venus williams has just won it! her power is just brutal and relentless!!!

Looking forward to federer nadal tomorrow thats gonna be classic!!!

I guess we can't be very objective when it comes to sportspeople from our country. I know I can't!

I know Nina - as if she didn't have to play and do her best to win Wimbledon. -we almost gave her the status 'untouchable'. She could only disappoint us, and winning Wimbledon would have been considered as 'logic'. She is doing a fantastic job in tennis and we Belgians tend to forget this when she loses.
And more important at the end of the day it s only a game of tennis...

Bit late now, but I've just found that studavis' snooker player thing is pretty good for tennis too . But I suppose the BBC will have other stuff to show at some point or other.

I know what you mean, we did the same here with the football team after the 2004 Euro and with many other athletes after the Olympics. The pressure on them is enormous, and they are only people after all... they are bound to lose sooner or later.
Justine Henin-Hardenne has a wonderful career and you are right to be proud of her...

Back on topic, I am hoping Nadal wins the final but I have a feeling Federer will snatch this title too...

Woo and were underway! great start from the fed! and early break! looks ike its gonna be a classic!

Im going for roger in 4 sets!

[imy147]

First set federerr! wins it in the tie break!

[imy147]

wooo 2nd set nadal! game onnnnn

[Wim]

wow all equal now - Come on Roger !!

[imy147]

wooo third set federer! could be 68-66 in the 5th set! u jus cant seperate em!

[elvaago]

Looks like tie-breaks are Federer's friend. 2-1 to the Suisserdude...

[Wim]

Nadal failing on some crucial points here - and Federer making it happen when he has to. But it' s not over yet !(what a cliché I m writing here...)

[elvaago]

Federer seems to have lost the plot. 3-0 behind in the fourth set. Nadal is serving now.

He's arguing with the ref. If he doesn't get his head on straight he's gonna lose.

[Wim]

Indeed some un-Federer behavour here, anyway I think Nadal deserves a fifth set!

[imy147]

2 sets all!!! Decider on the way!!!

[Wim]

Wooow ! What an afternoon at Wimbledon! And what a Champ this Federer is
