Well I have not been able to blog lately due to lots of hours on the court and a 48 hour trip to DC that wiped me out. However I did catch the women's final and most of the men's final - and how incredible were they. First off the WILLIAMS SISTERS were on fire Saturday. Together they went home with $2.5 million dollars - thats pretty good for two weeks work. I really enjoyed watching that match because of how well they both played. They really rose to the occasion and won points by winners rather than unforced errors. Venus is now 2-6 against here lil sister in grand slams. Serena made her work for it but in the end her serving and body language let her down. Venus served great and was able to play the big points well!! HER 5th WIMBLEDON!!! Losing is hard but imagine losing to your sister at the Wimbledon finals, where you are points away from the first set, and then having to play doubles together? We could all tell that loss was tough on Serena but she handled it well and bounced back to play well for the doubles title!
Now the BOYS! Obviously this went down in the history books and will be a Wimbledon Classic for years to come. The improvement in Nadal's game was so impressive this tournament and it showed more against Federer in the final set. While Federer's serve and forehand brokedown - Nadal actually served better and his backhand was unbelievable. Federer has said this was his hardest loss ever but followed it with Rafa is a deserving champion. Nadal showed his respect by saying that Federer is one of the best players in history. Do you respect your opponents like that?
What a tournament and it finished in style!! What a turn of events - Nadal first guy to win the French and then Wimbledon back to back since Bjorg. Watch out for him at the US OPEN!
