Tennis

As some may know this is the midst of the fortnight. The Championships. Or if you prefer the time Wimbledon hosts the best of tennis. If you have not followed the sport, you may not be aware that an Englisman, a full blooded Gilbert & Sullivan brand of Englishman, remains in contention for the gentlemen's championship. In fairness to Mr. Henman, the contender, he is a splendid player and he has been close before. Seeing him win on the 'middle Sunday', when flag waving British sport fans found their way in to the court, as opposed to the corporate fat cats who typically occupy the choice seats on other days, was a heartwaring sight. If he wins (the finals will be on Sunday the Fourth) he will be the first of his country to do so since Kipling was a ball-boy. Let's wish him the best. SORRY This just in on Wednesday 30 June. He just lost in the quarterfinals! Well, next year? Perhaps a tryout with the Cubs or Redsox?The Championships, Wimbledon 2004 - Grand Slam Tennis - Official Site by IBM - News
