Wimbledon 2009
My favourite tennis tournament is commencing tomorrow. The prestigious Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships, the 3rd Grand Slam on the calendar. And probably the most meaningful.
Why I love Wimbledon?
It's because of the tradition, the grass, the strawberries, the cream, the dressed up court people and the all white which to me, symbolizes purity. They look like angels playing. And the royalty. The respect players have. And the awesome-ness of it all. New players will be in awe the moment they walk through the gates. History seeps into every corner of this tournament and players try their doubly best to win and get their hands on the most prized silverware. The gentlemen's trophy will be inscribed with the inspiring words, "The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Champion of the World." What more motivation do you need?
Roger Federer will try his best to win his 15th Grand Slam and surpass Pete Sampras' record. Grass is his favourite surface and best too as he has won 5 consecutive years before Nadal ended it in the greatest men's final last year. Nadal, the defending champion, has ruled out this tournament due to his wonky knees so Federer will probably be the first seed and tournament favourite to reclaim his trophy.
Not to be outdone, home favourite, Scot Andy Murray will have the backing of the entire nation as he tries to be the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936. That will be a tall task as it adds more pressure on the Scot as he won his first grass court title prior to Wimbledon and got the hopes of the nation up.
This is sure to be an exciting one. FEDERER ALL THE WAY! :D
Wimbledon starts tomorrow.
