Will it be the Mens Final that it finishes on?

PastyHusty

Yes, that'll probably be at 2 or 3 PM in the afternoon. So it won't clash directly with the Euro 2004 Final.

ForeverInLoveWithJus

At least thats a good thing.

The Queen's Final will be e repeat of last year's clash between Andy Roddick and Sebastien Grosjean. Roddick overcame Hewitt 7-6 6-3, while Grosjean had to come from a set behind to beat Taik Lee 6-7 7-6 6-2.
Sharapova will play Golovin of France, at Birmingham, in the Final.

In Halle, Federer will play Fish in the final.

Taik Lee had a great tournament, I would like Roddick to win this.

I agree Emma. Also on Roland Garros, his name popped up a few times. They're not only getting better in football, they can also play tennis.

Andy Roddick won Queens again. The American won with the same numbers as he did in the Semi-Final.

In Halle, Federer was done after only 1 hour. After the Final he went to Switzerland to watch the EC match against Croatia.

The WTA tournament in Birmingham was a teenage Final. A 16 (Golovin) plays a 17-year old (Sharapova ) ... and Maria Sharapova won her first WTA Final. Congrats to her!

One of the most beautiful images I've ever seen ...

ATP tournament 's Hertogenbosh (Holland )

Marat Safin is being subsitute by Coria. Safin was injuried, Coria is now the #1 seed.
Verkerk advances after winning his match against the Belgian talent Vliegen, 7-6 and 6-4.

Michaela Krajicek got a wildcard for the women's tournament there. Unfortunately she never ended the match. She got stomach problems and got off the field with a brancard.

... that's all for now. Let's get on with the football.

Former world number one and US Open winner Marat Safin could be a doubt for Wimbledon as he desperately tries to overcome the hand blisters which shattered his French Open campaign.

Safin has already pulled out of the's-Hertogenbosch grasscourt tournament in the Netherlands, which gets underway on Monday.

The Russian was first hampered by blisters on his hands during his third round win over Italy's Potito Starace at Roland Garros before they proved too painful to mount a significant challenge in his fourth round loss to David Nalbandian.

The Wimbledon championships, which start on June 21, have already been hit by the loss of French Open champion Gaston Gaudio of Argentina who has a foot injury.

I'm not surprised that Andy Roddick won. When his serve is on form, it's very hard to beat him. Great win for Federer too, he looks very good for finishing at #1 in the points race at this point already.

Andre Agassi has had to pull out of Wimbledon this year due to a lingering hip injury. In a statement, the former #1 said that during his preperation for Wimbledon the injury only seemed to worsen due to the nature of the surface.
Agassi's recent form has been that of a player in trouble. His defeat to Andreev at Queens last week was his 3rd defeat in a row, something Agassi hasn't faced since 1997! Agassi hopes he can return for another Wimbledon next year.

England's new young talent, Ian Flanagan, has missed out on the opportunity to play in Wimbledon as he lost his qualification match to Andy Ram. Flanagan does have a small consolation though .. his 310 place rise in the world rankings, which takes him all the way up to 556th.

Poor Andre, I hoped he would make it.
