I love Wimbledon, see it as a bit of british tradition. Sport hosted on home grounds and all that.
absolutely, we still have a blue riband event so lets be proud of itI don't play but its great to watch, far more interesting than cycling for me
The Nadal game for example was riveting stuff

Only minor downside for me is that for some reason I cannot explain I dislike Andrew Castle.
My ex thought I was a bit odd that I had an irrational hatred for him.I have no idea why I do?
I'm not a tennis fan, but it's a national institution/tradition, only on for 2 weeks.
Even school became more informal back in the day, and teachers allowed us to watch the best matches on primitive b/w TVs.
You try booking a tennis court during Wimbledon or a few weeks after - shows it actually gets people off their bums.
As someone who used to love watching live England Test Cricket on the BBC and remembers the legendary Botham game, it will be a sad day when Wimbledon disappears to pay for view too.

Yep. The week before and for a couple of weeks after, all public tennis courts are rammed around here. I ended up joining a local club just so I could guarantee a game when I fancied it.Adam B said:

Will agree it's more interesting than cycling.
