Hello, Elle!
I did not see any of Nadal and his opponent playing.
Seems to have been a great game though.
I'll have to have a look out for Rod Laver.
I liked him when he played.
I like good racing in Le Tour, (and it usually is) but I do like to see Sagan do well, but only if he is good enough.
Tomorrow's stage will suit him, but will suit quite a few others, too.

It is his birthday tomorrow and he will be 95!
I have just switched on the television to watch the Women's Singles Semis......
Angelique Kerber playing Jelena Ostapenko, with Angie having taken the first set.
You sound to be busy......cycling and golf!
How is it all going?

Hello, Elle!
Well done on visiting your old neighbour!
I saw a little bit of the doubles earlier.
I have Le Tour on now, though.
A long way to the finish, yet.
My son is not coming to see me tonight.
He is fishing the Isla.

Hi, Rusty!
I found the women's tennis matches somewhat disappointing.......
Fairly easy wins - two straight sets in both matches - for Angelique Kerber and Serena Williams , who will now meet in the Final on Saturday.
I have been compensated, though, by a good Men's Doubles between Mike Bryan and Jack Sock against the Brit, Dominic Inglot, and Franko Skugor.
The Americans won.
Although it was very close!
You will miss your son coming to visit tonight!
Will he come tomorrow instead?
He usually does that , if fishing on a Thursday, doesn't he?

Hello, Elle!
I watched a bit of Jamie Murray and Victoria's match.
Was quite entertaining.
I look forward to my son visiting, but the opportunity to fish the Isla is too good to turn down.
May see him tomorrow.
Think I'll text Miss O to see if she fancies the Pine Cone tomorrow.

Hello, Elle!
Oh dear! BB's house came last!
Not to worry!
Yes, he will be sad that England missed out in their semi-final.
But, they are a young team and should improve.
Has he a favourite player? I like Harry Kane.
Murray and Azarenka play Clarke and Dart tomorrow.
I do not know who they are?
In Le Tour today, the stage was won by Dan Martin.
Dan rode very well!
Sagan was round about 8th, I think.
In the first ten anyway. He was fine and is still in green.
Brittany looked very lush and green.
I liked the French countryside.
They go to Chartres tomorrow.

Hi, Rusty!
Harriet Dart and Jay Clarke are both British tennis players - only very young...
I think Harriet is 21? I'm not sure about Jay.
I didn't realise they were still in contention.
Well done them!
Sagan did well.... I do not know Dan Martin?
I am listening...and half watching ...a programme about the Carpenters' music that I recorded.
I have always loved listening to Karen Carpenter......
I think we have all her songs!
Do you like her?
She and Katie Melua are my favourite female singers!
