Wimbledon 2010

Wimbledon is back for another year, and everyone here in Britain will be following Andy Murray rooting for him to get to the final and to go all the way. The grass court Grand slam always a fiercely contested slam, always seems to have the same winner, Roger Federer. The cool calm man from Switzerland started his defense of the title today. But the six time champion didn’t have it all his way.

The defending champion came through 5-7 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-1) 6-0 in an astonishing opening match on Centre Court. Falla, the world number 60, served for the match at 5-4 in the fourth set, but top seed Federer dug deep. And the six-time champion hit top form in the deciding fifth set as Falla’s fire finally died out.

Today the opening day showed what entertainment there is, and the unpredictablility of the competition. All we can hope for is that the rest of the competition lives up to the entertainment and thrills that we were able to enjoy today in the first match of the competition.
