IT'S THE WATER! IT'S TIME TO BLOOM!
IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE PUTTING UP MORE PICTURES...TOMORROW. GOT SOME GREAT ONES WHILE I WAS IN PEQUOT (2ND 3RD, 4TH SETS)...AND JUST AS THE 4TH SET ENDED...I TURNED ON THE TV AND WATCHED SOMETHING SO...'SPECTACULAR'...FROM WIMBLEDON! CAROLE E...8:05 PM/LET'S SEE IF I CAN PUBLISH THIS! #######THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO STOPPING HIM! YOU COULD SEE IT IN HIS EYES...YOU COULD FEEL IT WITH THE CROWD...IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF...'TIME!' IT IS 7:08 AND WILL TRY TO GET THESE UP HERE. I HAVE SO MANY. DURING THOSE MIDDLE SETS I WENT TO PEQUOT AND GOT SOME...'MEMORABLE PICTURES.' CAROLE E
JUST WHEN MARTY FISH WINS THE 5TH SET...6-3 ...A TIEBREAKER IS STARTED BETWEEN PASAL FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND NADAL! IT IS NOW 1:08!! BACK AND FORTH IT WENT...PASAL NOT ONLY SURPRISING NADAL...BUT PLAYING ABSOLUTELY...'BRILLIANTLY!. THERE WAS...'NO WAY'...I WOULD LEAVE THIS TIEPBREAKER FOR IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE, AND FORTUNATELY FOR NADAL...HE ...'OUTLASTED'...AND WON! 11-9 IN A FIRST SET TIEBREAKER...THAT HAS TO BE A RECORD FOR...SOMETHING!!?? I AM...'EXHAUSTED'...JUST WATCHING AND SNAPPING PICTURES AND...'DELETING PICTURES'...SO I COULD MAKE ROOM FOR THIS...'IMPRESSIVE'...FIRST SET! CAN THEY KEEP IT UP/WHY NOT...HE HAS HIS CHANCE...AND HE IS GOING TO TAKE IT/THAT'S FOR SURE! I TURNED IT OFF BECAUSE ANOTHER MATCH...'ALWAYS CATCHES MY EYE'...AND AT THIS PACE, I ASK MYSELF: 'WILL I EVER GET TO PEQUOT LAKES? (NOT IF YOU KEEP WATCHING!!) I WILL WAIT WITH THESE...'INCREDIBLE'...PICTURES OF SEVERAL MATCHES...AND (YOU DO KNOW IT IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES AWAY...I KNOW!) EXCITING TENNIS...AND HERE I WAS GOING TO WAIT TILL: CLOSER TO THE END/YAH RIGHT!! THESE MATCHES CAN'T EVER BE BEAT! CAROLE E 1:15 PM ##### BACK FROM PEQUOT/3:40...TURN ON THE TV ...'WHAT??????' 5TH SET/ROSOL LEADS 2-0 UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! THE CZECH REPUBLIC IS CELEBRATING!! ONE OF THE MOST...'IMPRESSIVE PLAYERS'...TO BE SO CALM AND COLLECTED AGAINST NADAL, AND CONTINUING ON THROUGHOUT THE 5TH SET...WINNING THE LAST GAME...40-LOVE...WE ALL ARE AMAZED THAT HE ...'CONSISTANTLY'...NEVER LETTING UP...DETERMINED TO DO IT...AND HE DID! THIS EARLY FOR NADAL TO LEAVE??? IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF NADAL'S PLAYING FOR THIS GUY WAS...'UNSTOPPABLE!!' TALK ABOUT CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF, AND THE DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED!! THIS WILL BE TALKED ABOUT FOR SOME TIME...NOT EVEN A ...'TOP-RANKED PLAYER'...WHO SHOWED...'ALL OF US!!'...THAT SOMETHING...'LOOKING'...AS IMPOSSIBLE AS THIS...ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT FIRST SET TIEBREAKER (11-9) THAT I STAYED TO SEE, AND THEN WENT TO PEQUOT, AND ARRIVING HOME SAW THAT ...'IMPRESSIVE!!'...5TH SET WHEN HE DIDN'T ...'LIGHTEN UP'...A BIT, BUT KEPT RIGHT ON DOING WHAT HE WAS OUT TO DO. AND HE DID!! TALK ABOUT AN...'INSPIRATIONAL PLAYER!!!' SO OFTEN...SOMETHING LIES BEFORE YOU THAT LOOKS NEARLY...'IMPOSSIBLE.' IF YOU WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS MATCH ( I SAW THE 1ST SET AND THE 5TH SET)...YOU COULD...'FEEL'...THIS MOMENTOUS EVENT...THAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS...RATHER NEGATIVE...GIVE IT ALL YOU HAVE, AS THIS CZECH PLAYER DID, AND KEEP ON GOING! WOW!!!! WAS I GLAD I CAME HOME IN TIME TO SEE THAT 5TH SET!! YOU BETCHA!! CAROLE E 4:23 PM. UPSETS???? MORE TO COME???? YOU HAD BETTER BELIEVE IT! I AM EXHAUSTED JUST WATCHING IT!!
