Boris Becker

Advantages Fantastic games, Henmania, excuse to eat excessive amounts of Strawberries & Cream
Disadvantages Henman never wins, tickets are hard to come by, rain

...the game you want (or if you have Sky choose the game) and you get fantastic commentators such as Boris Becker, John McEnroe and Virginia Wade helping you through the game with many insightful, some trivial and a few hilarious comments! This Year Sadly the weather for the first week isn’t looking great. Today should just be cloudy but we can expect showers and therefore play being disrupted on Tuesday and Wednesday before hopefully better days on Thursday and Friday. Now for the players. Can Tim actually win this year? Certainly he has been playing much better winning the Paris Masters and reaching the French Open semi-finals just recently. However his dismal performance at Queen’s against an unknown shook my confidence! I would say he has an outside chance – he is playing well this year and Wimbledon is where he always performs best...

Advantages Loads of fun and wacky
Disadvantages Too many Madonna's!

...‘Hey’, said Sam. ‘Simon, stop pulling my Crucifix!’ Simon and Kate were going to their Friend’ s party, which was 80’s night, and people who went had to dress up as celebrity couples which included everyone, Sting and Cher, and Kate Bush with Princess Di. Simon and Sam went as Margaret Thatcher and Madonna. From the moment they walked in, Sam complained about a couple that were Madonna and Sandra Bernhard. ‘They are staring at me!’ she exclaimed. Their friend, named Paris (who dressed as Boris Becker!), lived on the top floor of an apartment top in London. He was very rich. He had even a little garden outside his flat, and a swimming pool! ‘Hi!’ said Boris. ‘Who are you, Madonna and Maggie Thatcher?’ ‘Uh- Uh!’ said Simon. ‘Who are you... Read review

Advantages great to watch and play
Disadvantages no British winners

...It must have been about 1995 when I started to watch tennis, then Steffi Graff, Boris Becker and the emerging Pete Sampras were on the scene. To be honest I was not a great follower but every year I watched Wimbledon. Now 20001 I can’t stop watching the game, I wouldn’t say I am a great fan but I do keep an eye on things, of course I want Tim Henman to do well but in reality he will always come close but not close enough. So I suppose Pete Sampras in the men’s game is my favourite, I really think it’s an honour to have seen him win so many tournaments, breaking records on the way. When he retires I can say I used to watch this great player play. In the women’s game Martina Hingis is my favourite followed by the Williams Sister. Hingus has achieved so much at a tender age, she is the same age as myself... Read review
