Rainy Saturday Boredom... with tennis

So i've been tragically overcome with boredom today and i have nothing to do, and i mean absolutely nothing! (except perhaps wash the dishes but lets be serious)

I find myself, for perhaps the first time ever, sitting watching a match in Wimbledon. It's very rare that i watch a sport at all (bar Rugby of course). However, in all fairness, it's the womens final so i kinda have to watch it. But every time Wimbledon is on i need to have the rules explained to me because apparently i have the attention span of a garden chair when it comes to every aspect of tennis.
But who can blame me? is it just me that finds this game exceptionally slow and dull? perhaps it is. I can't decide which is the more exciting actually, tennis or cricket? ooh that's a tough question indeed.
They should at least have a brass band playing some tunes throughout the games! or would that be distracting? Really it doesn't matter! They just need to introduce something that will liven the game up! And the commentators are too serious...

I do confess though that when i was younger i did play a bit of tennis. Well... i say play, but really all i recall is hitting a ball with a racket...

*sigh* Alas i was never born to be sporty.

But i digress! Back to the game i'm watching and Serena Williams looks angry! She's winning though so it's all good. But isn't she a scary looking woman?


If i was playing her, and let's assume for arguments sake that i was world No.1, i would let her win.

I guess I'll be watching the mens final too at some point, mainly just because Andy Murray is playing and it would be socially unacceptable to miss it. I can hardly contain my excitement...

  1. A garden chair???? Does it have less of an attention span than a dining chair?
    It is rather good in a baseball game that they have massive heeds running around and throwing stuff into the audience, then when there is round scored (or whatever) they have tunes and stuff on the big screen....it is like all round entertainment for everyone....we need to jazz up our sport cos I am with you, never known to watch any more than rugby. Might watch Andy Murray just to see how surly he can be and enjoy that he pisses off the english
