2 days to go
So it will be Philippoussis versus Federer in the men's final. As the number 4 seed the Swiss Federer is the obvious favourite - but unseeded Greek Aussie Philippousis has shown some real grit in getting to the final and I will be hoping he can pull it off. The Castlemaine and Mousaka are chilling in the fridge.
Tennis legends and failed commentators Boris Becker and Pat Cash have hit the nail right on the head and identified the key problem for tennis today. The rackets are too big. I mean some of those little 16 year old girls can hardly pick them up - and the backdraft as they cut through the air is playing havoc with the hairstyles. Just ask Andre Agassi.
I have to admit I haven't seen any Federer games this year (if ever), and if he passed me in the street in a Wimbledon T-shirt with his giant tennis racket and Toblerone, I don't think I'd recognise him. How did he get to the final so surreptitiously?
Good news for the comedy duo in tomorrow's final. Even if Wimbledon continues to discriminate against the women, an altruistic brazier manufacturer has come to the rescue and will make up the difference between the mens and womens top prizes. It's good to see a company which recognises women for their sporting abilities and not just their looks. And supporting tennis more widely too with their sponsorship of "top player" Anna Kournikova.
And the name of this admirable company? It's Shock Absorbers. Sounds like one hell of a bra.
