Rock Concert In An Opera

Two hallowed turfs steeped in tradition

hosted pinnacle games of their sport

A Princess daughter battling Queen mother's emotion

Away, two gentlemen kept swaying patrons' support

Neither bat nor ball held an upper hand 

Points, games, sets seemed lost and then won

The games chartered a never before the land

Quirky rules quelled their desire to crown one

Enthralling victors were here congratulated - yet

Enigmatic vanquished were more celebrated

Vagaries of sport did itself a favor  

Vivacious fans cherish a lifetime to savor
