It is interesting that the media, especially sports journalists, have missed the growing call for reforms in the way Wimbledon is held. The tournament is losing its sheen with an increasing number of injury-prone top players, which is in turn disappointing thousands of fans so eager to watch good and proper tennis. Sunday’s men’s final could hardly be called a good match. Data show that the problem is more on the men’s side, according to a recent article in TheNew York Times. Perhaps the calendar for Wimbledon needs to be changed so that players are fresh and ready to show their best playing skills at the world’s premier tennis event.
