we'd all luv each semi to go 3 set but it ain't happening.
straight set (mostly boring) victory by the sisters.

the final match will be EPIC!

Yep, a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 victory by Venus.

That's pretty sensational stuff from Federer: 40 winners, only 6 unforced errors, won 80% of points on his 2nd serve, and no break point faced.

I still hope that both Venus and Serena lose in the semis so I don't jinx them by rooting for them.

Yep, a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 victory by Venus. Just a little impossible at Wimbledon. How many errors would a three set match produce from the WS? 100?

Yep, a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 victory by Venus. They always play each other like shit. Also no 3rd set tie breaker. So one of them will crush the other.

100 seems like a good bet, X.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Nadal is going to win the 3rd set 6-3. And then destroy Federer.
