It was all about the right
to voice an opinion for last week's Sunday
Snap and there has been plenty of opinions aired in the last
week! The photograph was of Speaker's Corner in London and I asked
which park it was in and it is
Hyde Park
Since we're right in the
middle of Wimbledon this weekend I thought we would have something
tennis related this week. Last November Great Britain won this trophy
for the tenth time but for the first time since 1936. The team headed
up by Andy Murray became champions by defeating Belgium.
When this competition
originally began in 1900 it was a competition between the US and the
'British Isles'. It was named the International Lawn Tennis
Challenge but it was then renamed after the person who designed
both the tournament and trophy. By 1905 it had expanded to include
Belgium, France and and a combined Australian and New Zealand team
representing Australasia. Over the years it turned into a truly
global event with countries competing throughout the year in a
complicated five level system incorporating 11 world zones and a
premier level of a World Group. The country which wins the overall
title at the end of the year are classed as World Champions. The
original trophy was the simply the silver punch bowl on top but the
plinths have been added over the years to list the winning countries
and players. It currently stands at 1.1m and weighs 105kg. This
week's question is
What is the name of this
trophy?
We were joined last week by
Susan
who has been out voting and spotting the rare summer solstice
Strawberry Moon. Jack
and Noah have been celebrating birthdays and playing Guess Who!
It was time to remember for Cécile
with memories of when her son was born. There was the perfect end to
the day for Anne
when she saw the evening's sunset. In Wales Shaheen
has been making the aubergine and rice dish of Maqluba to raise
awareness of Refugee Week 2016. Kelly
was in the pink this week when she spotted a VW Beetle. Finally Kara
has been following her son's swimming
progress and enjoying BritMums Live at Camden
Lock.

I remember hearing something about this the other day, I'm only guessing, is it the Davis cup? X
ReplyDeleteIs it the Davis Cup? I have no idea what it looks like but I know the name !
ReplyDeleteIt is the Davis cup and what a trophy!! I always used to groan at my partner who constantly watches tennis and football. I've never been a sport lover but this year I've given in, instead of complaining I've watched and actually found that it's quite enjoyable...but not if it goes on for too long, I do have other things to do!
ReplyDeleteI know this one without looking at the other commenters as I went to the Davis Cup in March and watched the Murray brothers playing doubles against Japan! It is the Davis Cup and it was as magnificent in real life as it is on a photo!
ReplyDeleteI know absolutely nothing about tennis, in fact that goes for all sports! Mich x
ReplyDeleteI think this is The Davis Cup. We are loving Wimbledon this year. The boys are enthralled.
ReplyDeleteWow and what a trophy it is, I only know now from the cementers above like Michelle I enjoy watching it but don't know much about it. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is stunning. I have no idea though
ReplyDeleteI think it's the Davis Cup.....but I know very little about tennis!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's the Davis cup x x
ReplyDeleteSince everyone else has said Davis Cup, I'll go with that - but I really have no idea!!
