in love with el capitaine and el toro

the bbc teaser/trailer ad leading to the championships (oh pompousness, thy name is wimbledon!) shows a clip of past wimbledon champions playing an exciting tennis match on centre court, interposing shots of borg, evert, navratilova, connors, mcenroe, serena williams, et al until the last shot is taken by roger, who is frozen in midair, with the lines, "wimbledon: where greatness awaits".

the men's semifinals are set: two top seeds face two unseeded veterans. if my dream final comes to pass, i will be floating in cloud 9 for weeks to come.
