Plus 13 and damp when driving in.

For many years watching Wimbledon I was never a huge fan of Rafael Nadal.. Very much a fan of the clean living Roger Federer, and when it came to the women, Serena Williams was probably not on my list either.. Both fantastic players and as time marches on watching them play yesterday I was hoping both would win.

Age has caught us all up and both Nadal and Williams still play with such passion and determination. They both have those steely eyes, and yes while Nadal sailed though in his own way, Williams did not, but for over 3 hours she gave her best..

We will probably never see the like of her again, but both matches made fabulous viewing...
