I’ve seen Wrestling Rings, Boxing Rings, Ancient Coliseums, Combat Arenas, Basketball Courts, and other sporting locations but this time I took a quick look at IBM’s Winbledon Tennis Court in Second Life.

What can I say? IBM did an amazing job at it. The tennis court looks amazingly real and it even has two dummy players playing on it. In fact, you can even be one of the dummies but right-clicking on one of them and then selecting Sit. Your avatar will then replace the dummy. Unfortunately, you can’t actually control what’s happening. You’ll just be a replacement for the dummy. LOL!

Want some freebies? You got it! You can grab yourself a free tennis racket from a rack just beside the tennis court and other goodies are available at the Wimbledon Shop like T-Shirts, Umbrellas, Complete Avatars and others.

Anyway, I’m not sure if you can actually play any virtual tennis on the court but still this IBM’s Wimbledon Tennis Court is a nice place to visit. I’m not a big tennis fan yet still I appreciate what they did here and I’ve heard that they simulated the games of last year’s Wimbledon on this court LIVE although I’m not sure if they’ll be doing that on this year’s tournament.

By the way, speaking of this year’s Wimbledon, MediaZone will be broadcasting this year’s Wimbledon Championships online. They will be providing live and on demand broadcast of the matches ONLINE! Now you’ll be able to watch your favorite players anytime and anywhere. Well, I surely wouldn’t mind watching Maria Sharapova play over and over and over and over… You can even watch eight matches at once!

So, if you are looking for a way to watch Wimbledon LIVE then just head on over at www.mediazone.com and get to watch Wimbledon the way you like it.
