Try some new balls with our Wimbledon fantasy bingo card
We're sure some online bingo fans are sick of hearing about the World Cup, so we think it's about time that Wimbledon 2010, the summer's other big sporting event, got some coverage.
It's shaping up to be an interesting tournament this year, largely due to world number one Roger Federer's exit from the French Open. The French Open is traditionally seen as a decent indicator of who's in form heading to SW19, so Federer's quarter-final loss to Robin Soderling will give some hope to the other players.
Rafael Nadal, current world number two, will certainly be keeping an eye on the form of the Swiss world number one, and look to prise his title away. With Bucky, everyone can be a winner this season with our great summer promotions. And with our fantasy bingo card below, you can add some special relevance to all the numbers called!
New balls, please
77 - The first Wimbledon championships to be held at the All-England Club took place in 1877. It was won by Englishman Spencer Gore.
36 - The last British male champion at Wimbledon was Fred Perry, who took the title in 1936. Since that time, there have been three British female winners: Virginia Wade, Ann Haydon Jones, Angela Mortimer and Dorothy Round.
23 - Incredibly, before his loss this week, Roger Federer managed to get to 23 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals and finals without defeat.
4 - Britain's biggest hope Andy Murray is currently ranked fourth in the World ATP rankings and the entire nation will be holding its breath for a win this year.
7 - Pete Sampras and William Renshaw each hold seven men's championships, but Federer is catching up with six. In ladies' competition, Martina Navratilova holds the record with nine.
