Roger, Rafa and Rudyard Kipling
As well as delivering the best tennis match anyone has ever witnessed (and that’s not up for debate, OK?), these two fellas do poetry too.
Here are Rafa and Rog reciting the famous Kipling peom ‘If’ – and managing to avoid murdering it too.
Is there any end to their talents?
We were so inspired we thought we’d have a go at some tennis-inspired poetry of our own.
And we’re quite pleased with the outcome too.
There was a young man from Mallorca,
Whose forehand was truly a corker
His guns were enormous
His fitness was flawless
His opponents were lambs to the slaughter
Go on, beat that!
