Hee, lookit, I got quoted!! :D

From the "As it happens" Wimbledon live text coverage on the BBC website today, covering the Williams/Kvitova semi final.

Serena 7-6 4-2 Kvitova *
Question Tweeted over by@zedlowe: "What's the craic with serena's shoes? 02 07 09 in little patterns on heel....wise man you are, please find out." I was going to say the dates of her Wimbledon titles, but there's no '03 and shouldn't be an '07. I'll get Cheese on it.

1653: Nice shout from @krisevans on Twitter: "02 07 09 date of last wimbers title win for serena."

1659: The intrigue continues - from @VelvetJones: "In answer to the 02 07 09.. my guess is it's the date Serena won last year's Ladies Semi Final then went on to win Wimbledon." You'd mark a semi-final win on your shoes ahead of three Venus Rosewater dishes?

1712: Hold on - this from @Mitchyuk: "lucky semi-final date for today, maybe lucky final dates on shoes for Saturday?"

*BEAMS* Be interesting now to see if I'm right :D
Mood:: 'amused' amused

Heh... I stopped watching Wimbledon after Mahut/Isner. Everything else just seemed anticlimactic. ;-)

Dunno, Fed and Roddick getting knocked out was pretty momentous :)

The only spanner I can find to throw in the works is this: She's American, so wouldn't that date mean the 7th of February 2009? Although, of course, she's in the UK, so may be going by the "When In Rome" rule ;)

Edit: Of course, I meant to say.... EEeeEEEE!! Your name in lights, with genuine tennis-geek knowledge! ...and then throw in the whole spanner thing :P

Yeh, 'cept there's no event of that date that anyone knows of that would make sense. Plus, she's quite keen on the when in Rome thing - her tennis outfit this year, she's said, was inspired by strawberries and cream :)

Plus 2nd July 2009 is actually the right date for her semi-final :)
