1 day to go
It was no surprise to me when Miss Williams took this year's womens singles title.
It was the Hardy sister of the comedy duo who came out on top just in case you haven't heard yet - and I'm not referring to the larger than life sister sitting up in the family box.
It wasn't a classic final and we had to endure another injury crisis from Venus as she left the court for treatment once more. Tournament referee Alan Mills appeared to keep Serena company while her sister was away - but she thought he was just a gopher and asked him to get her some towels. Their slaptick comedy just goes from strength to strength.
Someone needs to have a word with Venus about that bloody camera. She produced it last year and tried to steal the limelight from Serena with her photography antics - at one stage joining the motley crew of press photograhers in a hilarious moment (or was it just to block off any photos of sis?). This year she was at it again, asking some random dignitary to take a photo of her and Serena. And then when Sue Barker appeared for the interviews Venus almost grabbed the microphone, leaving Serena rueing another opportunity lost and another year gone...

| Scud versus Federer |
It seems that Federer is so nondescript as to not merit a nickname. But apparently his tennis has been good as I have heard several experts saying that he is looking like the new Sampras (but he doesn't even have a beard???). Let's hope Philippoussis plays at his best and we could have a really competitive game.

| Mixed Doubles |
In the Mixed Doubles there is a chance for Martina Navratilova to get a historic 20th Wimbledon title. But will it really finish tomorrow? Ram and Rodionova are in the final but in the other half of the draw one game is only at the quarter final stage. This means that one unfortunate couple could be turning up for the final weary from lugging their giant rackets around for 6 sets, only to meet Ram & Rodionova fresh and relaxed from a day spent sipping Robinsons Barley Water.
