Tennis

I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my fix of Wimbledon this year! Although our home players didn't get through to the final stages - the matches this weekend have been fantastic - today's men's competition was edge of the seat stuff and the ladies final (or the Williams' show!) was, as always, entertaining.



For me though, it was brilliant that players like Chris Eaton, up and coming men's player, came seemingly out of the blue to give an incredible performance and of course Laura Robson won the Girls' Singles title final at just 14. A quick glimpse through the Sunday paper headlines - shows that it seems she grabbed more space than the Williams' girls match! If either are our next hope for a champion let's hope the media get behind them and stay there - not only do they have to work their way to the top and compete with the best but they have to win the hearts of the journalists as well -we have a knack of supporting our sports stars when things are going well but also of retracting that support when they hit a rough patch. In sport, as in business, there are peaks and troughs of performance and it's in the tougher times that we really need to feel people are behind us.

I for one, look forward with more than hopeful anticipation for future grand-slams.

Have a great week!
