    I don't think something that big can be easily transferred at this the last minute, so it would mean a postponement for this year.

    The circuit/Grand slam is all pre-scheduled and players have other commitments, for the rest of the year.

    So its all or temporary postponement for a week or cancellation.

    it wouldnt be possible in the hectic tennis Schedule to simply postpone it until a later date this year. Its either play it now or dont at all this year like Sophie writes.

    Plus scheduled recovery time for players between Grand Slam Tournaments.

    Meanwhile

    Tonight I'm finishing the brilliant "His Dark Materials", (highly recommended it's on HBO & the BBC iPlayer now) then tomorrow night I'm onto S3 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".

    I watched the "Dark Materials" and couldn't help comparing it with a film made a few years ago. I felt it was unnecessarily long and stretched out, and a little tedious as a result, although it was technically a tour de force.

    I'm glad I got the release date wrong (I thought it was on January) and that I didn't see it all over Christmas/holiday season.

    January needs Maisel.
    The television version was definitely (to me anyway) designed for a binge watch.

    I saved up all the episodes rather than seeing it weekly and I agree with your point, due to its pace a week between episodes would really slow it down.

    I remember seeing and enjoying the film version, but Dafne Keen is a incredible actor.

    I've been listening to the online radio station "Heart 80s", (you can too if you get the Global Radio app), I just heard this...

    It's funny when you hear songs and they bring back memories, that one did.

    Reminds of when I was "Dating", and I called the girl I was with, by another girls name, opps.

    Listen to the lyrics.

    I love 7 of 9. I just liked the no nonsense character she was.

    wish i would have seen Dunkirk on a big screen. The grandeur of the cinematography is lost on a normal computer or TV screen.
