't know who Haas is up to play in the first round.
Watched a fluff piece with Elena Dementieva on Breakfast. Maybe I'm too sensitive but would the chappie presenter be talking about the male world no. 4 at anything being a pin-up?
I'm reading Cassell's The British Girl's Annual from 1919, which has already featured an Angela Brazil story. It's a dipping into and dipping out of book. The stories are set up in columns, which I first thought was greaat, but it seems to make the story come to an end earlier.
