Excitement at the Open!
Jan. 25th, 2016 11:55 pm11:26pm: Yes indeed, right now the Round 4 match between Madison Keyes and the Chinese tennis player Shuai Zhang who until this tournament hadn't been able to win a match. However! Keyes seems to be rather injured, but nevertheless is plugging on...and Shuai needs to win this set to stay in thd game.
Although it brings up an interesting question even though Keyes might be well placed to win this round, it seems somewhat unlikely she could play the next. Is it fair then for her to keep going and cost her opponent a chance to continue? Then again, sport is sport and lots of people said the same thing about Plushy, although that was kind of different. The commentator did say threat there'd be 24 hours between matches and the physio can work wonders.
Well, Shuai got the second set so now it's gone to a third and Madison is hanging on, but I'm starting to worry for her, she looks like she could really do herself some harm. But apparently only the player can decide to withdraw, unless their leg complete gave out I guess? Ouch.
On a lighter note same sports outfit syndrome has struck again! I think they're all Nike outfits, they must have had a sale. :OP
Now, I don't need to get up as early as usual tomorrow (it's a public holiday) but I don't want to stay up too late so I'll wrap this up here.
Not much else to sat anyway although I'm at the parental abode here since I came over to talk possible rentals with Mum, no decisions made yet. But I did see something very promising with a Lock Up Garage and everything!
I'll keep you posted for now, goodnight!
