Only three days and Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the year will be over too. It's been a Wimbledon filled with surprises, rain, drooling over players, if you know what I mean (I know you know what I mean).
The ladies' singles final will feature three-times Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova and new star Petra Kvitova. Since I like none of them, I will not watch and I will not support anyone. Here.
In the gentlemen's competition, three of the first four seeds qualified in the semifinals. The biggest (and only, actually) surprise was Tsonga beating Federer in three, after Roger had a two sets lead. Good for you, Jo!
In the first semifinal, we will see Andy Murray fighting for a place in the final of his home-tournament against defending champion Rafa Nadal. It might seem like Mission:Impossible, but "Impossible is Nothing", no?
In the second semifinal, we will have the chance to watch the coolest people around, Jo-Willy Tsonga and Nole Djokovic. For me, this is the hardest one to choose a favourite. If Novak wins today, he finally becomes No.1 for the first time in his career! And he would be the single world No.1 since 2004, other than Nadal and Federer. So this is huge! And I strongly believe he deserves it.
Our boy Horia Tecau and our... adopted boy Robert Lindstedt, as I like to call them, are shining again on the British grass from Wimbledon. After making history for Romania last year (first Romanian to play in a Wimbledon final in the past 37 years), Horia and his partner Brad equaled their performance this year. "We hope to win one more match than last year," Horia said before the tournament. Well, you have your chance. But it won't be easy.
Brad and Horia's opponents in the final will be either the magical twins Bob and Mike Bryan, 'cause I can't find any other words to describe their careers, either Zimo and Mika Llodra. All four of them, specialists in doubles. As for me, I have always wanted to see a match between Lindstedt/Tecau and Bob and Mike. But I would have prefered it to be in a small tournament, not a Grand Slam final.
Well, that's it for today. Make sure you watch all the interesting matches! You don't want to lose anything. :)
Can we hope for a comeback in the top of the rankings? I think we can. I mean, we're talking about Serena, no? :)
As we have seen during her matches, she is strong, she is powerful and determined to win. 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,' they say. She became stronger with every match. And after this battle, a battle I know she will win, she will become even stronger, more powerful and more determined.
Lots of happiness, luck and all their wishes come true! I hope to see a Lena Jr. running on the tennis court and a Maxim Jr. on ice soon!
Petra Kvitova def. Maria Sharapova in two. And this way, Masha has just wasted the last chance of me supporting her for a title.
Novak has never looked better than now, kissing the trophy. And the trophy has never looked better than now, kissed by Novak. The new world No.1 prooved, once again, his value, won his first Wimbledon and ate the grass on Centre Court.
No really, ate it!
Looks like a copy of last year's Wimbledon. Only with different opponents. Bob and Mike Bryan def. Horia Tecau and Brad Lindstedt in three. First of all, Horia and Robert are awesome for being in the final. And then, the third time is lucky, guys!
On the other hand, congratulations to the magical twins!!!
A trophy for prettiness, please? Petkorazzi and Deliciano were definetly the most discussed and the most appreciated mixed doubles team at Wimbledon this year.
