99% of the time I have no interest whatsoever in sport. This changes for about two weeks in June, the Wimbledon fortnight and I get very excited indeed about tennis. I’ll have the BBC Sport news feed open all day on my work computer and random people from all over the office call the switchboard to simply ask the score/s of certain match/es. I even recall actually ‘borrowing’ a meeting room that had a television in to watch the Mahut and Isner match – and wasn’t that amazing?

This year, I seem to have been sucked into the French Open. I’ve been on the edge of my seat watching Andy Murray play. I had the video feed of his match against Chela playing most of the day – and of course was then complaining about how slow my computer was. Rather than turning it off though, what did I do? Simply stopped working for a while and enjoyed the tennis.
Yes, I’m a naughty girl but it’s not like my manager (and his manager) aren’t among those who use the ‘Megs Wimbledon Hotline’ on an annual basis.

My heart has however sunk with the realisation that Murray’s semi-final is going to be against Nadal. And oh how I’m looking forward to Federer vs Djokovic!
I’m genuinely not sure if I want a Nadal vs Federer or Nadal vs Djokovic final – I think either way is going to be amazing!
Tomorrow I’m looking forward to Li vs Sharapova.

I’m wondering if maybe I’m more of a tennis fan than I ever actually realised!
