I woke at 5am and after a quick pee, I immediately turned on the TV in my bedroom.
I watched Ruud defeat Shang in 5 sets. Shang is from China, is 19 yrs of age and a brilliant tennis player. He may well become my new favourite when Djokovic retires.
I watched Tiafoe defeat Shelton in 5 sets. Tiafoe now plays our Aussie, Popyrin, in the next round.
I watched Popyrin defeat Djokovic in 4 sets. It was the worst I’ve ever seen Djokovic play and he served 14 double faults!!! Unheard of!! Popyrin played very well. He was confident, powerful and purposeful and I hope he plays that well against Tiafoe on Monday.
It was great watching 9 hours of tennis during my ‘somewhat’ normal waking hours.
There are Aussies playing from about 4am tomorrow. Thompson, O’Connell and De Minaur are up next. Poor O’Connell has to play number one in the world, Sinner. THAT should be interesting.
It’s been a losery kind of day for me with Djokovic going down AND the Brisbane Broncos getting thrashed by the Dolphins AND Cronulla Sharks getting pipped at the post by Warriors.
I got lots of play time in with Harley before, between and after the tennis and football.
Fend for yourself dinner was pretty boring tonight.
It’s 10pm and feels like midnight so sleep time for me.
Nite all.
