Wimbledon has to be one of my longest watched sporting events of the year.  I remember running home from school and watching with bated breath as legends slugged it out on the grass courts of London.

I think my early associations with London came from “The Championships“.  Watching Sampras, Agassi, Graf, Navratilova and co, with their big serves, beautiful volleys and needle-threading passes, always gave me goosebumps. Oddly none of the other Grand Slams gave me that feeling.

Watching Federer and Djokovic fight it our last night was a truly amazing experience.  Two of my all time favorites playing truly beautiful tennis, that just adds to the allure of “The Championships”.
