Are YOU watching too?

For the 3rd year running, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer will battle it out on the grass at Center Court this morning ... just as soon as the rain stops.

Each is seeking a 'record' here and the match should be a highly competitive one ... exciting to watch.


Roger is going for his 6th Wimbledon win in a row and Rafa his 1st ... but if Nadal emerges victorious, he'll be the first man since Borg to win the French Open and Wimbledon titles back to back.


Yesterday's Women's Championship between the Williams sisters was fun to watch, however it ended too soon. I was hoping for a 3rd set!

Serena got off to a fine start breaking big sister early, but once Venus broke back ... there was no stopping her. They both played magnificently, but in the end ... Venus served extremely well (right into Serena's body repeatedly) and moved beautifully all over the court ... winning the match (7-5, 6-4) and the title for the 5th time!

Later in the day the sisters won the Doubles Championship together (6-2, 6-2) ... but I wasn't able to watch that match because of no television coverage here in the States. I'm hoping to see bits & pieces in today's coverage ... especially since it looks like there will be some rain delays.

Addendum at 4:35pm - It was a long, exciting match (longest in Wimbledon history actually) with a couple of 'rain delays.' Rafa won the first 2 sets (6-4, 6-4) and Roger the next 2 sets (7-6, 7-6). The 5th set continued well past 9:20pm ... but Nadal emerged victorious at 9-7. This is a Championship Match to be remembered for sure! NBC did air part of yesterday's Women's Doubles match, so I enjoyed seeing the William's sisters play well together.

Afterwards, Molly and I took a longish walk then I chatted with my 'Writers Retreat Buddy, Jan' ... so it's late and I've not done any blog visiting. I'm not sure how much energy I'll have this evening, but I'll see what I can do between now and dinner time. I hope you've all had a delightful Sunday!
