What a nice day....still

I got a little work done cleaning the oven. And then figured out my Smart bike rack so I had a nice bike ride in my old neighborhood pushing my distance a bit. Then back to watch a pretty good tennis semi final and a bit of a nap.

But now I'm watching what will go down as one of the greatest tennis matches ever played. It is so good the French government cancelled the eleven o'clock cerfew so the 5000 lucky fans could continue to watch and support. They spontaneously sang the Marseilles as thank you.

Nadal and Djokovic are like two heavy weight prize fighters punching toe to toe for hour after hour.

They are making impossible shot after magic shot, more in each game than usual in a tournament. All the tennis legends are checking in on Twitter to comment from all over the world.

Pretty amazing day. So far.

I'm going to root for Tsisipas in the Final. The semi final was splendid tennis!

I think you're going to have a sad day. Djokovic is hard to like for some reason but he is a magnificent tennis player who is on the top of his game always with something to prove and a Grand Slam possibility in front of him.

That third set with Djokovic and Nadal was one of the best sets I've ever seen in tennis. Half a dozen impossible shots in nearly every point.

I think Nadal just physically is fading. No surprise. That much intensity takes a toll.

i did not watch it but I did notice that our local NBC affiliate bumped Ellen and the news for it. So I figured it was a biggie. thanks for the explain.

That sounds like it was incredible to watch. I bet tennis fans are thrilled!
