Yes, I Have Been Watching Wimbledon

I love a good upset and this has been the year for them. It's only the third day of the tournament and Nadal has gone, Federer has gone, Sharapova has gone- all of them defeated by nobodies. Perhaps the best match of the day- at least the most entertaining- was Leighton Hewitt's defeat by Dustin Brown- a bruiser put away by a dancer.  In the BBC commentary box John McEnroe was bouncing up and down with excitement at the return of serve and volley.
