I think they get their rackets free of charge nowadays as part of advertising the logo on them. Far different to the days when all Wimbledon players were deemed to be 'amateurs'. In those days they had to buy them from the manufactures and to make legal the players amateur status they were charged a penny each for them. Makes one think doesn't it. Furthermore, the players were only paid expenses, which was a laugh, because they were paid on a doubling-up system......One arrived at tournament 'A' and was paid expenses and then proceeded to 'B' where it had been agreed for expenses from 'A' to 'B' and then on to 'C' .However, 'C' would then agree to pay from 'B' to 'C' and onto 'D'. etc etc.
Complicated, but it worked to ensure that a good income was received by 'amateurs.

I also am pleased that Djokovic won. He now is truly the world no.1 although his ranking by reaching the Wimbledon final was such that, had he lost today, he would still have gone into the no.1 position.
Anyway, that apart ,I am concerned about Philtaz who is still double faulting. Something he needs to get on the ball about and get some coaching to put it right.:-)☺☺☺
