Wimbledon is nearly over.. Today we had the women's semis. Of the four players? I was aware of exacly ONE of them. Changing of the guard? Kvitova & Sharapova will be battling it out on Saturday afternoon for the women's title.
Sharpy (or screamapova as I like to call her..she of decibel level 109!) looks like she will take the title. I'm rooting for Kvitova.

Tomorrow = the men's semi finals... Murray vs Nadal, Djokovic vs Tsonga.
Murray trying to be the 1st British man to win in about 76 years or something (and get his 1st slam win), Nadal trying to defend his title, Djokovic out to prove that he really IS the new man to beat, and Tsonga trying to get his first grand slam victory.
Ummm, gotta feel for Murray.. the weight of a nation on his shoulders (AGAIN) but I can't see him getting by Nadal.
Nadal had looked decidely "shaky"all tournament long, so I dunno.
Tsonga HAS to be feeling on TOP of the WORLD since he beat Roger Federer yesterday in FIVE sets!!!
DJokovic become the new world # 1 IF he wins his match tomorrow against Tsonga, so HE will be SUPER motivated!
It's gonna be a GRAND day of tennis tomorrow. ;D

oh dear.. and now I've put this up here and the word "everything" does not completely show... pffffft.. how do I get that one together? You don't worry about it. Apparently ProBoards, along with its other limitations, has limits on thread title length. I discovered this when starting the serious thread. I think the title got shorter within the thread because every reply has a Re: at the beginning. We know what you mean, though.  |

Nadal beat Murray... and will meet Djokivic in today's mens final.
Djokovic will replace Rafa as number #1 in the world come Monday morning, no matter the outcome of the Wimbledon final.
VAMOSSSSSSS RAFA!!!!

It looks like Rafa had a tough day today. He picked the wrong day to be off form.

We're commiserating with Imelda. Your personal opinions on Nadal and Djokovic may make a difference as to how you feel on the subject, though.
I did hear a very classy joke the other day about Andy Murray being sponsored by Viagra next year in the hope that he could achieve more than a semi...

I have taken off my sackcloth and ashes...
Djokovic was really wonderful and (no matter HOW much it pains me to say it) deserved to win the final.
so..
Congratulations to Novak Djokovic 2011 Wimbledon singles champion!
