As I watched the quarterfinals match up between [...]

Wimbledon 2009 is in the books and, it certainly did not disappoint. The tournament had a great blend of the expected, and unexpected which kept me glued to the television day after day.
There was a fortnight full of stories this year, some great matches. There was the epic Serena vs. Dementieva semi-final or the Murray [...]

As the sun sets on week 1 at Wimbledon, it’s time for me to do a little reflecting.  Yes, contrary to popular belief, I do reflect from time to time. A lot has happened in the first half of the tournament, so there’s much to discuss. The first match was played under the newly built [...]
