Ivan Lendl, one of the greats of yesteryears .................once said something very stupid...unsportsmanlike. After mounting numerous unsuccessful bids to win the Wimbledon crown, he made his infamous remark that grass is for cows.
I don't blame him, this is one trophy every player wants to lay his hands on. The real jewel in the crown.
Tomorrow again the god's of tennis will descent upon the centre court...............all set to add a new chapter to their historic rivalry. Roger and Rafal are the two undisputed kings of this lovely game. Roger was humbled on the clay last month ..............losing tamely to the sultan of Paris. But this is his territory, his backyard. Mr. Cool is gunning for his sixth consecutive title to upstage the record of straight five he shares alongside legendary Bjorn Borg.
Rafa has been here twice before, but lost to Roger on both the occasions. Will he be third time lucky?? and shed the tag of one of the greatest champions of all time to have never won a title here. Or is it going to be the master of grass, the undisputed king of the green mat yet again??
Well! I am not going anywhere tomorrow evening ...............can't miss a single ball........TOO MUCH AT STAKE............TOO BIG A SPECTACLE. May the best god win!!
