Who say tennis and poetry don't go together?
Wimbledon will have its own poet this year after the All England Club hired British comedian and poet Matt Harvey as their "Championships Poet." Harvey will be sitting down and writing one poem a day and it will be on the tournament's website.
There will also be a podcast of the poem online.
“It’s an honor,” Harvey said. “And I’m acutely conscious it’s the only time I’ll come first in anything at Wimbledon, unless you count the queue for strawberries.”
I don't know whether to laugh or cry for this historic moment.
