Wombledon

Yes - its that time of year again.

Even though you cannot differentiate between a tennis racket and the backend of a shovel, Wimbledon will be the hot topic for the next two weeks (might even knock ministerial expenses off it's perch)

One dead certainty is that we wont see a drop of rain. That's because the Centre Court has a sliding roof to keep out the weather - sods law will dictate that we have a fortnight of unbroken sunshine.

The other 'certainty', according to the tabloids, is that a certain Andrew Murray will be holding the championship trophy aloft in a couple of weeks time.

Now if they were to move Wimbledon from SW19 to EH25 then Andy would walk it. (the media razzmatazz would never venture north of Hadrian's Wall)

Or - if AM was able to hide in his grandmother's loft between now and the final - with the odd appearance on court - then I'm sure he would be dancing with Serena (my tip for the ladies) at the Championship ball.

One final 'or' - this is a bit more technical - if he were to maintain a 1st service success rate of over 70 per cent, then I reckon he would be the champion.

However, my prediction is that an unseeded player will have a 'stormer' against him and exit Andy round 3 or 4. Just hope I'm proved wrong.

One thing certain, he will entertain - and that's what Wimbledon is all about.
