The reason I loved tennis so much in my life. The white outfits. The history and tradition of Centre Court. Borg vs. McEnroe. Connors. Sampras. Navratilova vs. Evert. Graf vs. Seles. Agassi's first grand slam win. Of course, Sharapova.
If you are a tennis professional on the tour then this is the one tournament you want to win. Roger Federer (pictured), the world's #1 player, is the person to beat. If you get a chance to watch him play it's pure artistry. A brilliant and fluid player of the game. All action on ESPN2, The Duece.

Wimbledon is the bomb. I remember growing up watching matches. I loved tennis, but Wimbledon was always the coolest. Summertime, watching the grass get worn away, Johnny Mac, Jimmy Connors… that was the shit.

This morning as Stuart Scott was leading in SportCenter's coverage I wondered, "Did Stuart Scott ever watch Wimbledon as a kid?" Wimbledon is so old school, does anyone on ESPN remember watching back in the day?
