It was windy by the time I arrived at the place for Tuesday tennis - Sibley High School. There were wind gusts to 20 miles per hour. That added a bit of complexity to the game, but it was warm - nearly 90 - and we played three sets. The competition was mixed doubles and the hard core girls were there to win. 3-6, 2-6, 6-1 were the scores.Wimbledon continued today featuring the ladies quarter finals. At the end of the day, there are four women left in the tournament - two of them happen to be Venus and Serena Williams in opposite brackets. There is a very good chance that they'll play each other for the trophy on Saturday. I still like Venus. Tomorrow's matches feature the men's quarters.
It must be nearly time for the bike tour of France to begin. I understand they changed some of the rules for this year to cut down on the excitement. No bonus points?

Good theme post. Plenty of no's and a tennis court for context. I like it. Your day on the court sounds like fun. Near 90 you say? We seem to be stuck in a different weather pattern here. TdF has no prologue, either. I am not sure how the lack of time bonuses will change the race strategy, but it certainly will. It's hard to get excited about bike racing any more, but I will certainly follow it -- somewhat, anyway.
