Tennis ......is not that boring....after All

Alright, all ready..........

We have not been your avid supporters of professional tennis.....A bunch of spoiled rich white kids......where no shouting or rooting or booing from the audience is aloud in these tournaments......where , if you are over 25.....you're a dinosaur.....and past your prime......

Well...........a funny thing happened this week-end.

There was some amazing tennis played across the pond in England, at Wimbledon.

In the women's final, the Williams sisters took "centre court".....For the 3rd time at Wimbledon, Venus and Serena met in the final match for the singles championship. They did not disappoint. They went at each other..........they fought........they played.....hard. And in the end.......it was Venus defeating her best friend (who also happened to be her younger sister) in straight sets.

What is also amazing is ..........a few hours later........these two sisters teamed up to win the doubles championship. And this one wasn't even close. The Williams destroyed the opposition in straight sets.

Then came Sunday........today. The mens' finals.......Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer (he of 5 straight Wimbledon championships).


This was great TV..............and some really good tennis...

Nadal won.......6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7............in a dramatic 5 set match which featured not one.......but two rain delays.

I must admit........I have not sat down and watched a tennis tournament in quite a while....but these guys........and gals.....put on quite a show.

We just might have room on this blog for tennis ........after all...

It sure was not boring.

And that's a good thing for the sport of tennis.
