Hnuergh!

Originally published 30 June 2010

Did players make those noises when I was I child? I don’t honestly remember, but that’s a mainly because I was usually upstairs in my bedroom for the entire duration of Wimbledon fortnight. My mum was addicted to Wimbledon, and would spend the entire two week period closeted in a darkened front room, avidly watching the tennis. Every now and then I would hear a scream and come running down the starers to find out what was wrong - it usually meant Jimmy Connors had lost an easy point or Virginia Wade had tripped over or something like that.
