Wimbledon Watch
For the last three years I've posted Wimbledon Watches through the Championship, but this year has fallen victim to the timing of work and non-posting. However, I will note the rather impressive performance that Tabby Tim just put in to beat Mark Philippoussis in four sets. After totally overpowering him for the first two, when he lost the third, it looked like this was going to be yet another Henman Chokes year.
The point at which he was serving for the match at 5-2 in the fourth set and lost his serve for the first time in the match only seemed to reinforce the expectation that it was going to be another one of those years.
But no. The Tabby survives to maul another squeaky mouse. Roll on Wednesday - an unseeded opponant in the Quarter Finals? How can you not bet on Tim?
(To go crashing to an ignominious defeat)

Down our way we prefer to call it a sound thrashing.
