Some amazing #realtennis overnight - it’s day 2 of the men’s world championship. First to 13 sets, played over 3 days. The nailed down favourite Camden Riviere (what a name!) who’s lost two matches since 2014 was 4/0 up after day 1. Suddenly, challenger John Lumley grabs three of four sets to make it 5/3 with all to play for. Specatcular stuff. https://www.youtube.com/live/eAbllhW9kiE?si=iXR0b_FG9lglpkfm #sport #tennis

I started my day with a game of #RealTennis against an astrophysicist. He tells me that #ReceptioGate has reached their field, so it's not *just* of interest to those in a medievalist bubble!

A weekend of sporting oh-so-nears (#England, #tufc and a heartbreaking 6/8 in the final of the OUTC #realtennis mixed doubles) leavened by the fantastic flawless splashdown of #Artemis1 and an experimental scotch vallombrosa: Jura, Dollin Blanc, yellow chartreuse and peychaud’s. #cocktail
