Well, the draw has finally been narrowed down to the semis. And what semis they will be. First there's the all Belgium final between Kim Clijsters and Justine-Henin, in their 22nd meeting.
Their head to head wins are quite even as well Henin with 11 and Clijsters with 10. This semi-final is basically a repeat of Roland Garros, but I hope that this time it will be Kim who wins it. I would really love for her to win her 1st Wimbledon title. Especially since she plans to retire next year.
Henin of course is trying to win her 5th Grand Slam this year. But I'm still rooting for Kim.
The other semi's will be between Sharapova and Amelie Mauresmo. And this one is a no brainer, I'm sure it will be Sharapova with the way she's playing. Amelie has got a long way to go, she starts off well in a match but then looses her nerve.
And well you can't do that against someone like Sharapova. So I think the final will definitely be between Sharapova and the winner of the Henin/Clijsters match.
Here are a couple of match reports of Kim's and Justine's journey to the semi finals from Wimbly's site:
