Worrisome Wimbledon Woes...

It was another day of upsets at the All-England Club today. (Isn't that a snotty name? Leave it to the Brits!) My girl, Justine Henin-Hardenne, was upset by Eleni Daniilidou (Greece). I knew Eleni would give Justine a run for her money, but I didn't think it would be a marathon in which Justine couldn't keep up. At this point, the ladies' draw on that side of the tournament is wide open! Well, Sharapova is the clear favorite, but who can say? With all of the upsets, predictions are reduced to educated guesses.

Wait a minute: isn't that what predictions are, anyway? Silly me.

The official "Match of the Day Award" undoubtedly has to go to Tiger-Tim Henman. He was two sets down and then pulled it out. Henman isn't new to these super-human efforts. Today's squeak-by marks the seventh time in his professional career that Tim has pulled off this type of victory. I should do some research for the purpose of finding out if any other player has done it that many times. It's fairly remarkable, which is why I'm making my remarks about it!

My stats are staying pretty consistent. Just like yesterday, there is one uncompleted men's match hanging out there. As of now, I'm batting .640 on the women's side and .730 on the men's. I guess as long as I stay above .500, I'll be happy. I think I'm doing pretty well considering it's my first attempt.

My picks for Day Three? Federer, Keifer, Ferrer, Verdasco, Johansson, Gonzalez, Youzhny, Davydenko, Hewitt, Massu, Dent, burgsmuller, Ancic, Hrbaty, Lopez, and Safin.

For the ladies: Davenport, Safina, Vinci, Clijsters, Arvidsson, Maleeva, Vaidisova, Kuznetsova, Mauresmo, Tanasuqarn, Farina, Likhovtsera, Myskina, Jankovic, Washington, and Dementieva.

Today's "predict pefectly" tip: Think long and hard before choosing a clay courter to win on grass. There have been plenty of Spaniards, French, and Germans to win the tourney, but the clay court specialists seem to struggle on grass more than others.

Let's hear a big 'woohoo' for Wimbers! ....why is my voice the only one I hear?
