No one in tennis loves an emoji quite like Roger Federer does. Some of his tweets contain no words - theyre picture stories made up entirely of those little characters. And yet, for all Federers enthusiasm for social media, he has a line of communication with his fanbase that is a touch more old school.Here at the All England Club, a courier met Federer and handed him The Red Envelope. Inside the envelope, which is sealed with a sticker, are messages of support and encouragement from the seven-time champions most dedicated supporters. This is a tradition among Federers supporters that goes back to 2003, which was the year he won this title for the first time, and so pre-dates Twitter or Facebook.The messages are short and sweet -- were telling Roger were supporting him and were wishing him well for the tournament, one of Federers most devoted fans, Colleen Taylor, told the Wimbledon Diary. One of those envelopes is passed to Federer at every Grand Slam, and at almost every tournament he plays. To attract Federers attention, the courier holds up the envelope while Federer is making his way to the practice courts. Roger is always looking out for the courier and the envelope, Taylor said.New balls please -- for the police dogsIt cant be all work and no play for the police sniffers dogs at the Aorangi Park practice courts. The Wimbledon Diary spotted a couple of them having a delightful time on Peoples Sunday - what could be more fun at the All England Club than chewing on some discarded tennis balls?Tweet of the daySloane Stephens looks for the positives after losing 8-6 in the deciding set to Svetlana Kuznetsova -- and finds them.Hair-raising stunt by toutWho has the best hair in south-west London? Is it Dustin Brown, who apparently hasnt had a haircut for 20 years, and whose dreadlocks reach halfway down his body? Or perhaps Nick Kyrgios?But theres one person whose hair always demands attention, and thats the ticket tout who stands outside Southfields Underground Station, which is the nearest stop to the All England Club.He has dyed his hair neon yellow. He has also added a white line. In short, it looks as though he has a giant tennis ball on his neck.

Gather a group of friends, or find a league to join online, draft your team, set your lineup and compete in a number of different formats. Isaiah Johnson Youth Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. http://www.shoptheraidersonline.com/Elite-Lyle-Alzado-Raiders-Jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Howie Long Youth Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.

Jim Otto Jersey . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. Fernando Alonso has no doubt Honda will produce a competitive power unit next year, saying the big question is about how McLaren will adapt to Formula Ones new regulations.Honda struggled for reliability and performance on its return to the sport last year, but has corrected the main weaknesses of the 2015 power unit this year. The Japanese manufacturer is preparing for another step in 2017 and Alonso is confident the Honda engine will not be McLarens Achilles heel next season.After struggling a lot last year we found ourselves in a position that we are enjoying and competing with the midfield cars, he said. Next year we want to do the final step and fighting for much more than this. I think we have a great opportunity with the new rules, because everything will mix. If we are able to produce a quick car from race one we have a chance to do well.On the engine side I think we learn a lot this year, much more than last year because last year it was about making the power unit survive a weekend -- we had to make it last until the chequered flag. It was down on power, down on batteries, down on reliability, down on everything, so it was difficult to learn because it was just to make it run. This year I think we are fine-tuning the engine a lot more so I think the knowledge this year will pay off eeven more next year with the power unit.ddddddddddddIm quite confident on that so the big question mark is the new rules, the new aerodynamics and on that I am also confident because McLaren is a big team with a lot of resources, with a lot of possibilities so I think its looking good for next year and Im looking forward.New aerodynamic regulations are set to change the look and lap time of Formula One next year, with F1s rule makers hoping to make the cars five seconds per lap faster. All teams have increasingly prioritised 2017 development as the current season has progressed, but despite Alonsos optimism, McLaren racing director Eric Boullier says it is impossible to know how his teams 2017 car is progressing compared to its rivals.I cant update you much because I dont want any information in the media! Boullier said. And I have no reference. You hear many stories in the paddock that the regulations have been changed to introduce more downforce and performance, and I think every team has found much more performance than the current cars.But we have no reference yet, so we are on our own and we will see in February [testing] where we are compared with the others.
