Wimbledon: Noticeboard

So on twitter, this would be where I retweet, prefixing it with “THIS” (or other similar words to that effect):

“She played here with poise and self-belief, not least her serving out the title with a love game. And notice how she celebrated afterwards: there was no scaling of the stands to hug her box, no dramatic drops to the grass. Kvotiva smiled with satisfaction but the message was: “Yeah, that’s about how I thought it’d go.” She’s now a Wimbledon champion and her profile has changed forever. But it sure looks like she’s up for what’s next.”

No tears. No dramaz. Just a grounded manner that is about as easy, baggage-free and clean as her hitting on court. It probably won’t win her many endorsements. But it makes it, in my eyes, the best Grand Slam ingénue win since Maria Sharapova.
