Dear Diary - Wimbledon

Just been watching the start of, probably, the most famous Tennis tournament in the world; Wimbledon.

They are as usual keeping with tradition and serving not only fantastic first serves from the men and women but also classic strawberries and cream for the spectators. Of course all the players are dressed in white, do you remember back in the day when Agassi had real trouble dressing accordingly?
New for this year though is the newly installed roof on Centre court. There will be no more rain breaks to halt the game, and with last years winner Nadal injured, not even his pants pulling will delay the tournament.
Biggest question is of course if the homegrown will have a chance this year?
The hopes are up, as Murray DID win the Queens tournament leading up to Wimbledon. But Federe is back for revenge and I am sure he is ready to take another swing at winning the top spot.
For the girls, the most talk is about the fashion and if you have a look they do look very similar all of them. Apart from Robson probably, but then again she is solely concentrating on winning. Unfortunatly she's already out after a brave game that looked very hopeful sometimes. I can't believe she is only fifteen though. Bode well for the future.
I am hoping for a great tournament and some well played and exciting games, I doubt though however that anything could match the mens final last year, Nadal v. Federe, a classic marathon and as nailbiting as a 100 m rely race in any Olympic stadium.
