We are going to be hearing about that swimming pool every time she plays for the next 10 years, unfortunately!

OMG Baghdatis trying to be too cute with a dropshot, with the ENTIRE COURT open, and he nets it! Djokovic breaks to love!

Nice to see the hug at the end.

Venus has the break again.
Navratilova getting turned on by Vee's outfit. Or so she just said.

Ana saves three MPs!
But Venus is better at serving matches out than Nicole.

Ugh, Venus bullshits another final. I wasn't all that impressed though - horrid, generally, from both, and most points decided within the first few strokes by an Ana winner or, more often, a dumb Ana loser. With a sprinkling of dumb Ana net approaches which begged for passing shots.

Well Venus' stats look a lot better than what you're saying.

So Justine does get to play. And I don't get to see it because NBC wants to choke us to death with Roddick.
Come on, Gasquet. I love his backhand, but he's still losing ... UPSET THE APPLE CART!

I'm watching Henin-Bartoli. Watching Henin scream 'Allez' is hilarious considering her position in the match and her opposition. Reminiscent of a Hewitt or a Sharapova in an early-round rout. Janie, that's what she said. I didn't believe I'd heard correctly, so I asked a friend who was also watching and he confirmed it. Hehe. So we finally get Venus - Justine. Justine finally gets the career Slam. Good on her. lex, it was an ugly match, but Venus was serving and moving very well. Ana had her chances, but fucked up as expected.

Justine has TOTALLY backed off on her "attack the net" plan for Wimbledon. she is 0-2 at the net today. And we all saw her screaming at Carlos after flubbing a volley in the last game of her Serena match -- she just doesn't want to do it.
Well guess what, Venus was charging the net a lot today, in preparation for the final. And if she S&V's with that huge serve of hers, JH is going to have no chance.
I'd like to see JH carry over today's 1st serve % into the final, instead of weaseling back to her Serena match numbers.

It's not a joke, it's just that in Serbia, there were no indoor tennis courts, so an Olympic-sized pool was drained, and tennis courts were created on the floor of the pool. and that's where these players practiced.

Janie, that's what she said. I didn't believe I'd heard correctly, so I asked a friend who was also watching and he confirmed it. Hehe. That is gross. I mean, the male announcers would really get slammed for making a comment like that while calling a women's match. Martina should not get away with saying what the men would not dare to say.

What made it even worse was that my sister was in the room as well and she and my friend were making fun of the commentators and I was telling her that Navratilova is one of the better ones. And then that happened.

Well, Gasquet is getting rolled. SHOW JUSTINE.
But they won't.
I'm hoping Marion can at least show some of what brought her this far. The last two games are a good start.

It's definitely become a more interesting contest. Bartoli is starting to find the range on her groundstrokes now. She's hit some tremendous shots that Justine couldn't get to or do much with, but Justine's level of play has dropped significantly as well. Some really errant forehands in particular.

Henin's forehand has really fallen apart. She's shanked consecutive returns.

Well, the Justine forehand is back and Bartoli is in trouble.
