On Sunday, 9 July 2006, I watched the Wimbledon men's singles final at my friend Mark's house. Mark was actually hosting a party for the FIFA Men's World Cup football final between Italy and France that evening, so I made sure a second screen was available in case the tennis went past kickoff. But Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal with time to spare for the football. Last night, though, we had tickets for the UEFA Women's Euro football match in Basel between France and the Netherlands, and we had to leave before the Wimbledon men's singles final ended. So I watched on my phone, and the match again ended before kickoff. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 14 July 2025)
