News by Global Chick
It is time for the light of British tennis to shine on Kyle Edmund as he makes his debut for Aegon GB in every possible way.
Of what journey do I speak? Take your pick. The journey through a long and grueling year on the tennis tour, culminating in the World Cup of Tennis...
Consider this. This time 12 months ago, we packed into the rails behind the seats to see Roger Federer be-clad like a red-shirt from Star Trek announce that he sadly was withdrawing from the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals… umm… Final.
Stan Wawrinka rounded off the last group-stage match with a tight win over GB’s great Davis Cup hope (in case you hadn’t heard) in straight sets.
What happened, what was happening, what’s going to happen. I am sure there is some great Latin phrase that covers it, but as I am lacking a Starbucks this morning, I will stick to good old fashioned Anglo-Saxon!
It really was as if this green and pleasant isle turned into a wet grey one, and that was just the rain cloud over Djokovic’s head!
Ahh, but Global Chick will keep you in suspense for just a little bit longer as we touch base on the happenings of Monday night.
Much has been made hither and thither about whether Murray would be marking up the court with clay on his shoes, and by his own admission he set the scene that we should expect him to take some time to adjust.
Hands up who remembers last year? We had weather. Plenty of weather. And we had good matches… and quick matches. Yes we had plenty of those too.
It has often been said that we should appreciate our great champions (Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Venus Williams) while we still have them.
Ok so perhaps you can forgive a little liberty with the quote but what a staggering day of tennis...
We wake up, the sun is actually shining as the haze is banished (for a day at least) and magic happened in the first of the last round robins!
It really was one of those days. Would the Czech leftie, in the white and purple, wielding a Wilson please step forward… oh… wait!
The good news is we are edging ever closer to a Singapore Sling. The bad news though was that the first of the ‘scenario’ notes started to circulate.
Is it Day 1, it could be Day 4 by this point. Who knows. All this chick knows is that I have one thing in common with the ambient atmosphere and jet-lag… and that is HAZE!
