Ahhh, Wimbledon

Its one of the most exciting sporting events of the year.  Not just for the spectators but for the players too.  Everyone wants to attend a game of tennis at Wimbledon.  All the players want to qualify.  Centre court at Wimbledon is a spectacular achievement and the competition is tough. Wimbledon carries a certain air, a sense of charm, aspiration and nobility. The historic grounds and grass courts gently persuade you to feel like a gin and tonic would be appropriate about now.  Even the contenders have appeared to dignify themselves in all-white apparel for this tournament.

Every year, new players manage a glimpse of the elite and a hopeful spot for the future. But it is the favourites who give the greatest spectator pleasure. Roger Federer seems to be back in form and does not disappoint. One of the most gracious and gentlemen-like players, he is a always a delight to watch. Unfortunately for me, time differences mean a few late nights are in order.  But it just needs to be done - you can't watch the replay, it has to be live and in the moment!
