Rafael Nadal winning Wimbledon didn’t really come as a shock to any of us and yesterday’s final was certainly one of the best in history (well according to office female it was anyway but we suspect her remarks are purely based upon her untold admiration of Nadal’s cut off vest and golden biceps!)

But seriously we know there are always winners and losers in sport, bringing us on to a very valid point. How do you keep cool and emotion free under the glare of the world’s media? When all you want to do is throw your racket on the turf and scream like a girl, kicking things and scratching out your opponents eyes?

We have to give it to world number …

What can we say, the Wimbledon final is nigh, so there was only one thing left to do. And that is roll out secret weapon Bodog babe Jessica, because let’s face it if anyone could put super jaw Roger Federer off his game it would be her!

We’re assuming that Rafael Nadal will be joining him and we reckon he may even don a skimpier vest on to flex those pecs for our Jess, and who could blame him!

Ah look at her ready to shake hands at the net!

What better way to commiserate the dare we say it, inevitable exit of Andy Murray from Wimbledon, than by giving him our fabulous Bodog beauty Jessica to look at.

I mean she’s such a stunner the feisty Scot will have forgotten his troubles and woes of losing out to the Muscles from Mallorca, Rafael Nadal - in a shot.

Anyway forget the match point, Jessica stays on point with coordinating colours, probably to match Mr Murray’s cheeks! Ah we’re in love!

Pride of Scotland Andy Murray´s dream run to the last eight of Wimbledon came to a ruthless end when he ran into Rafael Nadal.

It was men against boys stuff as the Dunblane strokemaker was blown away on Centre Court in straight sets.

Murray is being tipped by patriotic Brits to win a Major one day but the magnitude of the spanking dished out by the muscular Mallorcan clearly demonstrates how far behind he actually is. On that evidence he will never win a Major if he needs to get past a Nadal or a Roger Federer.

One of Murray´s favourite tactics seems to be to exaggerate his celebrations in an attempt to wind up his opponents. It worked a treat against …

The sun is shining down on us for tennis season. Forget the strawberries and cream because we have the freshest, tastiest fruit on offer for Wimbledon.

And if that wasn’t enough we have another delightful Bodog babe to serve it up. Welcome to our Grand slam with Jessica, she dares you to keep your eyes JUST on the ball! But to be honest with you lads who could blame you if they strayed. More tea vicar?!!

So, Andy Murray is safely through to the second round of Wimbledon. But who cares about him? Because the notoriously grumpy Scot has been surpassed in the ‘heroic Brit stakes’ by an unknown 20-year-old from Surrey.

Chris Eaton’s his name, and he’s ranked considerably lower than Murray – 661st in the world, to be precise. He hammered Serbia’s Boris Pasanski in straight sets – and hammered is the right word, for he lashed down 26 aces to batter Pasanski into submission – and now faces Dmitry Tursunov on Thursday. Tursunov is seeded 25th in the tournament but even so, Eaton is pretty confident.

“It should be a pretty good match,” he said. “I’ve watched him on TV so I know what to …

Oh my word there’s no stopping Rafael Nadal, he’s on a mission to dominate at Wimbledon after wiping the floor with Novak Djokovich, 7-6 (8-6) 7-5 in the Artois Final at Queen’s . And all this clean on the back of his French Open win a week ago.

Nadal is keen to rectify his clay-only image with some class grass action. The next match practice he’ll get will be courtesy of Marat Safin on Friday at the Fortis Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club. He said:

"I’m a little bit tired but I think with a few days rest I’m going to be ready for Wimbledon. And if not, it does not matter, because Wimbledon is very important and the motivation …

What a bleeding bunch of kill-joys we are, no sooner has Rafael Nadal scored a blinder by beating the pants off Roger Federer at Roland Garros and bagging his fourth French Open win, that we’re getting the bleeding knives out. Like a bloody bunch of old women prattling on about how he’ll never do the same on grass - nothing like a bit of encouragement! (and a sack of sour grapes.)

Well it’s a good job that the Spaniard has faith in himself because he’s ready to paste Federer at Wimbledon too. He said:

"If I can have a very good result here it is going to be very important for me. It’s going to be very important in the first matches. …

Sunday is the big day for tennis as the French Open kicks off at the Stade De Roland Garros. Of course we Brits will be rooting for Scottish tantrum aficionado Andy Murray, and since other British hopefuls like Katie O’Brien and Alex Bogdanovich crashed in and out of the qualifiers.

Let’s face it we all know that Murray loses his rag more often than not, despite giving more apologies than a wife-beater. Everyone knows that if God made man from mud then that man was Rafael Nadal, the God of Clay who has wiped the floor (pardon the pun) with everyone else for the last three French Open tournaments.

He certainly gets Murray’s vote:

"He’s the only player I’ve seen on the …

Will Andy Murray have something to celebrate later on today? He is facing up to world number two Rafael Nadal at the Hamburg Masters at 5 pm today. This is the third time the duo have had a show-down, 21 year-old Nadal is s*** hot on clay having won the Monte Carlo and Barcelona titles on clay, whilst Murray is known to lose his rag on the red stuff!

Murray said: "It’ll be a good experience for me; he’s obviously playing unbelievable on clay."

But Murray is confident having won games against both Dimitry Tursunov and Gilles Simon this week. He would do well to take advantage of Nadal’s less than 100% form and early losses in Rome last week. Murray said:

 "I …
