Hot off the heels of an amazing French Open, the men and women now turn to the grass courts of Wimbledon. Can Rafa continue with his momentum, or can Novak wrestle it back? Can Federer rise up and collect another slam? Can Murray get a breakthrough slam in front of his home crowd? Will there be a darkhorse shocker like Tomic :side: to come through and take the world by storm?

I'm thoroughly looking forward to this event, it's my favourite slam and I'm really hoping to see some great tennis on display. As far as the ladies go, you'd have to think Sharapova, Kvitova, Serena, Azarenka etc will all be in the mix, Stosur a slight chance provided she doesn't choke it up in monumental fashion, and well, who knows with the women, Wozniacki might even break through and break her duck.

June 25th, can't come soon enough.

It was a dramatic match, but the quality of tennis wasn't great. Depends which viewpoint you take.

Azarenka has come quite a long way in terms of mental maturity. She used to be a drama queen, but now she seems to keep her emotions in check more.

I hope for a great mens final tonight. Don't care who wins really, so i'll be watching from a neutral stand point

Serena completely owned that last set.

Nice choke-job by Azarenka.

Thank god that's over. I've had the match on mute but I'm sure my neighbours would still've heard Azarenka grunting through that.

Great effort from Azarenka after losing the first set. She really should've served it out, but at least she proved that she can compete with Serena and that she's not a mockery of a world number one like that dickhead believed the other day.

Now for the big one tomorrow. Come on Andy!8*D

Cool it on the insults, Nige.

Yep, it's all about tomorrow. Hoping that Murray can take it and I'm going to believe in him, rather than taking the easy route and saying "but I think Djokovic will win". Murray to win it in 5.

Feeling a bit sad for Chokarenka right now. She's a class act.

What a great professional Serena is. Could have finished it an hour but wanted to give her fans a show. Made everyone think she lost it and then turned it back on at the end. Not just a great Tennis player but a great entertainer. What a woman.

Yeah she lost it in the second set and at points in the 3rd. That was the only way anyone was getting a snif against her. Thankfully she was playing Azarenka who's a pretty comfortable #2 and probably the only player who could stretch her to the limit once she dropped off just a little. Didn't think it was a choke job by Azarenka. Yeah she was serving for the match but Serena clearly turned it back for them final games. Ridiculously good. Terrific final set from an entertainment standpoint. Amazes me though how mentally poor all the womens players are right now, even Serena who can crumble when she goes behind.

So excited for the final, I just have this feeling Murray will win. Will be tremendous to see if he does. Come on Andy!!!

Didn't catch the womens final yesterday but as I predicted, a Azarenka/Williams final was bound to be ten times as good as Sharapova getting destroyed...again. Major credit to Serena for fighting back and never giving up in that final, true champion. Age 30 and going strong!
