It is the only time I am glued to the television every evening. It is the only tournament that I passionately follow, even after all these years.
What so special about this years Lawn Tennis Championship?Well for a start it has to be the brand spanking new roof built over Centre Court! Now I know, some may say a roof really does not make it for the Open Lawn Tennis but I think, really it is magnificent and definitely overdue. How many years have gone through where the good old British weather has put a complete damper on Wimbledon. In fact without the weather, there is no Wimbledon, I mean come on there is always some remark on the weather, every few minutes in the commentary
Rain disruption no more though. At least for Centre Court! Whats to bet we get very little rain disruption over the next two weeks? I mean after all it's foracasted to be the hotest and driest summer ever. Rain or not Centre Court is certainly covered -:)
Then thanks to BBC, we have live coverage of around four matches, so throughout the next two weeks, top of my quick links is 'Watch Live Wimbledon' I really am looking forward to the next weeks.
Tennis fashion always takes up so much media attention. Russian players like Sharapova have bought so much glamour to the sport but this year the focus is most definitely on the men. Roger Federer sporting his new gear, he really does look so pristine and handsome. He is the absolute most distinguishably dressed player. Regardless of the player, the all white dress code makes it the most clean and fresh sport to watch.
Finally, strawberries and cream are immensely attached to Wimbledon, not quite sure why...but I will undoubtedly enjoy my strawberries and cream ...and of course the Wimbledon!
Game, Set, Match...
