    Any tennis fans?

    What a Wimbledom final with the Swiss Roger Federer and Scotsman Andy Murray.. Roger is now 30 [now ranked 1] and has waited 2 1/2 yrs to win another Grandslam. This makes him the winner of 17 GSs after commencing his career in '98 as a junior. Andy [ranked 4] has been in 4 GS finals,..but hasn't won one yet.

    The 2 top players who bombed out of this year's Wimbledom were

    Me too :-) Tennis is a great game. It has all the elements of sport ie attack [first serve acing] in some cases 2nd serve as wqell,..but most go safewith the 2nd serve,..the rest is all about "game plan" which for the most part is so Machevellian I need the ex-pro commentators to tell me what's going on :-) But,..Federer is like watching CGI generated tennis moves, he isso good at the game. There are some previous greats at the sport,..plenty of them,..but for me 2 stand out : Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras. Connors was playing 1st grade tennis well into his 30s,..he's alone in that respect... Sampras just used his acing ability to get him out of trouble :-) It wascommon to see him launch 3 or 4 aces to win a game or a set!
