Tennis! French Open, Wimbledon, etc.

Is anyone watching the French Open?

I love this tournament. The clay always makes it so interesting. Looks like there's already been quite a few upsets and close matches. I can't believe Venus and Serena are both out of it already!

Still haven't gotten over Justine Henin retiring so suddenly. That was crazy. That leaves the women's game so up in the air. I guess Sharapova would be favored at this point, but I'm hoping for someone else to sneak it and take it.

For the men... well, I don't think anyone's beating Nadal on clay.

I'm betting on Nadal as well, but we'll see. I'm generally annoyed by the Williams sisters but was sorry to see Henin go.

Who's watching Wimbledon?

This has been such a crazy tournament so far! I wasn't sad to see Sharapova and Jankovic go out earlier than expected, but was pretty bummed about Ana Ivanovic. The Chinese and Thai players have really had an incredible run on the women's side!

Was happy to see the outcome of the Federer/Hewitt match, as well.

Was sort of hoping that some new, young talent would come through and take a realistic shot at the finals, but in looking at the remaining players I'm pretty sure we'll end up with Federer/Nadal and Williams/Williams finals. Not that those aren't great match ups.... was just hoping for something different.

Who's excited for a Williams v. Williams final? I am!!

I am more excited by the thought of The Fed winning 6 consecutive Wimbledons. I find when the Williams sisters play each other the match tends to not live up to expectations.

My TIVO cut off the last set of the men's Wimbledon finale!! :eek: Did this happen to anyone else? I am so bummed... what I saw of the match was absolutely epic. I felt like I was watching history, like people are going to be talking about that match for a long time.

I still don't know who won. I'm going to try to stay off the internet today and catch a rerun on the tennis channel tonight. DYING to see the end!

I couldn't believe it when I got home at 4:00 and it was still going on! We left at the beginning of the 3rd and thought it would over in a flash.

We were glued to the TV yesterday. What a match!!! I actually cried... I'm a sap.

I finally finished watching it. WOW. I feel like I've just seen the ultimate tennis match of all time. Totally incredible.
