A great quote from Neil Stubley  - Head Groundsman designate at Wimbledon.
“We have the perfect grass-growing climate in Britain,” he said. “For us it is a constant battle. You will never ever have a baseline that doesn’t wear out. Grass is a living plant and if you kick it on the head enough, the head will fall off. But it’s all about how long you can keep the head on for.”

Always keep your head - thanks Stubbs.

He should have been around during the French Revolution.

Clay and grass are playing great Mike - my opponents are glad I'm on the court with them. The safest place on the planet right now is to be my opponent - there's little or no chance that I'll get near them with my shot.

Help! I need the swing doctor - LW!
