Has anyone been following the tennis?
Who do you want to win Nadal or Federer?
I love watching both of them but would really like Nadal to win this year as Federer has won so many times already and Nadal has yet to win. Either way it should be a brilliant match tomorrow if I can bear to watch.

Go placidly amidst the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

What a fantastic match. I could hardly bear to look at times. Both are very worthy champions but I'm delighted for Nadal. ;D I too loved the way he ran up to his parents and family, his Uncle has been his trainer since he was a little boy. Happy days. ;D Thanks for posting the pic Tig ;D

I'm not really a tennis fan but I was pleased that Nadal won, as he seems really passionate for the sport. That's not to say that Federer isn't too but he seems more like a robot in his approach with all of his emotions firmly under lock and key.

I have just one question for Mr Nadal should he happen to be looking in. Why was he 'fiddling' with his behind the whole time?

Does he suffer from piles? ;D If so lying flat out on the Wimbledon turf will have done him no good at all.
