Where to Watch the 2011 Championships at Wimbledon
Break out your silly hats and a Pimm's cup; it's time to jump the pond for the classic grass court bonanza, Wimbledon.
It is a hard time to come up in men's tennis. Between Fed, aging but far from finished, Nadal, just peaking and finding a new rival, and Djokovic who is filling that role, there really isn't any more room at the top. Players like Tsonga, Soderling, Roddick, and Del Potro have all been close, but failed to crack the upper echelon. The man who is constantly on the bubble is the Andy Murray. We can speculate all day about why that is (and we do) but despite his temper, his coachlessness, and his attitude, his lack of a Grand Slam title is confusing and distressing. He comes into the Queen's tournament hoping to be the first UKer to bring it home (literally) since Fred Perry.
On the women's side, things just the opposite. There is plenty of room at the top, which not only makes for an interesting draw, but it makes for an interesting run to the final. Li Na won China's first women's Grand Slam title, which brought her up to a four seed. Clijsters is sliding, but still in the top ten. In all honestly, I could name at least 20 ladies who have a legitimate shot to take home the Venus Rosewater Dish. Yeah, that's what they call the trophy.
