He should have gone to Tennis Head...

At Blog Angels & Urchins, we feel a little bit sorry for the redoubtable Mrs Judy Murray. Spending all that time courtside with her heart in her mouth, not to mention being constantly flicked by the girlfriend’s mane of hair. We salute you, Mrs M, and wish your slightly grumpy son well (though we can forgive him after Monday night’s epic, not to mention today’s three-set scorcher). Wouldn’t it be great to have tennis more readily available to give everyone the chance to become a future champ? Tennis for Free is a campaign to make publically managed courts free to use. It’s supported by such lawn luminaries as Pat Cash and Greg Rusedski, and you can log on to find your nearest free court. Nestle Go Free! vouchers can be exchanged for free lessons supported by the LTA. And finally, no point in lobbing balls at them if their racket is too big or small. There’s a handy guide to buying the right racket at Tennis Head. Now we’re off to make a jug of Pimm’s, dig out the Union Jack, and fashion a fetching hat accessorised with tennis balls.
