Of Green Grasses and Tennis Lasses

Its the home of the most touching of rags to riches stories, most enthralling upsets,overnight stardom, path to Tennis greatness and its called -Wimbledon, and its here!

The season is on again. Official films, Off court interviews, and Historical matches are once again on top of my priorities when I switch on the TV, and being as vellah as I am, I do it very often.



Here are the tennis players I've admired the most over the years:

Men:

1. Goran Ivanisevic
2. Gustavo Kuerten
3. Guillermo Coria
4. Rafael Nadal

Women:

1. Justine Henin Hardenne
2. Martina Navratilova
3. Martina Hingis
4. Gabriela Sabatini
5. Gigi Fernandez
6. Jana Novotna
7. Ana Ivanovic
8. Nathalie Dechy

Obviously,the lists are biased because of my personal tendencies to favour the underdogs,dark horses,so-close-yet-so-far stories,and last but not the least, on the women's looks.


This year also ,even though Nadal is out,I'll be supporting a bunch of young players that I reckon will do well:

• Sorana Cirstea(up against Mirza)
• Agnieszka Radwanska
  
• Juan Martin Del Potro

(Out of Context,but still notable- Wimbledon ,starring Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany, is the best sports based movie I've seen.)
