THE words Wimbledon and wet are all to often used in sentences about the best tennis tournament in the world.

This year's tournament, although slightly overshadowed by the World Cup, has been exciting with the 1998 sporting underdog disease roaming around the All-England club.

I've discovered a very impressive site dedicated to Wimbledon giving you a comprehensive run-down on all there is to know.

From seeds to rankings and a list of how the successful players have reached the later rounds are all there for you to view.

A history of the tournament, player profiles and pictures of your favourite stars offer a splendid side attraction to the interesting, but long-winded, facts and figures.

So if you're sick of getting wet or struggling to find time to watch Wimbledon instead of the World Cup, check this excellent Internet page out!
