That really is the question, isn’t it? Serena Williams recently went on record saying that she dislikes tennis and would much rather shop.

It may have taken over two weeks but we have finally witnessed an English victory in the Emirates. Sadly it didn’t come from our cricket side that had a proud recent record before a crazy two hours on the fourth afternoon.
