Go Laura Robson!



Been a fantastic week off work, had a great week trading and loved watching a lot of the matches...

Laura Robson has had a great week so far and think she can beat most on her day, but her concentration levels are the problem and in a best of 3 that could be her biggest battle. Have actually only watched 10 mins of Murray's matches as other more exciting matches have been on at the same time, but that's because he's been so consistent and won pretty easily so far...

Really enjoyed the shocks of Nadal, Sharopova and Federer, but as usual none of the players could back their scalps up losing tamely or retiring the next round, shame.

Have actually done ok on some pre race trading this last week, just steady trades that add up which is useful, I will never be a numpty who follows race form, anyone who puts their trust in an animal to win a race for a living needs to see a head doctor imo! I am just going against the low odds pre race...






Will miss Wimbledon as at work Mon/Tuesday!! but got rest of the week off to watch/trade the rest of it...still playing in Selby's Men's Tennis team and playing away at Stamford Bridge this time, hopefully we dont get beat for once lol!

Its Kind Of Summer...




Into the middle of June and I guess this is Summer, hmm well I hope it gets better! waiting for the Queens final at the moment between Murray and Cilic which I expect Murray to win, on and off with the court covers though...hope Wimbledon has better weather as I have most of the two weeks off.

Missed one of my club nights because of the weather at the local tennis club, was gutted! really enjoy it down there, different match every time as we swap over partners after one set.

Nearly won the legend of Horneris this week, 1 set all and im 5-3 up serving for the match...but yep I turned into a french tanker right at the end, to be fair he suddenly smashed some great winners at the important time, hit my best bank hand ever though which brought a "what the fk!" from the young maestro lol.

Another nice weeks trading in between work, and was suprised to see my smallish horse trades had added up to a nice figure...





Will post again during Wimbledon where I will be trading all of the first week, and then am off from the Wednesday of the 2nd week...looking forward to it!
