Talk about calling matches in advance. Laura Robson is at 6-1 odds to win the ladies title at Wimbledon by 2020. Really? By 2020? What crystal ball are you looking at?
I’m not saying Robson isn’t without talent. For those who don’t follow it, Robson won the Wimbledon junior title this past week with a 6-3, […]
I’ve tried to avoid looking at all the headlines, because I don’t want to see all the Roger Federer-bashers climbing out of the woodwork now that he no longer has a strangle-hold on grass.
Now that I’m a day removed from the felling of the king, I’m…yep…still just as sad, haha. But at the end […]
The 2008 Wimbledon final has been over for a good 45 minutes now, and I’m still sitting here, wondering what to say about it. The short story is that Rafael Nadal finally beat Roger Federer in the Wimbledon championship game 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7. But there is so much more than just a loser […]
It was actually a good match. I know it was a straight-set final (7-5, 6-4), but it was a good match - so much better than I remember the Williams sisters finals being. I got in on it at the beginning of the second set (west coast time wreaks havoc with my tennis-watching habits), and […]
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal stormed their way through the Wimbledon semifinals to set up the third consecutive meeting at the Wimbly championship for the pair. We all know the story of the last two meetings: Federer winning handily two years ago and by a breath of a hair last year.
Oh the semis - Marat […]
Oh bother, they’ve done it again. We should really just start calling this tournament the “Williams’ Wimbledon”. Both Serena and Venus Williams handled their semifinal opponents in straight sets to book their third meeting in the Wimbledon final. The last time the duo was in a Wimbly final was in 2003. Serena won that title […]
As Sally so graciously pointed out below, my picks were right for the Wimbledon quarterfinals (Well, except for Rainer Schuettler and Arnaud Clement who haven’t finished their match yet)! I’m amazed at myself.
The most impressive of the three completed matches was Rafael Nadal’s pounding of Andy Murray. I knew it was coming. I think a […]
Roger Federer took a commanding 6-1 first set from Mario Ancic, and it was 1-all in the second when the rains shooed them off court.
In the other quarter of this half of the draw, Feliciano Lopez holds a 5-2 first set lead before the rain break over Marat Safin. Granted, a lot can happen in […]
Venus Williams is another step closer to defending her 2007 Wimbledon title. In one of the most crazy, convuluted Wimbledons in recent memory, Williams became the first woman into the semifinals after dispatching Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-4, 6-3. ‘
Elena Dementieva, the highest remaining seed at number five, managed to come through a tough quarterfinal match to […]
England has got to be hoppin’ tonight!
Andy Murray pulled a miracle out of his scrawny little butt. Two sets down to the eighth-seeded Richard Gasquet is really not a great way to try and get into the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. But if Murray just wasn’t the little tall Brit that could.
The third set went the […]
