The Championships'08

Crazy Wimbledon.

That's right. This Wimbledon has everything aligned for some truly memorable, exciting, annoying, and hist0ry-breaking results. For starters, Roger's record is on the line, and somehow it would not be altogether shocking for him to lose here. Still, as we learned in France, he can play subpar and still book himself a spot in the final. I just don't know. I hate Djokovic to death and have him going out to Hot Marat in Round 2. The chances this will happen are miniscule. But I have to do it. Meanwhile, Venus and Serena are on opposite sides of the draw, and what a return to yesteryear with an all-Williams final! They bring their stuff to England. Serena's half is easier I think. But Venus I think refuses to lose to Maria at Wimbledon, but can Venus get past Jankovic, who is the last person to beat her at Wimbledon, and the only one to do so, besides Serena, in forever. Also, Maria will be wearing shorts. I would have thought after last year's third round defeat at the US Open, she might have learned to eschew such publicizing and glorifying her outfits and stick to tennis. I hope we don't see the same result!
