Roddick wins his 2d Straight Queen's Club and his third title of the year. Is Roddick ready to break through at Wimby this year?

But, more importantly, other than Lord Stanley's Cup, is this the biggest tropy in all of sport? I mean, my goodness, it's FRIGGIN HUGE!

ahem: trophy... biggest trophy

Does he get to keep that thing?

Where would you put it? You'd have to buy it a house of it's own. Anyway we all know Tiger Tim is going to win Wimbledon this year. Yes, that's Wimbledon, not "Wimby".

What's Wimbledon?

Much as I 'd like to wish the best of luck to Tim Henman, and hope for Agassi to win his 2d Wimbledon before he retires, I'm personally hoping for a real rivalry to develop between Roddick and Federer. The past few years, the men's game has been haunted by a lack of desire of any of these younger guys to stay at no. 1 once they get there (Hewitt, Safin, etc.). Maybe a bona fide 1-on-1 rivalry will get that going. I grew up watching the great succession of rivalries of Borg, Connors, McEnroe, Lendl, Becker, Sampras, Agassi, etc... wish we could see some semblance of that again.

It's where the Wombles live.

Underground, overground, wombling free The wombles of wimbledon common are we Making good use of the things that we find The things that everyday folk leave behind
