it has a passion that is even bigger than mine for 1) history 2) antropololgy 3) archeology. Obviously it is stretched, but that condition could persist for many more months. 

So if you are long, like I am, you must be conscious of the risk, but the risk is always there when you have to deal with markets. Have a good trading everybody.

And one reason why I'm building a large short lol!!  But way more importantly is the final Sinner and Zverev.  Looks like it will be Sinner as you thought but I just have to root for Zverev as he's never won a slam yet lol!!

I too would like him to win a first slam, but not this time please. Next time he plays a slam final, against someone else.....Alcaraz for example. However tennis fans who are also players are different to 

soccer fans. We cheer for the best one, whoever he is and for the one that is the most respectul of his opponents...............in other words SINNER............LOL.

everywhere, but as I told you I started tennis when I was twelve years old, I managed to learn a sophisticated technique by myself alone which technique brought a registered national tennis master to say I'm a monster if I never took any lesson. How could I play anything else ? Tennis is in my DNA. And there's no place for anything else at least until my body supports me.

 

The reason why I'm technically so good is that from fourteen to sixteen, I used to spend three or four hours on the court during Summer's vacations, so that I could try any variation I could think to in order to improve my technique.

three or four hours DAILY I was saying.........it's the reason why now that I'm no longer a teen ager, I've got muscle and bones under stress whenever I play, because my technique is highly demanding from a physical

point of view. In other words I'm physically broken. No matter, nothing will ever make me decide to stop playing. Never give up they say and I never give up.

hey 12SPX, congratulations to American Madison Keys for winning her first slam. It's always nice when an atleth reaches a target desired for a long, long time and she had and has everything that is needed to  

to play at the highest level so that it is well deserved.

Sabalenka's shoulders are too wide to make me cheer fo her, LOL. I prefer to cheer for Kalinskaya. But I believe I'm not the only one. However tomorrow morning, 9.30 local time here the big duel 

is set up to start. I will watch just the initial part, because at 10.30 I'm on clay court for my usual match. Have a good week end.
