Wimbledon Blogs And a Second Life Match

In the lead up to the event, and with what I know about the data we have, I decided to take on a mini proof of concept to bring Wimbledon to Second Life.

The first point is that this is a proof of concept. The build is designed to show the various ideas rather than be a 1:1 representation of the actual place. That’s very possible, but would take more days to build.
Secondly, lots of people could attend, the shots show only one avatar.

I went to Wimbledon last year and to the Roland Garros the year before and I had the feeling that you are more supported and appreciated by the people in London than in Paris. Considering how hard Wimbledon is for you, I think this is a plus to help you winning the tournament, hopefully this year. Do you agree?

Rafa: Many thanks. I feel support at both places and I love being here. You might be right that here the crowds tend to support me a lot. I am very grateful for that.

I’m really happy that I’ve now got a chance to make it to the fourth round of Wimbledon.

It was another tough one against Pauline Parmentier in the second round but I found a way to win without playing my best.

That’s important in grand slams because you can’t always play fantastic tennis but you have to find a way to get through.

It's also a busy day for Jamie Murray, who has had his hair cut short so looks less like a latterday member of the Hair Bear Bunch than he used to. He's got two doubles matches today - the men's first with Max Mirnyi, then the mixed with Liezel Huber. With only one other match scheduled to be played between those two, Jamie will have little time to cool down after the first before he has to start warming up again for the second.
Maybe he'll just stay warmed up for the duration by jogging non-stop around the grounds for the hour or so between his contests, or if the timings are right he might even get to see a little bit of his brother Andy's match against Richard Gasquet on Centre Court.

Anyway, feel free to email a comment if you have any inside information as to the 'missing Federer'. We can solve this mystery together. Just like the Scooby Doo gang. But without that annoying Scrappy bloke. You can see why they made him the baddie in the first movie, can't you? Oh. Sorry. You haven't seen it yet? I digress.
