It is such a heart stopping moment for me while watching Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal because these two men are my favorite!

Unfortunately, my prayers were not answered as Nadal defeated Roger Federer to deny

Wimbledon organizers have agreed to not shoot any more pigeons around the All England Club.
Apparently shooting pests, such as the flying rats, bothers animal-rights groups, even when the vermin are a health risk to humans.
