Wimbledon and Federer

So, it had already been the second week of Wimbledon, and I must say that it had passed by me very quickly. I just didn't have the time to catch up with the tournament, and I just realised that Murray had a great chance to win it. Only Djorkovic stood a chance of stopping him. And also Del Potro.

It was sad to see how Federer had to bow down after providing us with great entertainment over the years. It unfortunately looked like his days at the top are numbered. Wimbledon was clearly suited for his style of play, and after winning it seven times, it was hard to see him taking another Grand Slam title.

Serena Williams also had a slip today, being outgunned by a lower ranked German player. And it was a great game as well.

As it stood at the moment, I would be betting on Murray.

Quick Look at The Final

Just having a breather after quite a long day. Catching up with the French Open Ladies Final. And it looked like Serena was getting the better of Sharapova. Another break on the second set. It would be curtains soon if Sharapova didn't get her act together.

Maybe I'd call it the night and return to the apartment after the match is done. So far, it was more of a groanfest than a spectacle.

Rooting

Guess who I was rooting for? Of course it would be the great Roger Federer going for another Wimbledon title. On his way was Andy Murray. And playing at home turf, of course the crowd would be behind Murray.

The start was more than Murray would have dreamt of. He broke Federer's serve in the first game, and held his own in the next game. But like all thoroughbred champion, Federer replied quickly. And we would be for a treat. Murray was really pushing it, and at times, Federer was just about hanging on. Great stuff!

Yes! Roger did it in four sets!

Tennis Time

Time to chill after the morning clinic and what more can I ask but a quick coffee in front of the TV watching a spot of live tennis. What's on offer? Murray playing his first round match at the Aussie Open. A bit one-sided though.

I might just race things through and get out early as I have to sort out some stuff at the bank. But, on with the tennis first.
