Wimbledon # 4

OH MY GOODNESS! They had to suspend 12 matches today which means the mens finals may be on MONDAY!!! That CAN'T happen!!!

Well, it's a very sad summer when there is no time to watch Wimbledon. In fact, it's down right tragic.
Things are going as usual on the grass courts of Wimbledon: big names are winning and the rains are pouring! I was talking to a photographer today and we discussed the negative effects we think the new retractable roof will have on the atmosphere of Wimbledon.

In 2009 there will be a new roof nstalled at Centre Court. It is retractable and will keep out the rains but to be honest, I think this cheats the fans and players out of an experience that is unique to Wimbledon.

Sure, I know it can be stressful when you're in the middle of watching your favorite players only to find out they will finish the match you have waited all year to see on the next day.

I think there is something special about the anticipation that arises when you have to wait. I think the roof is an easy way out. I mean come on, when it's raining and the roof is covering the courts, they're not going to say "We'll it's raining, let's uncover the court and take five."

I think it's probably fun for everyone not knowing what's going to happen, at least for the fans.

So tomorrow is going to be an amazing day. The line up has some surprises in store...I'm sure of it.

Andy Roddick and Paul-Henri Mathieu will finish their match followed by a Williams' sister attack. Venus will take on Sharapova (be sure to mute your TVs, this will be a loud match) and then a Serena and Justine Henin match (this will very exciting considering Henin beat Serena on clay). I'm really hoping that Serena will pull through even after her injury. Rafael Nadal will also take on Robin Soderling of Sweden ranked 28.

I'm wondering if Federer is going to play again.

Come back tomorrow for my opinions on the matches of the day.
