Newest Review: ... my place at Wimbledon. It was a lot of work, especially for a person that had never picked up a tennis ball in his life! I had to learn the rules of by heart, the most confusing for me was the tiebreak, the ball change and the changing of the ends. It meant a lot of work, but it would all pay off in the end. At one point I thought I would not get in and I even thought of dropping out! ... more

... Lets now skip 24 weeks to the week before the championships. I was so nervous; I would be told today if I was in or not. I worried the whole week. I hardly got any sleep. I just needed to know. The day came when I was told, and I got in. I felt so proud of...more

So, this years Wimbledon has come and gone for another year but there are many memories that can be remembered, lots of my great ones here for you to read. It all started in December when I was asked to be a ball boy at the Wimbledon Championships in June / July 2001.

Wasn't that amazing or not? Wimbledon is a yearly event, or better it is THE event of the year when it comes to tennis. But 2001 is surely a year not easily forgotten. Definitely not by Goran Ivanisevic and his angel who led him to the title against all odds, neither by all the Henmaniacs on Henman Hill who lived through an agonising three-day semi-final only to see their idol bow out when he was on the verge of making history (for the Brits at least).

This year it has had everything happen you would like too see in a tennis tournement.(Shocks and New talent) I am going to go through each of the rounds best games amd highlights. Round 1 Mens Game Chris Woodruff bt Jan-Michael Gambill (6-4 3-6 6-7 6-3 6-2) One of the big suprises in the first round of the mens game. This was because of the immaculate performance of Gambill in lasts years Wimbledon. He was favoured to probably get through to the fourth round but it did not happen this year. ...
