Day for the Racquets

Sunday was a dream-come-true for several students and faculty, with visits to iconic London venues Wimbledon in the morning and Wembley in the evening.  (Full disclosure:  we did not actually get inside Wembley Stadium; instead, we went to watch badminton at the adjacent Wembley Arena.)  Between rain delays at Wimbledon, we had seats in Court 1 to watch the No. 2-ranked Novak Djokovic struggle to defeat a scrappy Italian, Fabio Fognini, 6-7 (9-7), 6-2-, 6-2.  Unfortunately, the rain delays forced a postponement of the ladies' matches on Court 1, including the much-anticipated match up between No. 1-ranked Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and Venus Williams.
