Voice of Jewish Sport
WHILE HE’S got quite a way to go until being mentioned in the same breath as Djokovic, Federer, Nadal or even Murray, Noah Rubin’s Wimbledon win on Sunday did at least give us the chance to celebrate a Jewish triumph at SW19. The 18-year-old, who described his boys’ singles win as a “surreal moment”, was taking part in only his second junior event of the season. And earning his title the hard way, not only did he have to win eight games having entered the tournament as a qualifier, he also beat three seeded players, producing displays of spirit, skill and unbelievable resolve. Taking the win in his stride in his post-match press conference, dreams of emulating the above quartet will though have to be put on hold for a bit. Next up for the New Yorker is a week to unwind, a low-level tournament in the States and then the start of college.
