Day 6; The Omen-causer is Out
James Blake, the one, who I think is responsible for yesterdays-omen-day, causing a string of top seeds and favorites to fall out of the Tennis tournament, has lost today.
He was playing brilliant against another brilliant player, named, Fernando Gonzalez of Chile. The match was very close, with Fernando Gonzalez prevailing 11-9 in the last set.
Fernando Gonzalez d. James Blake 4-6 7-5 11-9 in 2h52. Stats are here.

Day 5; Matches I look out for III
2nd Match, Centre Court, Friday 27th of June
VS 
9 - 2
The 6th seed, Serena Williams, will face 29th seeded, Amelie Mauresmo, in her 3rd round at Wimbledon. Serena Williams leads the head to head, and has defeated Amelie Mauresmo 2 times at Wimbledon in the past. We know that Amelie Mauresmo, has an hip injury, that she needed to withdrew from doubles, whether it’s a hoax or prevention, we’ll find out tomorrow. Either way, this in a blockbuster between former winners, Serena Williams, being the multiple former winner. It will be a tight 2 sets win, in favor for Serena Williams.
C’mon Rena !
1st Match, Court 1, Friday 27th of June
VS 
0 - 1
My favorite player on the men’s side, Simone Bolelli of Italy, will face the 20th seeded Australian, Lleyton Hewitt. Simone Bolelli has confidence, because he’s in his first 3rd round at Wimbledon ever. He also just defeated the 14th ranked player in the world, Fernando Gonzalez. If he can play the way he played to Gonzalez, and keep the errors low, he can drive the Australian crazy. Being the underdog or the favorite, it doesn’t matter. If Simone Bolelli can keep his head cool, produce less errors and keeps playing aggressive, he has a chance to beat Lleyton Hewitt. Let’s take revenge for your loss last year caused by Lleyton.
Forza Simo !

I don’t know much about the Polish pair, but I can tell, If Serena and Venus play like they played their first doubles match, on tuesday, they will not have a lot of chances, and the sisters will prevail in 2 sets.
Day 2; Venus Williams Glamours 7-6 6-1
The second favorite of mine at the ladies side, Venus Williams, has safely passed onto the next round, beating Naomi Cavaday.
Naomi Cavaday impressed Venus Williams with her form on court, citating;
“She played really great today, especially in that first set,” said Williams, who was playing her first grasscourt match of the year. “I was very impressed with her game.”
After a hard fought first set, where Venus Williams prevailed with 7-6 (5). She swept through the second set, by raising her form. She took the set by 6-1 in 21 minutes. To eventually win the match by 7-6 6-1 in 1 hour and 17 minutes.
Venus Williams, next to Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova also set a fashion standard by wearing an elgant white dress. More about that will be revealed in my next post.
