WHY?!?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Justineee what happened to youuuuuu.
In a most shocking semifinal match yesterday between World No. 1 Justine Henin and 18th seed Marion Bartoli, poor Justine lost 1-6 7-5 6-1. She totally trashed Bartoli in the first set! I was so sure she was going to win! I mean, she was THE Justine Henin! Like, the invincible? 7-5 I might vaguely believe, but 6-1?!? Since when does Justine Henin get beaten 6-1, by a player who's not even in the top 15?!?
Bartoli, in her post-match interview, claimed that the prescence of Pierce Brosnan, ex-007, in the crowd, motivated her on. "I thought to myself, I can't play so badly in front of him!" she said. Uh RIIIIIIIIGHT. You just happened to catch a Henin on a bad day, that's all. Wait till you next meet her, you'll be SO TRASHED. After the first set, I happily went to bed, thinking that it was going to be another straight set win to the finals for dear Justine, where she might even beat Venus Williams to clinch her first Wimbledon crown. If I had known that there would be such a change, like if I had stayed up to watch the second set too, and know that there would have to be a deciding set, I would have brought my voodoo dolls out again.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Justine, you're still my No. 1. You have next year, you can win this. You'll complete a career Grand Slam, I know you will. And I'll still be supporting you next year.
I don't care for the finals now. I don't care who wins anymore. Marion Bartoli vs Venus Williams for the final. Both are players whom I absolutely can't stand. I'm just so disappointed that Ana Ivanovic failed to clean Venus off. I was so expecting a Henin vs Ivanovic final. In which case I wouldn't mind both, but I'd certainly still support Justine. If Venus wins, it's going to be a total insult to Wimbledon. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Yesterday, Gillian, Joy and Xinjia all agreed with me that Justine would win. I thought it was for sure.
Here's the moral, I guess: In tennis, the ball is round. It's anybody's game.
P.S.: Men's semis: Roger Federer vs Richard Gasquet (in ANOTHER suprise win over Andy Roddick!), and Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic. VAMOS RAFA!
