by

When Andy Murray won the Men's Singles at Wimbledon there was great excitement, particularly among the British press. Every half an hour the BBC broadcast, and other media outlets around the world repeated, that this was the first British victory at Wimbledon in 77 years. While it is true that no British man had won the Gentlemen's Singles Championship since Fred Perry in 1936, this drought of British ascendency did not extend to the Ladies Tournament. Four British women won the title during those 77 years. This means that, as far as the press were concerned, women champion just don't count - their wins were not British victories at Wimbledon. What does this say about equality in the UK?

by
Karen Samartha Walker
The year 2012 proved to be sensational for men's tennis as it featured four separate grand slam winners. The year however proved less rewarding for Novak Djokovic whose performance over the season was over shadowed by his own historic achievements the preceding year when he won three major titles. At the onset of 2012, tennis pundits had predicted further accomplishment from the world number one and the enthusiastic forecast seemed true as he started 2012 with a stupendous win at the Australian Open when he defeated Rafael Nadal in a thrilling five set encounter in a...

by
Dave Regis
The first week of Wimbledon has delivered us sunshine, dreams of British success, shock defeats and a few more injuries than expected. The sunshine descended on SW19 for an almost glorious week of weather, which for many could be seen as rather surprising. The roof on centre court was only required but a few times, with players and spectators alike being able to bask in the glorious British sunshine.

by
Karen Samartha Walker
Several times former tennis star have experienced resurgence in their career to hog the limelight once again to the wonder of those who love the sport. Former World No.1 Kim Clijsters is one among those who has defied all belief to achieve some rare distinction. The 29-year-old Belgian came back from an early retirement to win an astonishing 3 Grand Slams after her return to the sport of her choice. Compatriot Justine Henin was another who did come back from retirement. Though the 7-time Slam Champion did not win any Slam on her return and had to retire again after injuring herself, she did reach the finals of the 2010 Australian Open which was a feat in itself.

Roger Federer in the Twilight of His Career
by
Karen Samartha Walker
Roger Federer turns 32 in 2013 and despite all the blood and sweat he endures to remain fit, age is certainly going to catch up with him reminding every single day that the time to hang up the racquet is near. Another thing is the little injuries that once could have been shaken off within a couple of days would now take much longer to heal, thereby lengthening the scope of his mental agony more than of the physical one.
