Once upon a time, I would not have been at all happy at the prospect of Roger Federer getting overtaken in his slam count, especially with how smug the fans of Rafa/Novak would be about it. But I'm pretty mellow about such things nowadays. And I really was impressed by a lot of the tennis Rafa and Novak played today, especially, of course, near the end, when the latter stopped losing quite as badly and made the former earn his big two-oh. It was also good to be reminded, by the way he handled himself during the ceremony, of what a decent person Rafa Nadal is, at least by all accounts. Goodness knows we need all of those we can get. Very much enjoyed Iwa Swiatek yesterday, too. Of course it would've been better had the two finals this weekend been a touch more competitive. But on a weekend where most looks I've taken at social media I've regretted, we take what good shows we can get.

I had a workmate (she retired just before I left) who was a mad Federer fan for years, used up all her leave by taking time during the big matches to just sit at home and watch, had his pictures up on her cubicle...

I never got it, then I found my one or two figure skaters and yeah, I get it.

I'd had plenty. But I'm not sure I will again.
