I wish I could believe Amelie could keep this up! She does have her last match to look back on, where she also messed up the 2nd set. Hope that helps her today.

I feel left out because I can't watch Maria matches.

For once, Mauresmo hits a nice backhand, but Maria hits a even better one!

4-0, but mostly because Sharapova sucks.

Huge stuff from Maria in the last game, combined with big errors.

Needless to say, Amelie got 0 chance against Justine.

Most players, you can relax at 4-0! Not when it's Amelie, in the later stages of a Slam ...

Oh, Maria is coming back in the 3rd. I'm shocked by this revelation.

Sharapova does 2 horribles mistakes and 2 or 3 great shots. She's really able of the best and the worst.

All credit to Mauresmo, she stayed calm and played a great game. 5-2.

All credit to Mauresmo, she stayed calm and played a great game. 5-2. Whew! And she faced a BP and didn't flinch. Like I expected she would.

What an ugly set. Maria blows. If Maria had a brain, she would have broken at 5-3. Easily.

Well done, Amelie. She's got a great grass game; it's fantastic to see her in the Final at last.
Though I want her to lose badly there. ;D

The stats are surprising -- Stuck-Pig Barbie had 38 net approaches to Amelie's 33. And won a lot of those points. Appearances are deceiving!

Nestor and Knowles both lost their Mixed matches today, unsurprisingly in straight sets, poor fellas.

Navratilova out of Wimbledon doubles, won’t add to 20 titles By Associated Press Thursday, July 6, 2006 - Updated: 03:37 PM EST WIMBLEDON, England - Martina Navratilova ended her Wimbledon career Thursday still tied with Billie Jean King for the most All England Club titles with 20. Navratilova and Liezel Huber of South Africa lost their quarterfinal doubles match 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 to the Chinese pair of Yan Zi and Zheng Jie, who won the Australian Open title this year. In the third round of mixed doubles, Navratilova and Mark Knowles of the Bahamas lost 7-5, 6-1 to Andy Ram of Israel and Vera Zvonareva of Russia. The 49-year-old Navratilova, who will retire from all play at the end of this year, has nine singles, seven doubles and four mixed doubles titles at Wimbledon. King won six singles, 10 doubles and four mixed. One reason Navratilova has continued so long was a desire to hold the record on her own.

CASH RAPS CHINA By Neil Mcleman
PAT CASH claims Chinese tennis coaches subject their female players to inhuman training regimes.
Na Li became the first Chinese player to reach the quarter-final of a Grand Slam before losing to Kim Clijsters at Wimbledon this week.
But as the Asian superpower prepares to host the 2008 Olympics, the Australian claimed progress in tennis had come at a high physical price.
Speaking on BBC Two's Today at Wimbledon, the 1987 champion said: "A group came to my academy in Australia and, boy, are they tough on the girls.
"We had never seen anything like it. We were almost shocked. They trained in the hot sun in Australia for five hours and then the coaches were screaming at them: 'Go out there and do some more running.'
"Certainly, we told them to stop. But they didn't."

Ali, do you really believe Maumau vs Shara was so bad? i thought Amelie did so well to hang in their in face of the pressure from Shara's big serves. I also thought Amelie served and returned very well, and was very good on defense.
