It is the time of year again where people rush too come and see there favorites players play, and munch on there strawberries and cream. This year it has had everything happen you would like too see in a tennis tournement.(Shocks and New talent) I am going to go through each of the rounds best games amd highlights. Round 1 Mens Game Chris Woodruff bt Jan-Michael Gambill (6-4 3-6 6-7 6-3 6-2) One of the big suprises in the first round of the mens game. This was because of the immaculate performance of Gambill in lasts years Wimbledon. He was favoured to probably get through to the fourth round but it did not happen this year.

Well what a turn up for the books. Sampras went down in five sets to Escude and Hewitt in five also. This surely must be Henmans best ever chance of taking the title and bringing back glory to british tennis. Sampras has not looked himself to me all through this years tournament and for Hewitt its just to soon. The only threat to Henmans dream i believe is the mighty Agassi. Although as i right this Henman and Martin are a set a piece and its close. Agassi is playing the best tennis i've ever seen him play and looks very strong my moneys still on him. Escude is a good outside bet after knocking both grosjean and Sampras out. Let's ...  Read the complete review

(to the tune of anything you like) Sampras lost, sampras lost, sampras lost Thank god! I'm not saying Sampras is not a good player but another final with him winning? Boring wouldn't have been in it. For anyone who watched it was a stunning match. I originally flicked it on and off in the belief that there was no way that a 19-year-old could upset what would have been sampras's 8th win. Federer, a former Wimbledon junior champion, had never played sampras before I think he surprised him Sampras looked stressed and worn out throughout the match. Federer, who is Swiss, has previously reached the last 8 in the french ...  Read the complete review

What a game! In my humble opinon, this one was the game of the tournament. It was a case of the power and agression of Venus Williams against the (for want of a better word) more 'traditional' game of Martina Hingis. With Hingis resplendent from the back of the court, consistently catching Williams out with beautifully struck top-spin lobs and Williams a giant at the net, persistently sticking to her plan to come in, and burying some gorgeous volleys. Williams stole the first set, as both players traded booming shots. Williams reminded me of the multi-championship winning Pete Sampras, with the mighty serve, but cleverly mixing in ...  Read the complete review

Well, today is the 10th day of the Wimbledon's championships. The men's quarterfinals will start soon. The blockbuster of the day would be the match between booming server Mark Philippoussis against the American Andre Agassi. The grit and determination which Philippoussis showed in his last two matches were just tremendous. Most people would have buckled under such physical and mental strain. But his skill and mental toughness pulled him through. However, the match up with Agassi would be a different proposition. Agassi has lightning reflexes and is widely regarded as the best returner in the world at the moment. Phillippoussis will need to serve really ...  Read the complete review
