Wimbledon Tennis Adventure (end) - Ivanovic vs Sharapova

Posted by natee , Reader : 1033 , 06:46:35 | Category : General Interest

It was completely unexpected, but I found myself mesmerised with the way Anna Ivanovic interacted with her spectators and how much she appeared to enjoy her tennis. Watching Sharapova felt suffocating, like all the joy in our lives were being sucked out, and even the smile at the end didn't help.I woke up at about 5:30AM in my cold, clammy tent. By that time, the rain had managed to soak through th....

Wimbledon Tennis Adventure (3) - The Overnight Queue

Posted by natee , Reader : 4114 , 09:25:57 | Category : General Interest

I walked towards the end of the queue, drenched in the English showers, and as if possessed. It was coming towards 8PM, and in a few minutes I would know exactly where I was in the queue.

Wimbledon Tennis Adventure (2) - Hingis and Rain

Posted by natee , Reader : 860 , 07:30:52 | Category : General Interest

I rubbed my eyes a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, and even after my eyes had turned crimson red I still saw the same vision of Martina Hingis running back and forth on court 13. I was a breath away from the tennis legend, and to my surprise, I didn’t even have to queue.I arrived in Wimbledon at about 3PM, hot and ready to queue up. Already, a short line had began to for....

Well, here I am, again, trying to start a blog on The Nation's website. I did this once under another pseudonym, but the account was deleted along with The Nation's old format blog interface. Fingers crossed, this one won't face the same fate!Recent readers of The Nation most likely won't remember me, but I worked at The Nation's incredibly down to earth editorial for four years before leaving for En....
