Who's gonna stop Venus Williams from retaining the Wimbledon crown?
Who is ready and steady to say no to the all Willam's final?
The sisters are doing an incredible job at the lawn. They are playing over-the-top tennis in both singles and doubles, and that makes all other players look like pathetic amateurs.
Venus followed Serena into the fourth round of the tournament by beating a very-difficult-to-beat opponent, Suarez Novarro, the same chic who whacked her in the third round of Australian Open earlier this year.
Its really difficult to say which one of the mighty sisters is in a much better form and position to win the title.
As usual, I will go with Serena....even though I've been wrong for three consecutive years...
Venus is an extremely dangerous player, but I still think the younger sister the best of the two.
Anyway, I normally don't care much about who wins if the two meet in the finals. Come on, they live together, they are practically twins, obviously they share the fortune.
The French Open champion Sevtlana Kuznetsova is out of the tournament, and so is Jelena Jankovic.
Andy "spoilt" Murray, who seems to be carrying the whole Wimbledon and ofcourse, Britain on his shoulders impressively made it to the fourth round this afternoon. No matter how much support he gets from his people, I still would not want to be in his position, especially at Wimbledon where the making of great history is at the highest stake.
Hope he wins this time and get everyone to calm down and shut up!
Venus meets Anna Ivanovic on tuesday noon, and her younger sister Serena has a date with Danielle Hantuchova on Monday.
The Feds Express meets Soderling....
Many more interesting matches in the second week of Wimbledon.

Day three at Wimbledon.

Today was not only the best day of my life but the greatest. Maria Sharapova's heart-breaking loss at Wimbledon made it all the more enjoyable.
I can't remember being this happy for such a long time. And its really coming from within.
For the first time I don't feel as if something is missing....its great what letting go can do to one's heart.
Anyway, enough about my joyful mood.
Maria Sharapova's hot lawn date with Gisela Dulko was one of the most interesting I have seen.
First set was really funeral-like for the former Wimbledon Champion. She just could not get anything right. Maria certainly looked frozen on the court, in that sun-kissed daylight.
While Gisela blasted bomb after bomb of serves, Maria produced one mutilating error after the other.
So 6-2 it was, against the Russian.
Second set started in exactly the same manner as first. Maria was 3-0 down when she finally thought enough was enough.
She broke Gisela's serve and rolled on to finish the set. It was so impressive.
Maria must have burnt all her energy in the second set coz she just could not deliver the goods in the third.
The tennis' beauty queen failed to turn things around. Even the loud grunting couldn't save her this time.
It was one blissful tennis match.
Miss Serena cruised through second round in straight impressive sets. Elena Dementieva and Victoria Azarenka also made it through.
The Feds Express is on a slide. Djokovic struggled a bit in the first set, but he also made it through.
Venus in action tomorrow.

Day two at the lawns....
Wimbledon's defending champion, Miss Venus Williams has began her bid with such ease it only took her less than forty minutes to boot out her teenage opponent, Swiss Stefanie Voegele.
Is Venus fit and ready to make her sixth grass title?
Well.....I am keeping my fingers crossed for her!
The world number one, Dinara Safina and Jelena Jankovic also made it through.
The most pampered lad, Andy Murray had a rough-patched start against American Robert Kendrick, but managed to turn the match around eventually.
Murray's name sake American Andy Roddick eased through his first match in straight sets.
And so the games continue................

Day one - Wimbledon.
What a great day it's been - incredible matches, no rain episodes....oh, I forgot, there won't be any more rain dramas this year at Wimbledon. Yeah, disappointing I know, but the roof on centre court is there to stay.
Somehow Wimbledon without the yo-yo-like running of players from courts to locker rooms doesn't sound familiar enough.
But what the hell, there is still so much more to be enjoyed at this posh Grand Slam; like the angelic look the white attire puts on our competetors. Its marvelous indeed.
Anyway, first day of the Slam, not so many casualties, am afraid. Except for James Blake, maybe. I must say am quite disappointed of the American early loss, but am not that surprised.
Serena Williams slided into the second round in straight sets, and so did Maria Sharapova and Elena Dementieva.
Danielle Hantuchova upset the cute British teen and wild card, Laura Robson, but ofcourse in three hard sets. Laura, last year's Wimbledon juniors champion took the first set, 6-3 in less than half an hour. You can ofcourse imagine the Home fans cheers when she took the first set. Everybody watching the match believed the young tennis star was going to win, for Danielle was hampered with unforced errors and nerves.
It all turned sour for the British when she failed to break the Slovakian babe at 5-4 in the second set.
Hantuchova went ahead and took the deciding set, 6-2 and winning the match.
Laura Robson might have gotten out in the first round, but everybody knows she is a star. Just give her a couple of years.....
No chance for anybody to halt the Feds Express in the first round. The Swiss cruised into the second round in straight sets.
Jeo Wilfred Tsonga and Novak Djokovic both had to go into fourth sets to put their opponents in their places.
Soderling, the man who upset Raphael Nadal at the French, also made up through.
Lets see what tomorrow brings!

Wimbledon 2009.

Its only a few hours from now, before the Grandest slam of the year begins in the historical city, London.
Wimbledon, the only Slam on grass starts tomorrow, the 22nd june, and I tell you, the draws are interesting.
With the men's world number one, Raphael Nadal retired from the tournament, everybody has high hopes of seeing new faces, especially in the final. It's always been Federer and Nadal for the past three years, and believe me, we have had more than enough of them. Ofcourse they bring with them some heart-wrenching moves that make us smile, but I think a new face will bring so much more..ie raised eye brows to a few faces. Change is good!
There is a very big chance this year's final could be a repeat of last year's; the Williams sisters at each other's throat.
If thats the case, I wonder....
