Good afternoon and welcome to The Wimble Womble, an ambling ramble of all things Wimbledon 2011.
The intention is that updates to the site come thick and fast and, more often than not, in snippets of information uploaded via mobile when there's a spare minute. However, more in-depth articles will be offered in the evenings when there's time to sit and mull over events.
Look to your right and you'll realise we have a quote of the day, which may be updated more than once a day, depending if someone trumps the existing best quote.
Below that, there is BritWatch. If past years are anything to go by then we might have to ditch the idea within a few days and come up with something else to fill the space, hopefully not.
This morning saw a mad rush over names as the search for something "typically tennis" got underway. The Championship Point, Topspin Rally and New Balls, Please, were all deemed "too boring", A Major Racket implied we'd be doing a lot of shouting and early favourite Swinging In The Rain apparently has weird sexual connotations if you ask some people!
We settled on The Wimble Womble and we're undeniably happy with it. Not least because it paved the way for a multi-copyright infringing logo and banner. So, if you like the site, feel free to tell your friends, but not too many of them, especially if they work for the BBC, The All England Lawn Tennis Club or whoever owns the rights to the Wombles.
We'll be touching upon all the usual topics of interest; winners, losers, Rafa, Roger, trick shots and rain delays. And, of course, whether or not Andy Murray can really, actually, finally, realistically win Wimbledon. One step at a time. His first round match against D Gimeno-Traver is third to get going on Centre Court but, opening the 2011 Wimbledon show court action is Rafa Nadal v Michael Russell at 1pm.
