Wimbledon Day 7 Photos: Andy Murray Wins, Kate Middleton Watches And Heaven Disobeys Cliff Richards’ Prayers

WIMBLEDON 2011  – Day 7: This one was busy. Andy Murray defeated Frenchman Richard Gasquet without the usual face-shredding tension; Sir Cliff Richard waited  for the roof over Centre Court to get stuck, the Heavens to open and his voice to be called upon; graceless Serena Williams sat on the greens like a tantruming toddler; shrieking Maria Sharapova providing the soundtrack to Wimbledon: The Porn Parody; and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, (Kate Middleton and Prince William, for it is theory) sat in the Royal Box, gracefully.  for added interest you may care to offer a caption for picture 4 – it is suggestive of much…

Rory McIlroy Is Upstage By Eyebrows Man At US Open (Video)

GOLF – an aide to sleep when its on the telly and a way for men who reject fashion to escape their wives and make a show of abandoning political correctness.

The venue will host five days of intense Canoe slalom competition during the games next year, in front of 60,000 spectators who applied for tickets to the Olympic stadium but failed to get them and then ticked any box in the mad belief that spending £200 to watch kayaking was money well spent.

Ryan Giggs Investigates News Of The World Over Phone Hacking Claims: Rhodri Giggs Smells Revenge?

RYAN Giggs is the one-man content factory. Today, Manchester United legend Giggs has, as the BBC reports, begun his phone hacking action against Glenn Mulcaire The News of the World – the paper that, allegedly, set up his brother Rhodri Giggs in a failed drugs sting in 2000, broke the allegation that he’d been shagging his sister-in-law Natasha Giggs and keeps Imogen Thomas on a tight leash, she being another of Giggs’ alleged conquests.

BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds tells us:

“Ryan Giggs is a well-known figure and will have been of major interest to the tabloid newspapers. It was probably only a matter of time before the police got round to him and said, ‘We’ve looked at the evidence, got lots of documents seized by the police, and your name is in there.’ That’s probably what’s happened and now he will go away and seek legal action.”

Royal Ascot 2011 In Photos: Ladies Wear Hats – Horses Favour Jockeys

ASCOT: Day 1 – hats. Royal Ascot is all about the hats. Why the horses don’t wear hats, we can only wonder at. Perhaps they’d eat them. Perhaps they think the jockeys are hats?

Veronicas Voronin wore a box of used tissues on her noggin. Tracy Rose went for the over-starched rara skirt. Anneka Tanaka-Svenska wore the kind of thing children dread sitting behind at a panto. It was huge, long and liable to fall into your lap and knock your box of Revels over.

Andy Murray Wins At Queens: He’s Got More Bottle Than A Litre Of Amyl Nitrate

ANDY Murray has won a tennis match against a Frenchman called Jo-Wilfred Tsonga. Murray held aloft the Queen’s Cup as he celebrated victory in the final of the AEGON Championships at The Queen’s Club, London. And we beheld the cup. It is huge. Massive. Only the strongest can win the tournament because only the strongest can lift the cup. This is a tournament with Small Tournament Syndrome. It knows that Wimbledon is the big one (some say the only one) and this is just a small satellite get together for players warming up.
