I must admit that I am no big sports fan but if every match was like that I'd become a tennis fan tomorrow. My heart was racing, I cheered. I gasped and, most important to this grasshopper mind, it wasn't too long :-) No tantrums and the stress only showed slightly on Laylah when, after pulling back two match points, she had to wait for Emma's injury to be treated. If that injury had been on the professional football field (Sorry Steve) I suspect the injured party would have been carried off!

Some minor things away from the match. I thought the rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" was particularly horrendous. Why do they have to do that strange warbling? I know I am shallow for this but I took an instant dislike to Laylah's sulky looking little sister and wish they hadn't kept panning the camera to her. I thought it was a bit crass to mention the prize money and have the bank present it to her. And, finally, when did "Sweet Caroline" become the anthem for all English sports?
