This years Wimbledon was blessed with some fine weather and unusually hardly any rain. The roof on centre court cost millions to construct but was only used on the one occasion. The lack of rain gave the tournament a strange feel but normal service will probably be resumed next year.
There was no real surprise with the women’s final featuring Venus and Serena although it was not the tight contest everyone expected. There were times during the match that Venus looked completely disinterested. Serena brought matters to a speedy conclusion coming out on top in straight sets.
The men’s final featuring Federer and Roddick did live up to expectations. As five setters go this could not have been closer. Roddick is the powerful server although Fed simply oozes class. These two players were like a couple of heavyweight boxers slugging it out. It was not until the final game that Federer managed to break Roddick and secure the gold trophy.
This triumph allowed Federer to break the Pete Sampras record for grand slam tournament wins. The fact that Fed is still only 27 years old suggests his own record may stand for much longer. The way he is playing this year few would bet against him adding to his tally at the US Open.

That final match between Federer and Roddrick was amazing! Neither were ready to give up! Looking forward to seeing what Fed has to offer in the future.

Street Tennis! Awesome.
The two players involved will not have a problem stopping the traffic.
Great that Fed one however,
Tennis needs to break into the mainstream, rather than just being known for the slams
What do you think of the ranking system?
Fair point. I feel there is slightly too much tennis played at present. It is great following a sport that runs for 11 months of the year. However, I believe the sport would benefit from a shorter season.
