As the finals at Wimbledon are being held this weekend I looked for tennis stamps.
 |
| Czechoslovakia - 22 Feb 1973 |
This stamp was to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the tennis organisation in Czechoslovakia.
It wasn't to be Andy Murray's year this time but:
 |
| Great Britain - 2013 - he won |
From Australia I found an Olympic diver
 |
| Australia |
If that date stamp is 1976, the Olympics were in Montreal that year.
I can still touch my toes but there is no way I could ever look as graceful as that.
Perhaps I would do better at archery in a European Championship.
 |
| Italy - 2011 |
I searched hard to find a stamp relating to women's football to celebrate the recent World Cup in Canada and England's relative success in finishing third.
I had to settle for the men's moment of glory in 1966 instead.

| Great Britain |

I love that tennis ball stamp. Will Andy Murray ever make a third appearance on a stamp?
The tennis stamp immediately made me think of the Serena Slam.
Great selection, and I agree, the tennis ball stamp is a lot of fun.
Nice collection. I especially like the Australian swimmer stamp design!
The nice thing about Sunday Stamps is that I get to see a lot of stamps I've never seen before. I particularly like the archery stamp.
Serena Williams was on TV this morning talking about her hopes of winning the Grand Slam.
Watched some of Wimbledon but not a lot. I used to be glued to the TV watching in the UK. I like the tennis ball stamp too.
Love, love, love the tennis stamp!!
