Shockers at Wimbledon
Ok one major shocker really, a virtual unknown 19th ranked Marion Bartoli knocked Justine-Henin out of Wimbledon in 3 sets!.
So now she has set up a meeting with Venus Williams in the final. We could have a first time non top ten player as the winner this year, that's worth sticking around to see.
I'm really really surprised at Henin though she was so solid the entire tournament people were calling her the female Roger Federer. This tournament is definitely turning into a memorable one.
On the men's side Richard Gasquet beat Andy Roddick to get into his first semi, which isn't such a big shocker, but it could prove quite a challenge for Roger Federer. I have a feeling this is going to be one heck of a semi- final on both sides.
Usually as the tournament winds down it becomes predictable but this year is the complete opposite. Once again I am sad that Hingis didn't make it further, if it weren't for the injury this could have been her year.
