I was going to write about my trip this week but I've been too mesmerized by Wimbledon. The commentators have rightly pointed out the novelty of an all-Polish men's quarterfinal (Jerzy Janowicz vs. Lukasz Kubot) while failing to mention that the women's semifinal (Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Sabine Lisicki) will also be between two Polish speakers (Lisicki's parents emigrated from Poland to Germany in 1979). For at least one tournament, Polish has replaced Russian as the language of the practice courts. To dobrze.
