Up at 0730 to watch the replay of last night's men's semi-final. Got a text message from Aki to say she'd landed...took her four hours to get through immigration. Suddenly remembered I was due in Stoke Newington for brunch, so hit the pause button with Novak two sets to one up, after an astonishing 53 shot rally. Cycled over to Katrina's. Tony there, as he had had work in town last night. Had a catch up over eggs on toast and sauteed mushrooms. Tony has got himself another labrador, the intention being to share them with his mum and dad in Seaford. Aki FaceTimed us from her tiny Tokyo hotel room, just as she was tucking in to her quarantine dinner. Cycled home, skirting to the east and north of Finsbury Park station, as there's an Arsenal game this afternoon.
Watched the remainder of the semi-final. Novak bossed the final set...some awesome tennis from the both of them. FaceTimed Kath who told me C4 are showing tonight's Women's Final live, having presumably paid Amazon an awful lot of money for the privilege. Kath said she'd had to phone dad at 0100 this morning, as she had locked herself out of the house...dad had to drive over with the spare key! Rang Mum to tell her the good news about the tennis, and made sure she knew what time it kicked off. Had n'duja with spring greens and pasta for dinner, perched on my knee on the sofa as I settled in for the Women's singles final. They both played some gutsy tennis...what a ride it's been for the both of them! FaceTimed Aki in her room in lockdown Tokyo. She was awaiting breakfast, which was due to be delivered to her door. She couldn't get the UK version of Amazon so was unable to watch the match, but found it on YouTube, so left her to enjoy it with her breakfast.
