August 2023 Guitar Newsletter: Wimbledon Tennis and Guitar Playing: Lessons From British Traditions

What a thrill it was to watch Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in this year’s men’s Wimbledon tennis final!  The game reunited me with the sport of my teens, and I found myself pondering why this match was so impressive and meaningful.  It took place in England, home turf to top-notch guitarists, such as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Jeff Beck.  This historic match caused me to consider connections between tennis, the splendor of pairing together great talent and the need for sportsmanship in both circles.
