Well, what do you know? Amelie Mauresmo pulled it off in 3 sets against Sharapova. But I was right about her loosing her nerve again. She was up 3/1 in the second set and proceeded to commit a bunch of errors allowing Sharapova to get back into the match.
And take it into a 3rd set. That's what I never understand about this player she plays well at the beginning and then mid way through looses concentration and allows her nerves to get the best of her.
And because of that I think Justine Henin is pretty much a shoe-in for the title. This is going to be their second meeting this year the first one being at the Australian Open in January.
Where Mauresmo won. If you can call it that I wouldn't call retiring a win. The title was pretty much given to Mauresmo by Henin when she retired because of a stomach problem. I think this time it will be a true re-match. And I might even watch it this year just to see Justine win. I was really hoping that Kim would win today but Justine was too solid. She hasn't dropped a set this whole tournament.
Here is a couple of articles from Wimbledon on Henin's and Mauresmo's matches:
