WIMBLEDON 2008

The weather has been great, the shocks numerous and the quality of the tennis, on the whole, pretty good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Welcome back Mario.

Good to see Ancic in great form - but in the end Roger Federer proved to be just too strong.

Hopefully the popular Croat will challenge again next year.

                    

        

 

 

 

The new doubles pairing that seems to be working so far. Britain's

Jamie Murray and 'The Beast' Max Mirnyi. They made it into the third round, but that was it for this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                          

With the departure of Sharapova, Ivanovic and Mauresmo, the way looks clear for another Williams victory..could it be Serena this year?

          

It's hard to look beyond the Fed Express for a sixth consecutive title at Wimbledon..but Rafa is certainly coming up on the rails.

By the way the pic was taken during the knock-up, so it was not a foot fault.

                         

Here is the only man who can realistically stop Federer, surely? Even after damaging his knee (apparently) Rafael Nadal was still far too strong for...

                         

                           Mikael Youzhny and then for Andy Murray.

                          

                              but there is one Russian who is still very much in the competition...

                              well done Marat Safin for making the semi-finals.
