Yes folks it's all over once again. The 'oohs and aahs' have been consigned to the locker room - unless of course you can create your own which is much more fun!!
It was great to watch our new 'protege', Laura Robson, powering her way to victory in the Junior singles. It was most 'un-British' like, similar to Andy Murray's win against Richard Gasquet. Stardom at 14 is not a precursor to future success - so here's hoping the media allow her to develop naturally and not in isloation (there is a lot of other talent out there).
Of course if we are serious about creating British tennis stars, we have got to create facilities throughout the country, including Scotland (that's the place on the top of the weather map). So lets get behind Andy's mum and build a Scottish tennis academy. She has all the credentials to produce future stars - but financial backing is essential.
My last little thought for Wimbledon. Who is the guy in the William Tell hat who always gets pride of place alongside the coaches, mums, dads and girlfriends?
Answers please on a postcard..............
