On to the Grass Courts!

The clay court season is in the past, and in the blink of an eye let's hit the grass court circuit.  A hand full of Wimbledon warm-up events are taking place as players chase their Wimbledon dreams....one major result, Rafael Nadal is already back to his winning ways, picking up an impressive 2&2 win over Jonas Bjorkman at the Stella Artois; the Spaniard apparently can't be stopped on grass either [Wimbledon won't be easy for Rafa, more to come on that].
