If you don’t know already, I am also a tennis fan. The last month, I had the privilege to watch the French Open almost on a daily basis since I was on confinement and had help with the babe. But coming into Wimbledon, I’m not so sure about my daily couching regime. I’ll probably catch the news or something.

Speaking about news, I am not exactly surprised, more of disappointment at a piece of news I read this morning – Nadal has withdrawn from Wimbledon. I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy because my favourite tennis player will have one less obstacle to face in this tournament. Sad because well, it’s not fun not watching Nadal play. Though I will not want to admit it but it’s at times fun to watch Nadal. Although, it’s not that much of a fun when he’s trashing Federer.

The reason for Nadal’s withdrawal is due to his knee injury; something he’s been having for quite a while already and something that even nutritional health supplements can’t help. If that is true, then, I’d have to give it to the guy for enduring much pain while he played. It’s not easy I can tell you that: having to manage the pain and I know all about managing pain. I had to do that at least twice in my lifetime!

Anyway, he’ll bounce back for sure. Besides, time is on his side; he’s only 24. Wow, I remember those days when I was 24. Ok, I’m digressing here. In the meantime, Federer better grab this chance of a lifetime even though, I know, deep down he’d want to beat Nadal at his own game. But, the heavens have never been so kind.

Alright, I fear, this is turning into a tennis post and it’s not my intention really. Just wanted to get it out of my system.
