Tiger tim surprized me but to be very honest I dont think he had the ca;ibre of federer or roddick. Thats my opinion
[/QUOTE]
Yeah I think so too. Lets see if he proves me wrong or not!
Henman beaten by unseeded Ancic of Croatia. Can he do what Gaudio did at the French open and win it? I hope so.
Ancic won 7/6, 6/4, 6/2
Henman did it once again. Yeah he would like to believe that he can do it next year but years are slipping by and he is not getting any younger. Apart from that, he is not a grand slam material, lacks the killer edge. Anyways the yougnster croat was superb. AMazing performance by him :k:
Roddick is through too beating schalken 7-6, 7-6, 6-3
He will face Ancic. It should be a good match.
Ladies’ Singles Semi Finals
Serena Williams USA (1)
v.
Amelie Mauresmo FRA (4)
Lindsay Davenport USA (5)
v.
Maria Sharapova RUS (13)
I sense an all American final 
federer won against hewitt 3-1. It was a good match., Hewitt tried his best. But every time he got some chance federr came back by serving big.
Serving big makes big big difference at grass.
So I think federer and roddick may have clash in finals
naw man this sher-pawa is hot off and on the court.
Williams vs. Sharapova in finals.

Move over Anna - Maria is here!
Oh baby! what a game by Maria - i told you this chick is for real - it’s only her second year as a pro - and she has began to learn how to overcome the mistakes/pressure - she lost the first set but never lost her focus - she contested every return by Davenport - and she also managed to neutralize Davenport’s big serve despite making eight double-faults. :k:
AWESOME match - she knocked out a veteran - she got the momentum after the match was delay for the second time but man that was some awesome tennis by Maria - she reach the first grand slam Final where most likely she’ll meet with Serena - She’s the first Russian woman to reach the Wimbledon final since Olga Morozova in 1974.

ahem you mean Capriati., right? :p
all round great performance by Serena - and that was a payback of French Open this year - Serena has improved her game - she committed 45 unforced errors in French Open game against Jennifer - yesterday she committed only 14 of them - that's called IMPROVEMENT!
Backhand, forehand - serving 115 mph avg - there's no denying in the years to come - Serena will rule the tennis world!
Henman is overrated in UK - (not that i hate him with passion as much as i do Beckham) - but yesterday he pulled a typical Henman didn’t he? Tell me - who wasn’t expecting him to let down the hopes of his nation - he does it every year!
Serena reached the Finals where she'll play against Maria.
It was a hard fought for Serena - she was clearly frastruated by dropping the set for the first time this year at wimbledon - Amelie played one great tennis game - she started out poorly with unforced errors but was able to broke down Serena - and took the first.
The second set was as well hard fought for Serena - i think this was the toughest match Serena had in a while dating back to her game against Justine in the French Open.
Well - it's now onto between Maria and Serena on Saturday - hopefully Serena wins and Roddick on Sunday - independence day celebration couldn't be much better. :)

well, there was a nice article on bbc about how Henman will not win Wimbledon. It was spot on
Davenport almost made it to the final though.
Go Sharapova 
Sareena may have beaten Amélie, but here is prediction my friends. Sareena's reign is finished. Give this girl (Amélie) another year and she will be walking all over Sareena.
Serena targets hat-trick](BBC SPORT | Tennis | Sharapova storms to Wimbledon glory)
Serena Williams says it would be the “most special moment” of her career so far if she can clinch her third straight title in Saturday’s Wimbledon final.
The top seed, who faces 17-year-old Maria Sharapova, underwent knee surgery after lifting the trophy a year ago and did not play again for eight months.
“It’s a been a tough road back, I was really struggling,” admitted Williams.
“It seems like people always expect me to win, but it’s not that easy. I’m proud of myself to have come through.”
However, Williams may have to face a frustrating delay before she walks out to defend her title on Saturday.
Heavy showers on Friday meant the men’s semi-finals did not finish and the women’s final will be preceded by the completion of the match between Roger Federer and Sebastien Grosjean.
Rain is also forecast for Saturday, but Williams is an experienced campaigner when it comes to preparing for Grand Slam finals.
The 22-year-old has already collected six Grand Slam titles, the last five of which have come at the expense of sister Venus.
She admits it will be an odd feeling not to see her sister on the other side of the net, but is not underestimating the challenge of Sharapova.
“I wish I was getting ready to fight Venus in the final, but I can’t think about that,” said Williams.
“Maria’s a tough player. She’s solid on all sides. She hits good angles. She’s doesn’t seem to get too distracted. I like that about her.”
Williams was 17 when she won her first Grand Slam title, at the US Open in 1999, and insisted she was not nervous because “I knew I was going to win”.
Sharapova, also 17, will make her first Grand Slam final appearance in Saturday’s final, and also claimed she will not be affected by nerves.
“I haven’t been nervous throughout this whole tournament, I’ve just been out enjoying myself,” she said.
“Nerves are part of tennis. I like that part of it. It keeps you motivated, keeps you wanting to be in those situations and get out of them by winning.”
The first Russian woman to reach a Wimbledon final in 30 years, Sharapova will have to bridge a huge gap in experience when she meets the former world number one and twice defending champion.
However, Sharapova said she is not concerned about the reputation of her opponent.
“Serena’s a tough girl and a fighter and we share those similarities so I’m looking foward to a very tough match,” she said.
"What I’ve been doing these past two weeks is just playing my game. It doesn’t matter who I play.
“I just want to go out and I want to have fun. It’s my first Wimbledon final. It’s an amazing feeling.”
Federer-Roddick final is on..
Roddick has beatan Ancic and Federer has beatan Grosjean.
Shuld be an awesome match.
Looks like Sharapova is gonna win. She is 5 pts away from his first grand slam.

^ Exactly, just rolled over serena.
Excellent performance by her. Whats more amazing that she is just 17 and playign such amazing tennis. Awesome
Amazing performance by Sharapova. She never let Serena into the match.
