So, we went off to see the Centre Court Celebration today, which was great fun. Can't say I care too much about the ceremonial closing of a roof (really, how interesting is it possible to make it?), and the 'entertainment' (Katherine Jenkins, Blake and Faryl Smith) could definitely be used on me were I to be incarcerated in Guantanamo (ok, maybe an old reference), BUT getting to see the tennis we did was definitely worth it.
Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are my favourite players of all time and it was such a joy to see them play on Centre Court. I'd seen Agassi once before, against Becker, which he lost, so it was great to see him winning the match against Henman. The biggest pleasure of the day for me though was seeing Steffi Graf play as beautifully as ever and prove why she is probably the best female player there's ever been. Would love it if she was serious about taking a wildcard for Wimbledon - it was so much more enjoyable watching her and Clijsters than say, an Ivanovic/Jankovic match. And seeing Andre and Steffi so happy together was just an added bonus.
