Tennis (and some cycling).

5th day of heat hell here, apparently 1 more day of it. There's energy and water crisis, but positive news is that the overall the country has listened to the gvmt request to save power and water during certain times, as consumption has fallen below expectation. #Hungary

It was Fábi's first match back on the ugly surface, and it showed. tons of errors, but even more from Mochizuki. In the end, a straight-set win for Fábi, 64 63, and he will meet Arnaldi in R2. #HUNwatch

Can you list the 500 winners of this year? If not, here they are. (They don't have a pic of Buse though?...) Only 4 500 tournaments remaining...

After a mild period, the extreme heat is back (around 40C), for at least a week. The water level in the River Danube hasn't been this low ever. A nuclear plant has to be switched off because the cooling from the river cannot be provided.

Great day for Van Aasche, who won his 1st atp title in Estoril (64 46 75 over Blockx). But sad day for tennis as with this, the Euro clay season is cut short,it's already over. Now the ugly, unhealthy North American (mostly US) hard court season starts,which I will mostly ignore.

A set and a break down, then Darderi served for the match in the 2nd set, then down 0-4 in the final set TB.. but SOMEHOW Blockx won this mess lol.
