Wimbledon Fashion

Wimbledon is synonymous for many with strawberries and cream. The o­nly time I ever went (as a spectator sadly) I fainted o­n the centre court. This year what has struck me is the difference in court fashion between the men and the women. They all tend towards making the same ungainly grumps and groans, and the standard of play is amazing, but the clothes are something else. The men seem to favour the saggy and baggy look: longer shorts, baggy t-shirt and hat worn back to front. The women appear in skimpy tops, short skirts, bare mid-rifts, designer hair-do's and dangly earings. It makes concentration o­n the game harder for the viewer.

Mind you, I would love to have been able to hit a serve at 116mph.

    So you do understand the argument for burkas then.

    Thank you for that Brendan, but it would affect the speed of the serves, never mind the falling over in the volleys.
