WIMBLEDON!!

Wimbledon is back! 2 weeks of tennis all day, addiction and very good looking men in shorts wiggling their bums! hehe.

I love Wimbledon, it's the only sporting event I really follow (I'll kind of follow the French Open as it's just before Wimbledon and helps me to know who to look out for this year) of course I follow the Olympics too. But that's only every 4 years. I'm not as interested in the Winter Olympics.
I really hope that one day I get to go to Wimbledon. I really want to go sit on Murray Mount and watch the tennis. I think the experience would be amazing and so incredible. I have friends who live in Wimbledon and the surrounding area and every year during Wimbledon I say I will go visit and we will go to the tennis and every year it never happens. So I'm hoping in the next 2 years while I'm at university I get to go. This year would have been terrible to go. With the Jubilee, and Olympics as well as Wimbledon it's even more of a tourist hotspot.

Every year I always watch Federer, Nadal and Murray's matches. I'll keep and eye on other people as well but predominantly I'll watch those 3 people. Murray is British so he's my team, but I also love Federer and Nadal so I watch them religiously too. They're really good, strong players and their games (especially against each other!) are brilliant to watch. They're so exciting and have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
I just find it hard to follow on the radio so always have to watch it. Luckily my Mum likes Wimbledon too. But she's more into the final. Whereas I follow it from the start. I'm not really one for joining in part way through something as I like to know what's happened.

So I have 2 weeks of tennis ahead of me. Nadal is presently playing his first match and is winning. I hope this is a good sign!

Enjoy Wimbledon people. And if you don't watch it....well I hope there's something else for you somewhere because it takes up A LOT of air time :)
