The Olympics at Wimbledon... coming soon!

This week there are three tournaments in Baku (WTA), Los Angeles (ATP) and Kitzbuhel (ATP); however the main focus is on the impending Olympics, which begin this Saturday.  Wimbledon is already shaping up with many of the top players already in London.  The 64-player draw (one less round than the Grand Slams) will be completed at 11am on Thursday.  I will be previewing both draws at the end of this week and following all the action throughout the tournament.  I will be going several times during the week so I will publish my reports and photos so make sure you stay tuned to my blog :-))
