Game, Set: We have a match!

Heylo!

I am new to the world of blogging, but I hope that everyone who reads this, will get something out of it.

My name is Hollz and all you need to know about me is that I am female and Scottish - and damn proud. I am so passionate about my sport and that is what I will be blogging about! I am passionate about many sports: football, tennis, snooker, athletics, rugby, badminton, golf...

I support St Mirren, Scotland, Andy Murray and Elena Baltacha. I also like to watch the Arsenal play, John Higgins fix matches and Scotland earn yet another wooden spoon at the six nations. Seriously, the Scottish rugby team must be mean at making cakes by now?

In all seriousness, I would like to write about the sports I love and I hope that I will be able to convey my passions with you: my readers!

There are so many upcomming sports events that I would love to discuss. Today, there is the final of Roland Garros, in what looks to be a fantastic encounter between Soderling and Nadal. After yesterdays surprise winner in the ladies event, can Soderling overturn the odds, against an unstoppable Nadal? I will certainly be watching and waiting, and I hope that you will share the journey with me!

Lets not forget though, that the Tennis does not stop there, we have Queens, we have Wimbledon but lets not get ahead of ourselves, we have the World Cup starting in just 5 days, and I can not wait! Scotland are not going but we will be with everyone playing against 'the auld enemy' and next Saturday is sure to be a fantastic insight as to how god England really are, or if the USA will come out fighting, like they normally do - I can't wait!

In this blog, I hope it will become apparent that I am extremely passionate about sport. With regards to the tennis, I have been supporting Andy Murray since he won the junior title, at the US Open. I know that Andy has what it takes to win a grand slam: make no mistake, Murray will reach the top of his mountain, he isn't Henman who had a measly hill - he can and will do it, either at Wimbledon or the US Open, this year of next, I absolutely guarantee it. Can Murray stop Roddick though at Queens: that is the burning question?

Elena Baltacha is the ladies number one in our country, and will normally get a mention at Wimbledon and other majors when she is playing. Elena is no Jankovic, Ivanovic or Williams sister: Elena is a warrior of her own accord. I think that to be where she is, having endured so many health problems, yet battled and overcome them - is a terrific achievement. Elena may have Lara Robson burning at her heels, but she has done the country proud over the last decade, and comes from a sporting family with both her brother and father professional footballers. I think that she has brought honour in representing the ladies in Britain for so long, and may not be the best Britain has ever seen, personally though I think that despite everything, Elena Baltacha has had a great career and I wish her all the best for Wimbledon (and Andy of course!)

Bring on the tennis tomorrow, and I really do hope that Soderling will be a match for Nadal, as he has dominated the French Open for too long. Thanks for having a look at my blog, I will be reporting on all the important sporting events that matter - and I hope to have you with me all the way. Remember everyone, 5 days...
