Well the Germany vs. Turkey game was one of the best I didn't see because the feed kept getting lost. Thanks mother nature.
The beautiful Spanish to go all the way! That's right, I'm making the jump and placing my bet! Go Spain!
Allright deer! I'm holding against it!
Germany will win!

Wimbledon has the day off, good tournament so far. I would love to watch Jelena Jankovic win her first grand slam.

Well, I wanted Germany to win.
But still, it was a good game. The goal was actually quite funny (for me, not for the Germans of course), misunderstanding between Lehmann and Lahm. Well, but Spain did deserve the victory so I'm finer with it...

Meanwhile, all you British can rejoice, Andy Murray just played one of the best matches I've ever seen in a 5 set, come-from-behind win over Gasquet to advance into the quarter-finals. British hopes are still alive in their own championship.
Little late, but that's okay :). I wanted Germany to win, but Spain played a great match. I'm a huge fan of Silva and Villa so to see them win it was a nice consolation. It's a shame Villa had to be injured for the match, I'm sure Spain would of scored more goals if they had him in the squad.
Onto tennis now, sorry England! Murray played decent, but had no chance against Nadal. I'm hoping Nadal can win it this year, but Federer is still king. Did anyone see Federer's match today? 1st set was ~20 minutes and the 1st game of the 3rd set was ~20 minutes! What a game, Federer just kept battling back to deuce. In just that game Federer displayed so much talent. The way he moved and the way he kept his composure. Some of his shots were so perfect. Just witnessing that game was enough to make my day, even without watching the whole match.

Oh my god that was an excellent match. It's ashame Nadal won cause I hate him so much. I hope Federer destroys him if they meet. I'm also not a fan of Serena Williams. Venus I can stand, but Serena can roll over and die, and I'm really upset she beat the Chinese player Zheng, whom is one of the best doubles players around. Her climb to the final weeks of a grand slam's singles petition has been long overdue.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Williams either. There's no doubting it though, they do have tremendous talent. I just hope it's not a Williams final because I definitely wont be watching the final if it's them two.
I only got to watch the first four games of the Clement match, but it was enjoyable. I couldn't believe how up and down these two guys were. When ever you thought one would take control of the match, the other would crawl right back. I don't think Nadal will have trouble with Schuettler, but Federer will face a tough match against Safin.

Yeah I like how Safin's exploded onto the scene again. His sister Dinara Safina is really fun to watch and I wanted her to win the French Open so badly (I like Ivanovic, just wanted Safina more). It was also disappointing to watch Jankovic lose AGAIN. She drives her fans (like me) crazy with the way she'll advance deep and then completely fall apart to the worst of opponents.
I don't follow Jankovic, but from what you said it sounds like she needs some time to gain experience in order to handle the pressure of the late rounds. I follow Ivanovic and was disappointed when she lost to Zheng.
So it's a Federer vs Nadal final, should be entertaining and I think the game is up for grabs. Both didn't play that well in their semi-final matches. The woman's final don't interest me anymore :(.

Federer played good against a tough Safin. I know you're disappointed in Ivanovic, but Zheng's time to burst onto the singles scene after some great consistency in the doubles is finally here, and here to stay hopefully. She's probably going to be the one to mix up the Olympic Tennis scene in a month.
