No Big Surprises for the 2008 Wimbledon
Monday, June 30th, 2008I think that Justine Henin’s surprise retirement was the only shock in the tennis world so far this season. Almost everyone predicted that Nadal would win the French Open and now that we are in the middle of Wimbledon, it’s not surprise to see Roger Federer knocking his opponents out of the tournament. In fact, I think that he will win for a sixth straight year and I think that this year he will beat Nadal.
I predict that one of the Williams sisters will win the Wimbledon for the women’s singles. It might even be them playing against each other. I think this must be difficult for their father because in order for one of his daughters to win, one must lose. I have seen him sit right at the court line when they play each other so as not to show that he wants one to win over the other. I bet the girls enjoy playing against each other though.
So while it is predictable, I think the tennis season is interesting if you look a bit deeper into the players lives. Roger Federer surely wants to beat his nemesis, Nadal. Nadal surely wants to knock Federer out of the number one spot. Henin is watching from the sidelines and probably enjoying not having to play. And the Williams sisters are preparing to play against each other once again.
