Pippa Middleton Takes Wimbledon

It wouldn't be a major event in England if Pippa Middleton didn't make an appearance.

She took to Centre Court at Wimbledon yesterday with her brother James.  You think he looks British?

What other royals or psuedo royals will show this year, especially if Andy Murray makes a deep run?

So Far, So Good For Roddick at Wimbledon

Roddick Wins Title For 12 Years in a Row at Eastbourne

Andy Roddick made his final preparation for Wimbledon a successful one, capturing the title at the Eastbourne tune-up on Saturday with a straight-set win over Italy's Andreas Seppi.

To say 2012 has been a struggle for Roddick is an understatement,  his best previous results were quarterfinal appearances in San Jose and Delray Beach. The American was eliminated in the first round of the French Open and also lost his first match last week at the Queen's Club before taking a wild card entry into this Eastbourne event to get ready for Wimbledon, which starts next week.

A three-time runner-up at the All England Club, Roddick earned his 31st career title and first since last year in Memphis with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Seppi on Saturday. It also gave Roddick at least one title in 12 straight years to match Roger Federer's active streak. He also became the first American to reach the winner's circle in 2012.

"I wanted to keep alive winning one tournament a year for 12 years," said Roddick. "I know three or four people have done that. I need to remind myself of those numbers just to [remember] this is a what did you do last week type sport. So looking back on that, maybe I need to look at those a little bit more and realize that I've done this for a long time pretty well."
