Millions of people all over the world follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially when it comes to the four Grand Slam tournaments which are often referred to as the "majors", these are the Australian Open, Wimbledon, the French Open and the US Open.

When it comes down to the topic of who is the greatest male tennis player ever, the answer is open for debate. Many would argue that Björn Borg or Pete Sampras would win the title however, some would also nominate John McEnroe or Roger Federer. What is clear is the wealth of tennis talent we have to choose from.

When it comes to British Tennis players it always seems to be the same...we almost won. However Andy Murry could change all that. Although it appears he'd sooner be classed as Scottish than British, we all class him as British especially when he's doing well. Murry is currently the highest ranked British tennis player who first found himself included in the top 10 on 16 April 2007. He was placed no4 after reaching the final of the 2008 U.S. Open but lost to Federer.

Wimbledon is the home of British Tennis and the oldest tennis court in the world, it was built in a suburb of London in 1877. It is also the only one of the four Grand Slam venues that is still a grass court. We're very proud of our Wimbledon even though no British male tennis player has won the Grand Slam Singles at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936 and no British lady since Virginia Wade in 1977. Maybe Andy Murry could change all that.

If you love watching tennis or have a favourite player or you may have been to watch one of the many fantastic matches at Wimbledon, we would love to hear from you.
