Alright, so, you wanna hear about this tennis match, huh? Giorgi versus Azarenka. Sounds fancy, but lemme tell ya, it’s just two gals hittin’ a ball back and forth. I watched it, kinda sorta, when I wasn’t busy with my own chores, you know.
This was at the Australian Open, somethin’ big, I guess. They said it was in somethin’ called Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Don’t ask me what that is, sounds like gibberish to me. They gotta respect the old folks and the first people there, or so they said. Good on ’em, I say. Respect is important, even if you don’t understand what they’re jabberin’ about.
So, this Giorgi girl, she’s got a strong arm, I’ll give her that. Whack! That ball goes fast! Reminds me of my grandson throwin’ rocks at the squirrels in the yard. But Azarenka, she’s been around the block, you know? She’s like that old hen in the coop, seen it all, done it all. She ain’t gonna be scared of no fast balls.
They started playin’ at, get this, one o’clock in the mornin’! Who in their right mind plays tennis at that hour? I was already up, mind you, my joints don’t let me sleep much these days, but still. One o’clock in the mornin’! Crazy folks, I tell ya.
- Giorgi, she hits hard.
- Azarenka, she’s smart.
- They run around a lot.
That’s pretty much it. Back and forth, back and forth. Sometimes Giorgi would win a point, sometimes Azarenka. It was kinda like watchin’ the chickens fight for food, but with more yellin’ from the crowd. They showed some highlights later, the good parts, you know? Less boring than watchin’ the whole thing, that’s for sure.
I heard this was the first round, so there’s gonna be more matches. I don’t know if I’ll watch ‘em all, depends on if the cows need milkin’ or if the garden needs weedin’. But it was somethin’ to see, I guess. Two strong women, battlin’ it out. Reminds me of me and old Mrs. Henderson at the bake sale, always tryin’ to outdo each other with our pies. But instead of pies, they got tennis balls.
They said you could watch the full match replay, or some such nonsense, on the internet. What do I need with that? I saw it once, that’s enough for me. Plus, I ain’t got time to sit around lookin’ at a screen all day. I got things to do. Chickens to feed, laundry to hang, the whole shebang.
So, who won? Well, I reckon Azarenka did, that old hen, I told you she was smart. But Giorgi, she put up a good fight. Can’t fault her for that. It’s just a game, anyhow. Win or lose, doesn’t change much for folks like me. Still gotta make dinner, still gotta sweep the floor. Life goes on, you know?
But hey, it’s somethin’ different, ain’t it? Breaks up the day a bit. And it’s nice to see folks doin’ somethin’ they enjoy, even if it is hittin’ a fuzzy ball with a stick. So there you have it, my take on this Giorgi versus Azarenka match. Not much to it, really, but it was somethin’ to watch for a while. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on those chickens.
