Watch Live Wimbledon Tennis Online

"Dude, I can't wait for the 21st of June. That's when I get to watch live wimbledon tennis online at watchtennisonline.net."
"You know that there is no such thing as Wimbledon tennis, don't you?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That old chestnut. Everyone knows that it is actually, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Championships, and that the Wimbledon comes from the old address. The one the club moved from in 1922. There are way too many Capital letters in the official name. Much easier to say Wimbledon."
"Speaking of which; I know that as I watch live wimbledon tennis online, I am watching a tournament being played on a grass court and that it is the only such court on the tour, but ... what's up with the lawn tennis bit?"
"Ah, finally a chance to use my degree in history."
"Oh, no. What have I done? All I wanted to know was, why, when I watch live wimbledon tennis online, I'm looking at a lawn."
"No, it's all good. Let's start with the basics. A Major Walter Clopton Wingfield is credited with formalizing what had, up until his attentions, been a way to while away a lazy summer's afternoon, on the lawn of the Big House, along with strawberries and champagne. Actually, reports have it that it was quite popular with the Young Crowd. For one thing, it was a way for young men and women to be in each other's company without the eagle eye of the chaperone. And yes, it was considered a seemly way for young, unmarried women to behave in public."
"All very interesting [not] and all, but what does this have to do with why I'm looking at the only grass court on the tour when I watch live wimbledon tennis online at watchtennisonline.net?"
"I was getting to that. It is important that historical data be taken in context. They drilled that into us in History 101. Any way, Major Wingfield, [He was probably a second or possibly even a third son of a minor house. Only made it to Major. Probably had a lot of time on his hands and figured that this was a good way to meet chicks. But, that's just conjecture.], anyway the good Major ..."
"If you don't get to why when I watch live wimbledon tennis online, I'm looking at grass, I swear, I'll ..."
"Ok, all right. You want the truth? What I really believe? Without reference to experts?"
"Yes."
"Okay I think that when you watch live wimbledon tennis online and see the only grass court on the tour, it is because it rains a lot in England, thereby making it extremely convenient, and no doubt, economical, to maintain the court. Concrete and hard courts require far less very expensive maintenance. In England, it rains, and the grass grows."
"You know, that makes a weird kind of sense. I'm going to think about it as I watch live wimbledon tennis online at watchtennisonline.net."
"Thank you. Let me also add, that while you are logged onto the site, I will behoove you to register with them. This will allow you to access and watch upcoming Tennis Matches Online. For purposes of comparative analysis of theory."
"I'll do that."
