McEnroe: “The greatest match I’ve ever seen.” Yes, that’s the same McEnroe who played Borg in the 1980 Wimbledon final.

‘Nuff said.

Williams v. Williams. Wow. Wimbledon becomes Williamsdon.

Where did these two even come from? They didn’t make girls like that when I was 20. Shoot. They didn’t make boys like that when I was 20.

If I had to play either one of them I’d run screaming for my mom. They are en fuego.

Congrats, Venus!

Looks like an all-Williams final at Wimbledon. My money’s on Venus–has she even broken a sweat yet?

LOVE this shot of Murray–Great Britain’s last chance

I have never seen Jelena give a bad interview–and her smile is infectious

Venus’s 127-mph serve was the fastest ever for a woman at Wimbledon (btw, in an interview yesterday Serena said she does not cuss–I totally dig that!)

The future Mrs. Shannon Beasley lost yesterday. She totally needs me there to console her!

LOVE this photo of Blake

Pretty much sums it up for Sharapova (and me)

And this pretty much sums it up for Roddick (and me)

Roger probably hit a winner from here

Remember my prediction: Rafa wins this year

Maybe it’s #3 that’s unlucky and not #13. Djokovic and Sharapova are now gone, both seeded #3.

Also gone today: Roddick, Blake, and Davenport.

I knew I should have entered Wimbledon this year!

Shocking! No, not Maria Sharapova’s Wimbledon “tuxedo” outfit, which is not en fuego, IMHO.

Shocking is Novak Djokovic, the #3 player in the world, losing today. Wimbledon started, like, 5 minutes ago, and he’s already gone.

That breeze you felt was #2 and #1 both breathing a big sighs of relief.

Today’s New York Times has a fun story on odd ticks players have between points, for example, Rafa’s butt picking and Djokovic’s ball bouncing. I don’t have time for either of those–I’m usually too busy praying for God to get me out of the mess I’ve gotten myself into in each game!

Djokovic typically starts by bouncing the ball on the ground with his racket before shifting the ball to his left hand, leaning forward and continuing his routine by bouncing the ball 8, 9, 10, sometimes 25 more times before tossing it into the air, arching his back and slamming an often marvelous serve…. Nadal has more elaborate behaviors that have nothing to do with his wicked left-handed hooking forehand. There will be kangaroo jumps in the locker room, ultra-precise drink bottle positioning on changeovers, obsessive toweling off between points and equally obsessive wiping of the lines between points with a sneaker sole, even when those lines are already clean. Above all, there is his backward grab at the seat of his tennis shorts.
