The Championships are coming!!


CANT WAIT for Wimbledon to start. Anxiously waking up each day, anticipating the grass court action. Counting the hours to June 26. Aagh. My passion for the sport and my fanatic support for Madam Henin-Hardenne drives me to this. The closer to the actual event the days inch by the more excited I get. I might have to cut school just to watch it live. (The quality of taped games are NEVER acceptable). I need my dose of tennis now.

Wimbly here we goooe...
