She deserved to win but it was close with some long rallies and Capriati was gritty throught out and kept her cool I think the stats will show that serena had a lot more unforced errors but that was the case in the first set yet she won it

Well, i'm down to my last pick Joachim Johannson, and if he wins the tournament i should be in for a big collect

That's a mighty big IF. Didn't you have a bet on Federer as well?

One of those line calls was an absolute shocker! It wasn't even on the outside of the line, it was on the inside of the line and called out!!! Not sad to see her go though. At least we won't have to look at those disgraceful outfits. Somebody really needs to tell her she looks horrid in them.

Had a small bet on Davenport pre-tournament. Starting to wish I'd had more on.

Once again Im on the other side of the fence Im not a serena fan but Im not one to be critical of what they wear If the tournament organisers set or dont set a dress code is up to them (In saying that she does look terrible well un tennislike at least)but Im sorry Let em wear what they will .
I was sitting watching that match the commentators from australia were sitting there criticising the way Old man williams was training them and he should be doing this and that an bla bla .Thats what gets me snarky who are they to tell people how when or where they should play etc then half an hour later they were giving it to roddick about his shirt for christ sake I suppose I find those things on the petty side .Who cares what he was wearing He coulda been wearing a ************ gorilla suit and his oppo still woulda been standing there watching the balls fly past him.I admire the wiiliams because they live in a fishbowl and because of their flamboyance they have ruffled a lot of feathers .Yet theyre always civil and have a laugh with the press >>the debacle at wimbledon was one thing and then that umpire today overuled on the call on the other side of the court .If it was mcenroe(who I a was/ am a fan of)would still be standing there now until he got it over turned .She had her say and walked away .what bothered me was I had my money on she was starting to self destruct as i thought might happen (with Capriatis help ) then she got angry and started grunting harder I thought it was going to spur her on haha .
Any way Im just gunna pull Trigger over to rail here and hop down ...Jeez the high horses have got long legs

Yes, sportz i did back Federer, but if he wins i only get a tiny collect...
