Wimbledon 2010 means summer’s truly started
Prepare some freshly squeezed lemonade, switch off the telephone and pull up an easy chair. The greatest tennis tournament on Earth has just got underway; Wimbledon 2010 is here – how will we ever get any work during this fantastic summer of sport?
With the nation already transfixed on South Africa – where England’s performances have so far amounted to what can only be described as car crash telly – it does seem rather gluttonous to be sitting down to Wimbledon 2010.
But as spectator sports go you can’t really beat football and tennis as the two games most likely to shock and inspire a nation, so why not switch on the TV, enjoy the feast, and worry about the diet later.
This year sees Roger Federer going for his seventh Wimbledon Championship, which would equal Pete Sampras record for men’s Wimbledon titles. One time Wimbledon Champ and current world No1, Nadal, will also be there - flexing his sizeable biceps no doubt. And of course we shouldn’t forget the nation’s great hope Andy Murray (shouldn’t we?).
The Women’s tournament sees the William’s sisters going toe to toe again, while a large contingent of noisy Eastern Europeans try to dislodge them from their position of unassailable dominance.
In fact the whole thing is shaping up to be so good that even Her Majesty the Queen is putting in an appearance for the first time in 33 years.
Add to that the glorious weather and it looks like this could be the best two weeks of Sport on TV for many months to come.
