The weird and wonderful life of sport

Day seven of the Wimbledon Championships was a very unlucky one for Serena Williams – and the persons responsible was Sabine Lisicki.

On the gentlemen’s side, Golden Oldie Tommy Haas was beaten by world number one Novak Djokovic. We did some research on the oldest Wimbledon champions and came up with the following top-ten list.

Team Orice-GreenEdge’s Simon Gerrans won the third stage of the Tour de France yesterday, thanks to South African Daryl Impey. For interesting facts about today’s fourth stag, click here.

When you think things can’t get any weirder, someone like Zoe Romano, a Spanish tutor from Virginia, says she will be tackling the Tour de France route on foot to raise money for the World Pediatric Project. Follow her progress on Facebook.

In local news – well, sort of – the Gary Player Invitational takes to the Wentworth Golf Club outside London later this month in celebration of The Player Foundation’s 30th anniversary.

High five,
Ed
