Wimbledon Qualifications, Mallorca, Germany, Eastbourne

 

To quote Peter from the last thread “the Shadow of Wimbledon looms.”  Sounds like a line from Hitchcock movie (dun dun dun dun) and sounded so dramatic but oh so appropriate.  No wordy intro this week folks but you do have a working thread…….Enjoy the continued run up to Wimbledon - my favorite Slam.  This is a bit slapped together - hey if you think I would cut my jaunts to Napa Valley and Yountville (what a name) to perfect a blog  - well no……typing on the IPad in the back seat of the car is just……

(PS - send me any corrections I will try and get to them ASAP…..)
