Princess Kate�s love of tennis runs in the family.
In a new documentary for BBC One, the athletic royal, who has a tennis court at her country
home of Anmer Hall, admits both she and her mother, Carole Middleton, are inspired by
tennis greats.
�Every time Wimbledon is on I am there thinking, �Yes, I could do the same� and get out
the racket.
Sadly, never the same results� she says in Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon, which airs on
BBC One on July 2.
She also revealed who her mother�s favorite tennis star is someone who came to her sister
Pippa Middleton�s recent wedding.
�Roger [Federer] is my mother�s heartthrob.
I don�t think she will mind me saying that!
I think he probably knows that too,� she says.
For Kate, watching Wimbledon was a family tradition growing up.
�It is such a quintessential part of English summer,� she says.
�I was really taken by Agassi and Sampras, Ivanisevic and Steffi Graf.
That for me was my first memories.� She and her family would go to the championships
before she was a royal, and she calls the atmosphere �incredible.� Now, she doesn�t
have to wait in line for tickets, as she has a permanent spot in the royal box, often alongside
Prince William.
And Kate will take in the first day of the championships on Monday as patron of the All
England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
