For those interested in Tennis. Here are some milestones in course of this year’s Wimbledon that, as per tradition, began on the fourth Monday of June. Nadal, world number 2 exited on the first round while Federer on the second, with Simon Barnes writing about his exit in pensive poetry. Novak, No 1 is on course carefully and in doing so he eliminated Reynolds of USA in the closed centre court on Thursday leaving a mark as it is the first time since 1912 that no American men will be playing in the third round in the big W. Among the women, Azarenka and Sherapova together with three other Wemen’s World No1s slipped and skidded out of the tournament on a turf they said was dangerous. It did not end there. 12 other players including Frenchman Wilfred Tsonga withdrew due to casualties. So, what about the guilty grass? Nothing. The new grounds man said he was “hundred percent happy” Fortune may be smiling on Britan after long as Andy Murray (seeded no 2) is still there. If he does not win the men’s crown this year, perhaps he may never will. However, if the Scotsman does win, he will be breaking a jinx of 77 years for Great Britain. So, no half hearted claps or half smiles for him. Full throated partisan support – Indian style. Watch, because the highest seed he’ll now have to overcome on way to meeting Novak in final is Spaniard Almagro at seed 15.
