Wimbledon Semi-Finals

I wanted Tsonga to win because he'd entertained me in the quarter finals. He didn't.

Nadal and Murray play a very similar game only Nadal plays it better. The partiality of the British commentators when Murray is on court gets right up my nose.

Rafa is a beautiful man...speaking from a female point of view. I've not seen much tennis because I no longer have a television, but I've been at least checking on scores. And thank you, I do not like either of the women but if I have to pick one it will NOT be Ms. Sharapova.

I was backing Rafa to win. I have little time for nationalistic sentiment in tennis- which is a game played by individuals not teams.

Women's tennis is in a poor way right now. The Williams sisters are fading- and I don't see any great players coming up after them. The matches this year have generated very little of the excitement you find in the men's game.
