Odds are stacked against Rory amid hive of distractions

There is something uniquely British about the tennis at Wimbledon. Where else do you still see players playing in “all whites” and on grass courts to wildly enthusiastically patrons, who nostalgically talk as much in the past as the present, while sipping their Pimm’s and eating their strawberries and cream.

The British do nostalgia brilliantly. They are a great sporting nation and are past masters at presenting great sporting events.
