No, it’s not Christmas.
It’s Wimbledon, which starts today.
The image to the right is of Centre Court, the most famous venue in all of tennis.
This year, they have added a retractable roof to Centre Court, making rain delays into a distant memory.
What could be better? Grass court tennis. Coverage on ESPN2. Nightly recaps on The Tennis Channel. Federer’s shot at history as he goes for his 15th Slam.
Who needs Christmas when you’ve got this?

Do you think Anonymous has the first name of Don? Your comment seemed to contains some bias, or could it just be hyprocrisy? Just kidding, enjoy the matches!
I, too, enjoy this time of year. But with Nadal out of action, I’m afraid Federer will indeed break Sampras’ record. The Swiss giant is about as “exciting” as Sweden’s Borg was from my generation. Only wish we could bring back Connors or McEnroe to enliven the action. And I’m glad Jack’s PGA record will stay alive a little longer with Woods going down at this year’s Open. As you can tell, I’m not much for either current champ.
Um…do you seriously have The Tennis Channel?
