R. Rihanna Fenty (BAR), surely.
Reasonably grateful for Stupid Sunday this year as it permits me to get shit done.
Our 4R match-ups aren't really that enthralling, only a handful of non-NID matches.

It's funny that non-tennis fans all assume that tennis fans love Wimbledon when in fact we all hate it.

True. I met some friends this past week and they were all like "Oh this must be the best time of the year for you since it's Wimbledon which is the GREATEST tennis tournament in the world..it's the World Cup."
I'm tired of having to explain that AO, RG & the US Open are on equal footing and when it comes to overall slams, AO is the best.

You can't fault many things about how the AO is run, but it sucks for me because of the time zones.
You can fault almost everything about how Wimbledon is run, but it's glorious for me because of the blanket coverage and the fact I get to go. I'm able to see way, way more tennis than at the other Slams and that's what matters the most.

It doesn't help that most players think Wimbly is the best, also.
Now that there's loads of coverage of every slam, and time zones work with my schedule now, AO is obviously the best. Not just because it's the only one that lacks stupid scheduling/inconveniences, it's a true big time worldly event there.

I love all the Slams, but probably Wimbledon the least. It might only be because I'm always tennis-weary after RG, like this year, but it might also be that there are too many aces on the men's side, and on the women's side, players I dislike almost always win it.

I love all the Slams, but probably Wimbledon the least. This. Except I really don't love Wimbledon. I love that a major is occuring, I just wish it was...the opposite of everything it is now. Then it would be fine.

When it comes to how the Slams are run, the USO is much much worse than Wimbledon.

I have to agree...the US Open has become a joke now with the men's finals.
