CLICK ON IMAGES IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE IN THE CROWD. REPEAT IF REQUIRED
This morning I cut the grass.
This afternoon I watched a thrilling televised Wimbledon Ladies Final.
Angelique Kerber was a worthy loser who was in the end unable to counteract the Serena Williams serve.
Much had been said about the possibility of Serena’s equalling Steffi Graf’s open era record of 22 Grand Slam wins today.
She did.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s excellent chicken jalfrezi, boiled rice, and parathas. Neither of us drank anything.
That’s an interesting shot you have there. I would not be in the crowd 😀
Thanks, Geetha. I was so pleased that the camera couldn’t keep up with her speed
Welcome Derrick 🙂
It was a great match, happy for Serena!
Nice meal and fun post!
Thank you, Lynn. My briefest ever. Somehow seemed appropriate
Very nice
Gosh, that woman is built like a tank. I ‘m not surprised she’s unbeatable. 🙂
Absolutely, Sylvia. Thanks
A great match indeed and if I could be in the crowd I possibly would be for Serena but definitely would be for tomorrow’s match with our proud Canadian Milos Raonic who will face Andy Murray. Milos is the first Canadian man to EVER make to any major final, let alone Wimbledon!
And he deserved it. He will trouble Murray. Thanks, Lydia
Wow. The Williams sisters are something!
Thanks, Lisa
Terrific captures!! I’m rooting for Andy tomorrow. 💛
Thanks, Val. I’m happy that you liked the pics. I was especially pleased that the camera couldn’t keep up with her joyful lift
I had to smile when you wrote neither of you had anything to drink. You sound like a bit of a wine buff.
Not really a buff. Get good supermarket offers. Just enjoy the joke of quoting it. My version of Pepys’s ‘and so to bed’ 🙂
Now I can catch up on the final knowing she won.
Neither of you drank anything… not even water? Lol 🙂
I’m sorry about the spoiler, Timi. I just thought everyone would know by the time I posted. It was still an excellent match. Both a bit under the weather and had been drinking a lot of water
I liked the spoiler 🙂
I hope you both get stronger soon.
Thanks, Timi. Not too bad today
Nothing to drink? Not even some deuce?
No service. Brilliant, Bruce, as ever
Serena rocks! (So do Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez, American gymnasts I’m rooting for in the Olympics.) Too bad about Federer, huh?
Thanks, Johnna. It was bad luck that Federer fell when he did, but his opponent played very well
She is a great champion and deserves all the plaudits.
Thanks, John
She is a star. Makes me think of the old days and great champions of the past.
Yes – and a few of them were there. Thanks, Inese
That’s a well spent afternoon, indeed! Serena is incredible!
Thank you, Anna
I’m clearly behind on the news! Thanks for the update, Derrick
Thank you, Laurie
An incredible game! Yep, she did it!
Thanks, Amy
Certainly was a great event and a momentous occasion Derrick, glad you enjoyed it also.
Cheers.
Thanks, Ian
I am very happy about Serena Williams found such an outstanding performance on the tennis courts. Thank you for sharing, Derrick.
Not sure why my cell phone did this. Just correcting poor sounding grammar. My word “doing” turned into found.
Serena gave an outstanding performance.
I was happy about Serena doing an outstanding performance! Sorry but there isn’t a way to edit on my end. Hope you and Jackie feel better soon. 🙂
Thanks, Robin. That not being able to edit is a nuisance, and they do have a habit of changing your words without alerting you. We are getting there.
Amazing Serena! Gives me good bumps to see her celebrate!
Thank you, Cynthia
