Well, ladies' finals last night was pretty definitive. Venus Williams beat Marion Bartoli 6-4 6-1. I'm not sure about the score, but I think that's it. Like I said, after Justine was out of the draw, I don't really care who wins anymore. I mean, if it were any other two players, like Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Nicole Vaidisova, or even Anna Chakvetedze, or maybe Daniela Hantuchova, I would still take an interest. But Venus and Bartoli, seriously, I don't care. Anyway, the match wasn't as exciting or competitive as a Wimbledon final should be. That's cos Bartoli was really not much of a match for Venus. If Justine was there, now, it would be a different story. Venus might or might not win, but still, there would have been a more competitive match. At least, there would most likely be a rubber set.
Anyway, men's finals are on tonight! Once again, FedEx vs Rafa! Federer beat Richard Gasquet, who had earlier on beaten Andy Roddick in a suprise outcome. He took in straight sets, pretty definitive. Rafa, on the other hand, lost the first set, but won the second, and was leading 4-1 in the third when Novak Djokovic retired due to a toe blister, back pain and general exhaustion. Anyway, Rafa would have most likely gotten the third set. I mean, 4-1. Hold serve, break serve, that's it. Then Rafa being Rafa would probably go on to take the fourth set, and the place in the finals. So it was just as well anyway.
Ok, Rafa, you might or might not be able to dethrone the master of grass Roger Federer. But remember, you're the king of clay. You took a set off him at the finals last year, you can do it again and more. Pay him back for the set he took off you at Roland Garros! I'm going to be optimistic and say that you CAN WIN THIS. Even if you can't, you're not going out without a fight. Xisca'll be watching you from the stands, just remember that, if you need motivation. :D And millions of fans around the world, including me, will be watching you too. VAMOS RAFA, LET'S ROCK THE GRASS OF WIMBLEDON!
