I’m sorry that Andy Murray got knocked out at Wimbledon today (Friday, 7th July) and I am sure there are thousands of tennis fans who will be crying bucketfuls of tears as the British two-times champion at this London suburb an tennis court bows out half-way through the competition.
Mind you he sometimes seems to be British when he is doing well but was designated Scottish when he lost.
The point is those fans will soon forget their tears as they pick another white-clad player to receive their adoration (until that one also loses).
They don’t even have to be at Wimbledon to watch their idols.
BBC have wall-to-wall coverage not just on BBC1 but also on BBC2.
Even Bargain Hunt fell foul of the tennis fanatics (yes, that is where the word fan came from) on Wednesday.
I don’t mind that they put tennis on all day on BBC2 and wouldn’t mind if they showed matches with some of the stars of the tennis world on BBC1 – but not both channels at the same time.
In fact why can’s they use the channels BBC3 and BBC4 for their daytime live coverage, there is nothing on those channels during the day.
Don’t think I am anti-tennis – in my teens I used to play and a regular opponent was a young lady I was “walking out with”.
Like all things tennis should be offered in moderation.
The same thing applies to all sports.
