It is no secret that Britain has a huge legacy and a very rich tradition pertaining to the world of sports. The people of Britain, in general, are sports enthusiasts to the core and are known to be very particular about preserving the heritage of their rich sports culture. Unsurprisingly, tennis is a sport liked by most Britons. The Wimbledon championships played in London is considered by many to be the most prestigious of all the 4 grand slams.

Wimbledon sure stands as a testament to the passion and admiration the British people have for tennis. However, there are also a considerable number of Britons who aren’t particularly in love with the sport. Keeping this in mind, a British blogger has found a unique way to make SW19 enjoyable to people from the other side of the spectrum.

Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, with its first edition being played way back in 1877. It is a tennis professional’s dream to lift the coveted trophy at the All England Club one day. The tournament is definitely the pinnacle of tennis culture in Britain. But there are still many Britons who are least interested in the proceedings of the two-week-long event.

As reported by Daily Star, Cameron The Cocktail Coach, a popular British blogger has come up with a £1.99 drinking contest for people who are largely ignorant of the sport to help them enjoy every moment of the live telecast of the tournament. And it is working wonders!

Cameron has introduced a whole new bunch of British audience to the game of tennis with his Wimbledon booze game consisting of hilariously interesting rules. The competitors are required to either take a sip, a shot, or down the whole drink depending on whether a British flag is seen in the crowd, a ball kid gets hit by a wayward tennis ball, or the names of certain stars are mentioned by the commentators amongst a host of other intriguing situations.

Perhaps, the love for alcohol bridges the gap between these Britons and the world of tennis – with many tennis superstars making their love known for various luxury alcoholic drinks in the past.

Giants from the world of tennis haven’t shied away from expressing their fondness for certain luxury alcoholic beverages or even endorsing them. Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer has talked about his love for champagne in the past and is the brand ambassador of luxury champagne brand Moët & Chandon. Andy Murray, hailing from Britain himself, has shown his love for champagne and beer multiple times previously.

Apart from them, the Williams sisters Serena and Venus‘ fondness for wine is also pretty well known, although Venus opened up about her decision to avoid wine in order to maintain her waist last year.

Alcohol, it seems, has become the unlikely link between the sport of tennis and a bunch of tennis-ignorant Britons. Looking at its skyrocketing viewership, the Wimbledon organizers surely aren’t complaining!
