Wimbledon 2009

The old men are still hanging around.

Tommy Haas, the oldest player around, at 31 is going to the semi-finals facing one of tennis great Roger Federer. Haas was good enough to beat Djokovic in the quarter finals. People are again questioning Djokovic's physical condition. Is the guy fit to play? Is he a quitter? Can he play in rough conditions? So far the guy hasn't proved himself to be a tough player. At times he could be funny and likable but sometimes he just turns spiteful and when that happens the fans are turning their backs against him quicker that he likes.

Roddick looks more matured and he always has something interesting to say off court. "We're just a couple of old married dudes." That's how Roddick describes himself and Hewitt whom he defeated on his way to the semi meeting another Andy, Andy Murray, Britain's only hope to win in like 1000 years, the championship. Andy was mostly quiet and his on the court persona seemed more matured. But old habits really die hard. At some point against Hewitt, he was arguing about a line call with the chair umpire. The line person was summoned. I don't like it at all. It's just distracting. He should just stay focused and played the match. Marriage and a new coach are helping Roddick.

The news just got in. We are going to have yet another Williams sisters final. BORING. I think they totally earned and deserved it. No other players can play as consistent as the sisters. Venus spent less than 51 minutes to dispatch Safina, the number one that has yet to win a slam title. Safina, what can I say? It was painful to watch her play the French final this year. The girl just gone bonkers and kept looking up for her coach for acceptance and guidance. It was awful to see her broken down like that in a Grand Slam event.

Got to go now...
