Tennis and Promotion

In recent times, tennis has taken to promoting itself in a strong way, not only on the tv and in the press, but with the use of leaflets, flyers and business cards.  It’s really amasing what kind of promotional item come through my letterbox for tennis.  Not only that, whilst I was walking arround London last week I got handed a leaflet and some business cards by the same advertiser trying to get me to go to some great offer they had in their store around the corner.  It’s really strange how much of a push tennis is taking recently, you only have to walk down to Wimbledon and you get loads of free gifts and advertising given to you – will it continue – Yes, without doubt

Andy Murray Wimbledon 2008

I just wanted to say how well Andy Murray played against Gasquet on Monday night at Wimbledon, what a fantastic match.  My original prediction was that Murray would go out in the quater finals, however I really hope I’m wrong and that he puts up a great show against Nadal.  If he gets past Nadal who knows what could happen.  Andy would certainly be a great contender to give Federer a run for his money!
