Who Does The Future King Want To Watch? Empty Who Does The Future King Want To Watch?

Prince Charles last visited Wimbledon in 1970. He had no interest in watching Connors, Borg, McEnroe, Becker, Agassi or Sampras (I can understand about Sampras Zzzzz...). He had better things to do than watch Goolagong, Evert, Navratalova, Graff and the Williams sisters. Prince Charles didn't even want to watch the last ever British player to hold a Wimbledon singles title Virginia Wade.

But today Prince Charles must have looked at the order of play and thought... mmm Roger Federer that might be worth watching.

He only came for the Fed match, perhaps he knew it would be a quick affair! Wink

He's more a fan of polo, isn't he?
