A Lazy Sunday Watching Tennis & The Greatest (current) British Sportsman

Ah these are the Summer Sundays I remember as a kid with beautiful blue sky and a blazing hot sun as the Wimbledon Final takes place. It's hard to imagine that the football season will be upon us sooner than we could expect (even this week we had Europa league games !!!) and the Ashes hasn't even started. Of course all this hot summer weather means that the stories we read about transfer rumours are generally even harder to accept than normal and I, for one, am just sitting back and enjoying the summer - hope you are all too.
Yesterday saw the start of the Tour de France and today saw the stage win for someone, who I believe, has a reasonable claim to be up there as the current greatest British sportsman. If to be great you have the respect of all your opponents, you have the confidence to win when you're expected to win and the arrogance to predict you will win more - then he fits all those criteria. So well played Mark Cavendish and congratulations on today's stage win and here's hoping you get to Paris this time and win on the Champs D'Elysee.
Oh and for a bit of fun and seeing as the Ashes team for the first test was announced this morning here's an Aussie cartoon showing the history of the little urn.
p.s. Apologies for lack of footie chat (again!) but there's plenty else on offer
