Wimbledon 2011

The strawberries are ripe, the sun is intermittently shining, Venus Williams is sporting a really freaky new tennis outfit, it must be time for Wimbledon!
So who do you like on the mens' side? Rafa? Roger? Nole? Andy Murray? Someone else?

Who's Dressing Rafa Nadal?

Yipes. Is Nike responsible for this atrocity? I guess I can forgive the t-shirt, although it looks uncomfortably tight at the neck, and makes Nadal look like Dennis the Menace. I actually like the color on Rafa, he looks good in hot spicy tones like this. But the shorts? Eek. There's what looks like a windowpane check to them, in yellow, and man, that is UGLY. And then there's the question of the headband and one wristband being a sort of peachy color that might match the stripe of the shirt, when he's not sweating. But the headband goes red, and the stripe goes dark, and nothing matches, once it all gets wet.

One wonders, did Rafa put his foot down and insist on only ONE pink wristband?

We love him, anyway! And we'd love to see him in this:

I'm worried about Roger Federer! Check out this Getty Images photo. Look at the right hand (the raised one) in this picture, taken on July 2, 2008 - does that look like a huge blister or something to you?

I'd sure love to see Federer win Wimbledon again. It's nothing against Rafa Nadal, it's just that I love watching Federer play. Nadal is muscle, Federer is grace.
