I would not blame you if you want to watch the entire match with Spanish commentary

Travel, TV and Breakfast at Wimbledon

As a child, my family typically traveled on or around the July 4th holiday.  Like most vacations, outings and visiting family members factored into our schedule.  However, few outings other than going to church with relatives occur on Sunday mornings.  I was 6 years old at the time and recorded my first specific tennis memory.  My father did (and still does) play tennis. I knew that he liked tennis at age 6.  He and my mother also followed tennis tournaments at this time.  I certainly watched tennis prior to this, but the 1982 Wimbledon final is the first match that I remember to this day.  It was a good match to get me started as a tennis fan.


Jimmy Connors trailed 3-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-6 at this point
