Wimbledon 2007 winding down



Well looks like 07/07/07 turned out to be a lucky day for Venus Williams she won her forth Wimbledon title in straight sets over Marion Bartoli.

It's really too bad I sort of got the feeling that if Bartoli had hang in there a little longer and taken the match to a 3rd set, Venus would not have won.

Especially since she was having thigh issues towards the very end. But hey, better Venus then Serena. That woman's ego doesn't need anymore boosting.

Federer won his match pretty routinely in 3 sets over Frenchman Richard Gasquet, the match no doubt made easier by Gasquet's exhaustion from the 5 setter with Andy Roddick the previous day. So now it is another re-match of Federer and Nadal, Federer of course going for a record 5th consecutive Wimbledon.

Should be an interesting match, Roger may have to work a little more tomorrow to win the final but I will give him the upper hand.

Out of the 2 Federer is the better grass player. Roger has been a little rusty due to so much rest in between his matches (forced by rain) but I have a feeling he'll pull through.
