Anybody watching Wimbledon?
It's great, isn't it? All that banter and stories about how the last time it was this bad was 1982, footage of people with umbrellas and ball-boys getting caught in the covers. Brilliant... so much better than watching tennis.

Tennis has never done it for me.
I also cant get my head around how they give out equal prize money.
I live in a Politically Correct World, and I'm all for equality and freedom of opportunity. If Womens Tennis turns out to be a more entertaining game, and worthy of more prize money, by the interest it generates, excellent.
To me, though, it is an inferior product over a shorter game, yet it hides behind the Mens Tennis, and takes the cash. Not the greatest way of advancing the core principles of equality that we strive for!
