Alright, let me tell you about how my day went because of this Alcaraz vs Sinner thing.
So, I got up this morning, feeling pretty good. Had my coffee, sat down, ready to tackle some stuff I’d been putting off. You know, emails, maybe finally sort out that pile of papers on my desk. Real productive stuff planned.
Then I made the mistake of checking the sports scores. Saw Alcaraz playing Sinner. Just gonna check the score, I thought. Yeah, right.
Next thing I know, I’m hunting down a stream to watch it live. Found one. Told myself, just one game. Then it became one set. Suddenly, my whole morning plan just kinda evaporated. Poof.
Getting Sucked In
Man, watching these two is something else. It’s not just hitting a ball back and forth. It’s intense. You see Alcaraz running like crazy, hitting those drop shots out of nowhere. Then Sinner just hammers the ball back with insane power. Back and forth, back and forth.
I wasn’t even doing anything, just sitting there watching, but I felt kinda tired just seeing them cover the court. Every point felt like a big deal. My emails? That paper pile? Completely forgotten. Didn’t even cross my mind.
- Found myself leaning into the screen on big points.
- Made a few noises, like “Ooh” and “Ah”, even though I was alone.
- My coffee got cold. Didn’t care.
The Aftermath
So, the match finally ended. Took hours, felt like. Incredible tennis, really. But my productive morning? Totally shot. Gone.
I looked at my desk, looked at the clock. Felt a bit silly, honestly. All that energy spent just watching a tennis match when I had actual things to do.
But hey, sometimes you just get caught up in something, right? Ended up just jotting down some thoughts about the match, kinda like this. Felt like I needed to process it or something. At least I watched some top-level sport. That’s gotta count for something, maybe?
So yeah, that was my practice today. Practiced sitting and watching tennis, apparently. Didn’t get much else done, but what a match. Worth it? Ask me tomorrow when I’m trying to catch up.
