The Wimbledon coverage will begin once again later in June. This is my favorite of the Grand Slam tennis tournaments since the courts are made of 100% rye grass. This makes the running game much slower and I think it makes the athletes work harder.

The Wimbledon follows the Australian Open, then the French Open but it’s before the U.S. Open. The funny thing about this British tournament is the irony it has to the Brits. No English man has won a single’s event since Fred Perry did in 1936 and no English woman has since 1977 when Virginia Wade won.

I love this time of year when all of the tennis tournaments are coming up and we really get to see who is the best since all four events use a different kind of court. And though I like the clay used in the French Open, I think that Wimbledon will always be my favorite.
