I read on the ITF site that Angela Buxton has passed away. She was of course a Wimbledon Finalist, in the 50's, as well as winning doubles at Wimbledon and the French.

Here is a challenge that has been set by Marcus Willis on Twitter this morning. You might like to try it. His challenge is simply, NAME THE 15. No cheating by looking up Yaz Clarke's answer sheet on Twitter. I am ashamed to admit, I got 1 and guessed 1. But that was all.

I was having a think about this. Currently, I had planned a vote covering June and July and a separate one covering August.
