The Spirit of Wimbledon 2012


The 126th Edition of the All-England Championships at Wimbledon has started!

It's the world's premier tennis tournament. And it has showcased some of history's greatest matches by the sport's greatest players . . .

We will likely see more memorable contests and perhaps even a match or two to rank with those of the ages . . .

Bill Tilden, Don Budge, Fred Perry, Pancho Gonzales, Rod Laver, Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, John Isner-Nicholas Mahut . . . 


Suzanne Lenglen, Helen Wills Moody, Margaret Court, Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Steffi Graf, Serena and Venus Willams, Maria Sharapova . . .

Wimbledon means the best tennis of yesterday and today . . .

And the Spirit of Wimbledon means elegance, class and courage -  whether in victory or defeat.

Best,
Gary
