"Grand Slam titles don't come by very often"

A love match made in heaven?

ANDREW'S WIMBLEDON


Match of the tournament - The Men's final. Though if you discount the final, the other one that was quite magnificent was Gasquet defeating Roddick in five - he played stuff at times that was up there with Federer and Nadal.

Biggest disappointment - Tim Henman losing to Lopez. I thought he might have got a run to the second week, and that would have been lovely to see.

Heroes and villains - Nadal the hero, and Serena Williams the villain. Let's leave at that.

Moments that made me smile - Virginia Wade having a very faraway look on her face as Roger Federer entered the Champions Ball. He did look like a million bucks.

Best British performance - That has to be Jamie (Murray), because mixed doubles or not, Grand Slam titles don't come by very often. Henman beating Moya a close second.

Best new faces - I don't know if you'd count Djokovic as a new face but he's going to be a bloody handful for anybody, he's got it all.

'Lump in the throat' moment - After doing an interview for us on court, Bjorn Borg walked the length of the court to the Royal Box and got a standing ovation.

Andrew's personal highlight - Djokovic against Baghdatis in the quarter-final was the highest example of sportsmanship you could hope to see. Everything on the line, a close contest and a proper handshake at the end of it. Players walking off court without each other is something I really don't like, and I like to see some respect at the end.
