Howzat Mr Federer?
|
This week's caption competition features tennis star Roger Federer, who is playing in the Australian Open in Melbourne.
The Swiss destroyer took a break from his normal training routine to try his hand at a different sport.
This week's bobby dazzler comes from Clare Bear in Wales.
Sherlock Federer smiled wryly, "It's a lemon entry, Watson."
Well done Clare, your postman will be bowling you an infamous BBC goody bag through your letterbox in due course.
Next week's cap comp will be published on Monday.
