June 24. A Sports Update

Today I finished my speech for the Speaker on health care in Ghana. Also today the All Whites of New Zealand managed, against all odds, to finish their three first round matches without a loss. However, because the hated World Champion Italians couldn’t even manage a tie with Slovakia, New Zealand is eliminated.

In other sporting news – and I report this simply because it’s absolutely laughable and sets a record that is likely never to be broken – American John Isner beat Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 70-68 in the fifth set of their first round match at Wimbledon. It lasted an incredible 11-plus hours and took three days to finish, with the only break of serve since the second set being the margin of victory.
