Wimbledon: a forum for history


During the 2011 Women's Semi-Finals at Wimbledon I went with my good friend Jonathan Scott-Lee. That was an epic day and one which I will never forget. Today I had the honour of watching the Men's finals on a live-stream feed with my friend Annalise. It was great fun and we witnessed several historic happenings in the world of tennis. Firstly, Murray became the first Brit in 74 years (since Fred Perry) to make it to the final match. Secondly, Federer tied Pete Sampras' seven Wimbledon Championship record. Thirdly, this win put Federer back at Number One in the world rankings, which means he will surpass the record career weeks at Number One Sampras held.
