The Tennis!!!

[Spoked Wheels]

Wimbledon starts tomorrow and hopefully will be another 2 weeks of great entertainment.

A couple of years ago I had the chance to watch Nadal, Murray and Serena Williams play in centre court, it was a great day out never to be forgotten. The best strawberries and cream ever

I don't see Murray with a chance this year so I hope Federer wins it, if not then Nadal.

Who would you like to win Wimbledon this year?

So it'll be raining in the South of England for the next couple of weeks then ?

Not an answer to you question but a related aside.....

30 years ago my brother in Zimbabwe won the Bulawayo tennis club raffle - 2 BA flights to London and 2 men's final tickets.

He immediately "banked" the flights for future use and DHL'd the tennis ticket to me. I sold them to a tout in Wimbleon Park for the then going rate (30 years ago) of £750 the pair in folding £50 notes!

Looking good already... Nadal is not looking good already though... He's love 2 sets to love down to Farcis, who has NEVER beaten anyone in he top five. Gonna be interesting to watch this.

Not holding out much hope for Murray(and I don't really like him any way.... Think, "whoever England are playing" and this kind of sums him up.

I'm a bit of tennis nut, so hoping for a good championship, rounded off by watching the final and eating strawberries at the gym in a couple of weeks!

Do the linesmen/women, umpires + referees, grounds staff and ballboys/girls still volunteer while all this money is being flashed about? ...sounds like WLTC get paid a lot of money in entrance fees/ expensive food/ drink and sponsorship/TV rights, but still expect the people, who have to make it all work smoothly on the day, to work for nothing.... I suppose they get to watch some of the tennis for nothing... which is a bonus, providing they can still concentrate.

It's good to see that Nadal got his British passport just in time for Wimbledon!
