I normally only get hooked on the U.S. Open when it comes to professional tennis. However, this year I’ve found myself following the likes of Federer (unfortunately kicked out near the top) and Nadal at Wimbledon. Yes, there are American players in the running, but as you can see one can be a big fan regardless of a person’s country of origin.

It’s all very proper in England (that’s a compliment). With “ladies” and “gentlemen” playing, and a typically restrained crowd (although it’s getting rowdier as the end approaches), it’s very different than the U.S. Open (I believe coming in August).

That said, this morning a friend of mine sent me an amusing tennis video. It’s sort of on the lengthy side (at 8 minutes or so), but you need to get a big deeper into it to appreciate the “antics” this would-be professional tennis player demonstrates. He has the crowd in stitches most of the time. Enjoy!
