Comment on Wimbledon

Probably the most English of sporting events, on a par only with Henley Regatta. A perfect indicator of the class system which only really exists in England... I also recall sitting behind a cigar-smoking Shane Warne & team-mates at my first ever Wimbledon.

Comment on Wimbledon

It is the most famous tennis tournament in the world to this date. It's broadcast internationally and includes even more English icons at the event (cups of tea, strawberries and cream and of course, tennis).
