Tennis season

Tennis season is here! OK, I know it never goes out of season, but I can never be bothered with the Australian Open. And the US Open is an afterthought. No; the next 6 weeks are the good stuff. French Open, a couple of weeks of in-between tournaments, then Wimbledon. These are the tournaments that count.

Anyway, hurray to Tim H, Roger F, Maria S, and anyone Belgian (Justine, Kim, Xavier). Boo to almost anyone American (I just can't bring myself to like those players; no personality and too much gamesmanship) except Andre (too bad about the injury, dude).

Bring on the strawberries and cream! And I will try not to be too disappointed with the poor TV coverage.
