Roger was kind enough to start his match just as I got up (for the second time; I was up at 6am to check where they were at but Nadal had only just finished, so I assumed the women would take about an hour and went back to bed... and missed the first game of Roger's. Note to self: stop overestimating women's tennis) and win it just in time for me to get dressed and catch the bus at a run. I'm a little relieved and a lot proud of him and happy that I can stop freaking for the rest of today.

Also, when I saw Nadal had taken three sets? I just assumed he'd won them all and went "Oh, I thought these were best of three set matches; apparently it's five." It wasn't until the second set of Roger's that the commentators made me go "Oh? Really? Nadal lost a set?!"

I just assumed. Ass-u-me...

Oh well. I should probably stay off the 'net as much as possible today after all the time I spent on it last week. Sigh. Though I suspect I'll be checking up on Murray; the ITF site has live text commentary on the tennis which I think is my new favourite toy for this week.

Right. Work. I can't even complain; I'm just happy Roger won. :)

6.00pm: Our man from El Salvador, Arevalo, is playing Federer tomorrow, so the guy from Central America told me that Federer is on Google trying to find out information about Arevalo because he’s never heard of him

Oh ITF, you are brightening my morning immensely. They've also suggested Andy Murray was struggling because his hair was weighing him down. I am going to love this text commentary so much this week.

edit the I am sort of on my lunch and not even pretending to work: My text commentator: "I've just been chatting to Roger Federer, and he says he's really enjoying playing doubles on a stage "that really matters".

I want to be this person who gets to make funny comments about tennis all day and chat to Roger Federer. I really do. Wow. That is like my Most Awesome Job Ever.

Also, Roger. Aw. It would 'really matter' if you played them with Andy at the USO you know. Or Wimbledon. Or anywhere, really. Anywhere televised. ^_^

edit the I am avoiding counter-signing the two hundred invoices* my boss just gave me:

"10.38pm: Apparently, Novak Djokovic has been enjoying his time in the Olympic Village. The world No. 3 and Australian Open champ said he has been asked to pose for pictures and he has done it in return: "I do ask them for pictures because for me this is the memory, which is going to stay in my life forever." True Olympic spirit from the 6 foot Serb.

Things I Would Now Like to See: The fic where Djokovic asks Roger for a picture. Please. It would be so cute.

* Actually there are at least five signatures required for each invoice. Oh my god. She does realise I do have other work to do right? As much as it may appear that I'm just watching tennis results, I am working around that. o_O

edit the ALMOST TIME TO GO HOME: Guccione/Hewitt vs Calleri/Monaco is at 16-16 in the third set. How are they not ded from heat by now? Good grief.
