coming from behind

i am bitterly disappointed that not a single corporate on this continent thought to take up the obvious and ensure a live feed from one of the most riveting and intense gladiator challenges since ancient rome...

with no satellite the only option was to go back to the future to commentary via streaming audio. it has been extremely tense. the live feed is slightly behind the live score board and i have had to resist the urge to keep watching the numbers change on screen and listen to what is reported.

being enormously impatient i have found that i am listening over the commentators to each shot of a ball trying to visualise who hits what and where.

i am insanely jealous of those in the states watching on espn 360 and those in britain watching courtesy of the bbc all of whom are bound to be are gripped as they witness a moment in the history of the gentleman's game as we sit in the final set at two games each after two tie breakers, two rain delays, most people ignoring the endurance of the defending champion in what is set to be the most intense of final games ever witnessed in the history of this sport...
