Wimbledon is Here!
So, Wimbledon is upon us.
I, myself, like playing tennis. Not that I’m any good at it. I have a nasty tendency of standing still and not moving an inch when my tennis partner aims his serve to the furthest possible ‘in’ point away from where I am standing. He wants to know I won’t chase it down. I say it’s because a) he’s helping me and he should serve it where I want him to and b) I want to enjoy the game, which would require me to actually make contact with the ball and hit it back to him, which is highly unlikely to occur if I have to frantically run across the court and desperately flail at the ball wildly with one hand that’s outstretched as far as humanly possible. In the end, I know I am being a brat, but he does give in! But, I have fun and I learn, which is the point. And, I have started to love to watch the game (where once upon a time I thought tennis was about as exciting to watch as students writing exams!)
At this time of year, I mentally nominate celebrities I would like to see on court, who either a) you could see would really put their all into it or b) would really add some humour and extra entertainment!
What about you? Who would you like to see up against the likes of Federer or Nadal?
Jonathan Ross (who would both try and be humourous)?
How about Gordon Ramsay? So serious and intense.
Or Jo Brand? Likely to have an approach similar to mine.
How about the Obamas (what would they be like!)? And would Barack want to get snapped playing something elitist like tennis??
Do let us know!
