I regret to announce my semi-retirement from writing tennis-reports,
with immediate (and indeed retrospective) effect.

I have just started a new job which means that I will have many fewer
hours to pursue my hobbies than I did before, and there is no way
that I would be able to sustain the effort currently required to
research and write my lengthy reports.

Just as tennis-players don't make it without hard work and
sacrifices, so too must I work hard and make sacrifices to progress
my career as a computer-scientist.

It pains me greatly to make this decision, but it's something I did
foresee when I made my vow for each member of my Eternal Fanship:
>>>
From now on, and until the end of her career (or my life), I will
follow her with the same level of dedication as the players of whom
I'm already an Eternal Fan, to the maximum extent that my personal
circumstances and available resources will allow.
<<<

The maximum extent that my circumstances and resources now allow is
the following:

1. I will continue to update the Matchographies on my website.

2. I will continue to update the Biographies on my website at the end
of each year.

3. During the French Open, Birmingham, Eastbourne, Wimbledon,
Australian Open, and the Olympics, I will follow these tournaments
with the same dedication as I did before. But I will not be doing any
more /extended/ reports for these tournaments (except the ones that I
actually attend).

4. I will follow other tournaments privately, without posting
reports. This even includes the US Open, which is not televised on
any channels to which I have access, and is therefore not worth
demanding two weeks' extra leave for.
