A short video in German of Myla & Charlene with Mum at the tennis in Basel

Sunday's Finals

I am not going to be around today to watch any of the tennis.  I am off to Anfield to watch Liverpool v Chelsea.

Valencia


Can the lucky loser go all the way?  Can he beat the 10% owner of the tournament, David Ferrer?

This will be there 2nd meeting, the first was earlier this year in Barcelona where Ferrer came out the winner.

Tennis round-up - Basel semi finals

So we have a repeat of last years final, Djokovic v Federer.

I watched most of the first semi final. Viktor was great on serve in the first set right till it mattered then, almost predictably, he faltered. Novak, having all his experience got the breakthrough and barely looked back.

I didn't watch the 2nd match as i was watching the F1 and Valencia match (multi-tasking woman) so i cannot comment on the match.
