Wimbledon thoughts

-Watched Venus win the final this morning against this pudgy Frenchwoman named Marion Bartoli. Good to see Venus back but have to say the quality of the match was not high by any means. Both women seem to be laboring in the second set. At first glance this Bartoli girl appeared to have no business being in a grand slam final (did not appear physically fit or have a top level game) but she hung in there. Plus she was gracious during the trophy presentation speech.

-I am rooting for Nadal to win the men's final tommorrow. If I were a betting man, I would bet on Nadal for two reasons: high returns since the odds are higher against him and looks like he has gotten into Federer's head after the win at Roland Garros. That's the key at this highest level of the game, yeah Federer's game is superior on grass but execution at crucial moments is what determines the winner and I feel Federer will falter. Let's see.
