I wont watch this (or well lets put it this way I cant ) I dont really have much interest either. I am rooting for Nadal, Kimmy, Justine & Venus.

Because of the fact that the World Cup matches are being played late in the evening, we can watch many matches on Wimbledon!

Roger Federer has a tough schedule with Gasquet as being his first opponent. And with Henman in the second round? Nonetheless, it's Federer who's the absolute favorite here, once again.

Krajicek's in the Final of the WTA Tournament in Holland today! She defeated #1 seed Dementieva in the Semi-Final with 1-6, 7-6, 6-4. It's a pity she'll meet Mauresmo already in the 2nd Round.

It's funny how I'm already looking further, isn't it? Like there isn't a 1st Round.

I dont know if its just me but I find it sad to see Agassi's rating so bad. I think retire Andre before you slip further down.

It's sad indeed, but there's a time to come and a time to go. But maybe he'll play well, despite the tough draw?

EDIT: I just read this on the BBC Website.

The weather forecast for the upcoming days is better, at least it is for Holland. When is the new Centre Court due to be finished?
