INSERT MAJOR THREAD DERAILMENT HERE:
Oh Nyssa, please don't hate me but as a lifelong tennis fanatic I gotta be honest...as much as I respect the Williams' sisters talents on court, ladies tennis needs new blood at the very top. They have accomplished so much already - I would hate to see them stay in the game overly long and tarnish their awesome records of Slam wins. Nothing is more tragic in sports than top athletes who are unable to step away. They still got time, but I want to see new blood.
Not really new, but I do see Maria making a big dent at Wimbledon. She should not have lost to Na Li at Roland Garros, though Na Li played the match and tournament of her life. Good for her - all of China was behind her and that's a lotta people
Murray - what can I say? I hope he can overcome Tim Henman Syndrome - the weight of an entire nation is on his shoulders, a nation that has enjoyed so much tennis success in the distant past. Wimbledon and US Open are his best chances for a Slam.
But not this year...'cause Fed ain't done.
Fed will win Wimbledon 2011 or I consider going vegetarian and sparing poohbear and his gang... lol
