Jimmy Connors on the atmosphere at the All England Club: "New Yorkers love it at the US Open when you spill your guts at the US Open. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clear it up."
Pat Cash on the British weather: "What would I do to improve Wimbledon? How about moving it to the summer?"

I will be shouting for Miss Sabine Lisicki, she is such a gorgeous person, she deserves to win it for being so awesome.

I will be not watching any of it and praying that long streak of Scotish misery Murray gets thumped.
I'll be supporting Andy Murray naturally 🙂. But in his current form I'll be fairly surprised if he gets past the quarter finals.
The women's game has suddenly become more exciting and competitive. Madison Keys and Eugenie Bouchard are just two of the up-and-coming stars. Lisicki has a lovely smile and big personality and it was a great achievement for her to reach last year's final.
Heather Watson is playing in the ladies' singles, and reached the semis at Eastbourne last week. When and if she and the four other British girls have all been knocked out I may switch allegiance to Bouchard due to my family connection with Canada.

I don't really have the impression that she'd be interested in that, but keep dreaming 😉

ouch! are you a psychologist, have I just been psychoanalyzed and my subconscious is spilling out all over the forum floor, i feel violated!
Miss Lisicki would sup southern comfort and lemonade, I a malt whisky, she would wear long lace dresses and I would be a river boat gambler, I would duel for her honour and when I get wounded she would lovingly tend to my wounds and nurse me back to health and fall in love with me. I would write poetry and verse to keep her happy. We would be awesome.
she would take me to her daddys house and introduce me. He would reject me because hes a doctor and I am a peasant farmer poet. He would lock Miss Lisicki up in her room and she would cry all night, refuse to eat and prove most forlorn. I would hire a raven with payment of corn on the cob to fly in poems to keep her spirits up. Her hair would grow so long that I would climb up and rescue her and whisk her away to be married by the light of the silvery moon.
