Here we are... Semifinals/finals at Wimbledon

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. :)
