The Anonymous Widower

A Real Marathon

Wimbledon had a match yesterday that had to be halted for the night at 59-59 in the fifth set. It is the longest match ever.

At least these two players have lasted longer than our under-performing players, of whom only Andy Murray lasted until the third day.

We complain about our footballers, but at least youngsters, like James Milner, Connor Wickham, Adam Johnson and many others are coming through the system with promise.  Where are the tennis players in the same age group with a high level of talent? Also, if cricket, golf, rowing,sailing, cycling and many other sports can do it, why can’t tennis, especially, as they have more resources than most?
