I play tennis but after all it is only a game and should be fun.  All this fuss and coaching of youngsters and tears when they lose is not fun.  I suppose all the money involved has spoilt it.  Saw a lovely film about Wimbledon when it started and a lady won Wimbledon, think she got a small prize, and went home to tell her parents who were having tea in the garden and just said 'well done dear'.  It is good to see some different people win, and who needs to win so many times, let someone else have a chance I say.  I also watch it with the sound down.  Allotment or watching tennis, allotment and weeding every time.

If a few more of the "ovas" and "evas" get knocked out I shall be able to keep up with who`s playing whom.

Excuse me, what do you mean???  I think the roof is a good idea, should have done it years ago.  Think that was probably a better match than the final, that is usually one sided.

Yes the roof is definitely a good idea, I also think it should have been done years ago.  Better than games becoming delayed by bad weather or fading light :)
