Sports Letters: Wombledon '95
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As a confirmed sports fan who has had to endure many hours of complaint regarding my excessive viewing of the World Cup I now find myself forced to voice my disapproval with Wimbledon '94.
The problem lies not with the coverage, which is as professional as always, but with the game itself. It's just too boring] The BBC are doing their best by introducing Sue Barker but unfortunately this is not enough. What Wimbledon needs is glitz and excitement, particularly during periods of rain. Luckily the solution is close at hand as well as being very British in nature: The Wombles.
A cute and cuddly logo, endless merchandising and the perfect theme for a half- time show. In addition, with ball boys dressed as Orinoco and umpires as Uncle Bulgaria, I fully expect the increase in toddler viewing figures to produce a long-term revival in British tennis.
Yours,
