Wimbledon Open
I am currently watching the QF match between Zheng Jie from China and Nicole Vaisidova from Russia. I am actually shock to see the chinese to make it so far to the wimbledon. Never has any chinese or maybe asian entered the semifinals of a grand slam...as far as i know. She is leading the game now and i really hope she makes it. Show those people that we asians are all rounded. But i must say, Justine Henin's retirement just makes tennis boring. I doubt anyone right now will actually stand a chance to dominate the William sister aka Gorillas. The rest of the players have to play their best to actually beat those gorillas but Justine always dominate them. She is my all time favourite player. So sad to see her leave before the French Open (else , she will be winning her 5th French Open title). I guess this year's winner will be one of the sisters. I hope Zheng Jie will create a suprise win for the Chinese.

justin did leave a gap when she left.. things are not right when Anna is the world number one, I am surprised sharapova not ranked higher (than again I cannot stand her)
Zheng Jie indeed a surprise but than again each year there is always this flash in the pan, the one hit wonder (Marion Bartoli anyone) that stormed into the scene but never heard of again and I am afriad this is Zheng Jie moment and we will never hear of her ever again given her age and the lack of experience in the grand slam game.
My money is on Roger (He have to win) for the mens and serena to win, than again I am a huge fan of the williams sisters aka Gorillas I will be happy for Venus to take it for the fifth time.....
Yup..Jelena and Anna top2 , just not right. I really enjoyed the time when the gorillas dominated but at the same time, faced strong challenges from Hingis,Davenport, Capriati. Also, love the time when the Belgians kind of dominated the women tennis scenes.
I watched few games of Zheng Jie and she is great....he shots are accurate and smart. I just hope she is consistent. I personally do not favour the Williams because they have the power advantages over lots of women players. (Serena's arm and thigh is larger than mine).
As for men, although Nadal is hot (his face is average but his arms...drool~~), i prefer Roger. Nadal belongs to clay and the rest belongs to Roger. I expect a great match between them and i wont be suprise if Nadal lift this year's Wimbledon.
