But he's lost it. Last year that would have been 41 winners and 5 unforced errors. Nadal has this tournament in the bag.

I think it's going to be a interesting final whatever happens, I mean obviously Fed vs Nadal would be a titanic showdown, but even if Safin somehow beats Federer... I'd be pissed scared if I was Rafa at that point. At least with Federer, he somewhat knows what he's getting from the last two years, but Safin is like a wild beast uncaged, especially if he's just coming off beating Federer.

I'm still backing Nadal for the title, but my god did roger play well today.... should e an epic final. Shame the weather forecast is awful for the weekend

I'm so pissed about this season's Wimbledon as I have seen maybe 5% or less of it. ESPN can't play it at night anymore apparently. The dumb tennis channel shows matches that are days old at night and sometimes boring as hell doubles matches. All the while, I'm missing the Williams sisters make a run for a class in the finals and I missed the chinese girl's game play. God, so sick. Maybe I can find some action on youtube. I still hope that both Venus and Serena lose in the semis so I don't jinx them by rooting for them.

I hate the NBC coverage because, aside from the championship days, it is NEVER live for us central timers. Pisses me off. I can never stop myself from just looking up the scores.

The Safin/Federer will probably be more competitive than the Nadal semi, but I'm not really seeing an upset in the making. The AO SF was referenced, but they played last year at Wimbledon and it was 6-1 6-4 7-6, so if Federer plays like he did against Ancic, and Safin the way he played against Lopez, I see much the same result.

FedNadal 3 on Centre Court seems like a good bet.

Check out ESPN360. That's where I saw the full replays.

And I'm going to skip work for half a day tomorrow since Zheng Jie will finally be on damn TV.

Goooo Zheng Jie and Elena Dementieva!!

It upsets me that I have to watch the Serena semi on Quebec TSN if I want to watch it live.

Ivanisevic won the men's chamionship in 2001 as a wildcard.

Get ready for one ugly women's final.

At least tennis wise.

V vs S

Great! We will have two men finals this year.

Zing!

But also true.

Dont know why you are happy about that. It's a guaranteed shitty final with 50 unforced errors from each.

Seriously, i HATE it when Venus and Serena play each other. They both suck, and Venus seems unable to bring out that killer instinct when she plays her sister.

Ugh, well Go Venus!

So proud of Zheng. That second set was sensational. Her ground strokes were as good as I've seen. The big difference is, expectedly, the serve. Serena simply served too well. Zheng would've had a fine chance even if Serena had her game off just a little. Definitely congrats to her.

That 6:5, 30:40 break chance was oh so close...The one opening Zheng had.

She did break Serena for 4-2 in the second, but couldn't consolidate it. Serena's serve was just too good and too much for Zheng to handle, but I do hope I see more of Zheng in the future, she does have a good backhand.

As for the final, I think Serena may take this, but I do prefer Venus.

So much for Safin giving him trouble.

Nadal is going to win the 3rd set 6-3.

And then destroy Federer.

it's been 5 years since their last finals match and Serena has 5-1 record against her big sis.
i think this time Venus will bring her A game. She wants that 5th Wimbledon title.

they are my two fav tennis players.

Roger looks like Roger again... before the tournament I said I'd pick Nadal if they played, but now, I dunno. I think I'll go with Federer.

This is going to be awesome though... it'll all on the line. If Fed wins, he's the only person to win 6 straight Wimbledons, and being one GS away from Sampras' record, he'll surely end up as the best ever.

If Nadal wins, there's a new daddy in town. I assume he'd just have to get to like the semis or something at the US Open to take the #1 ranking, too.

Finally got to watch some actual tennis for this year's wimbledon and they were both pretty much no contests for Nadal or Federer. Fitting though since they will clash in the final again. I don't know who to root for in this really. I'd like for Fed to get one step closer to breaking the all time slam record but I'd also not like to see Nadal lose for a 3rd straight time here. Such a dilemma!

I didn't watch much of either the Williams' semifinals even though I was able to dvr them.

I'm going to hope that Venus wins her fifth wimbledon title. I think that's right.

Federer will have to serve as well as he did versus Safin and Ancic to win on Sunday.
Nadal will have to play like he did against Murray and not Schuttler to take the title.

I don't like the looks of the forecast though.
