Davenport for sure, the other Semi is debatable. Venus is bacik to good form, Sharapova was shaky v Dechy and Petrova.

Sadly, in the mens, Federer, Hewitt, Roddick will all get through. Johansson v Nalbandian too close too call

[BigSister]

Hewitt and Federer safely through to the semis

[BigSister]

Venus is through Lance

[InTheHood]

Venus v Davenport/Mauresmo....looks like Davenport sadly. Mauresmo has let Davenport off the hook (No Maxwell pun intended)

Want Mauresmo, but if it's Davenport in final, want Venus. Can't stand Munterport. She was alright until 3 or 4 years ago when she accused an umpire of being corrupt for an overrule and that she was going to report him and end his career. Showed a nasty side.

Federer v Roddick final, I hope not. Want Hewitt v Johansson.

If it is Federer v Roddick, i'd want Federer. Roddick is ungraceful

[BigSister]

Mens I proably agree with you there ITH because I prefer Hewitt to Federer and I have Johannson in a sweep im doing but it proably be Federer vs Roddick

[Slartibartfast]

I've given up on the tennis, now that my future wife to be was destroyed yesterday by Williams.

Still, I'll watch the finals, womens is likely to Williams v Davenport (don't really like either but I'll probably end up going for Williams).

Men, I'd rather see Roddick or Hewitt in the final, as I don't really like Federer but whoever it is Federer is likely to win it!

[Lance]

Thank God Venus Williams is back on form.

I cannot see why there is so much negativity surrounding her and it really shows that the BBC comentators(ie Pam Shriver) is totally anti-Williams.

I am delighted to see Venus back at her best and she can take the #1 ranking back.If it wasn't for Venus and Serena the womens game would not in any way have progressed as much as it has done in the last few years.Well done to Venus.

And congrtas to Federer.....yet again.

[Mike]

I missed the mens final because i was working, just watched the highlights though and Federer was class.

[Lance]

He is a cut above everyone else.Rodick was just blown away from the start.Shame it wasn't a bit more closely contested like the womens final.

[BigSister]

Yeah he was great Lance I agree

[Lance]

the men's game is lacking a bit in diversity though don't ya think.It's a shame to see Federer dominating so much.

[InTheHood]

Mens game is boring, I wouldn't expect Venus to play that well off of grass

[Lance]

Yep ITH it really is lacking in diversity at the moment and it's becoming a bit repetitive with the Fedrer/Roddick Slam finals....and TBH does Roddick ever have th ehope of beating Roger?At this stage no.

However the women's game has many potential winners and some great players that make the game a joy to watch.

As for Venus adapting....she has just played in the Fed Cup for the USA against Russia on clay,she lost her opening match to Myskina,probably because she found it hard to adapt to clay but she beat Dementieva in the reverse singles.

[InTheHood]

Gasquet is coming through for the men and is possibly the new Federer, even before the old one has gone

Dementieva is rubbish though, yeah she got to French Open Final, on clay, but her serve is slower than an 80 year olds. I've no idea how she is so high in the world.

The womans game has so many possibly champs though, from the Russians to Davenport, Willliams x2, Clijsters, Henin-Hardenne, Mauresmo and it's not ace after ace after non returnable

[Lance]

Yeah true about Dementieva...she's not really outsstanding mind you she did reach the US semi's last year didn't she?So she is consistant,her games not top class though.

[InTheHood]

She'd be better with a serve of sorts, but Venus would have just overpowered her, whereas someone like Mauresmo, Myskina, Henin-Hardenne et al, have far more intelligent games which are more useful off of grass

[1_In_A_Million]

i wasn't that into wimbolden

[1_In_A_Million]

as you can see i can't even spell it lol

Mauresmo isn't that great though.She doesn't have nything outstanding in her game and that is why she won't be a tennis legend.She has a good serve a good backhand good volleying...nothing outstanding.

She has a good all round game but she is not excellent at anything. I think she will never win a major title.

[Z]

I get this impression Amelie Mauresmo is a lesbian...?




I'm so into tennis!

I totally love watching all these comebacks! Venus did well to win.

I had written her off last year!

All things considered, not one of us Scots really gives a damn about Andy Murray. Sure he's the "new hope" *btw ITH, I agree with the Scots = Scots and then Scots = British thing! * but all things considered, he will fade away.

Well done for 3rd round though mate.

Men's game is so dying.

Federer needs to take after Martina Hingis and get a career ending injury, thus opening up the game again.

That's the only way I see Roddick becoming number 1, or anyone else for that matter.

Nadal is so crap! Why does everyone find him so good???

I agree with the Dementieva comment lol.

I miss Amanda Coetzer... boo.

Where did Capriati go? Did she retire or something...?

And I hope Ai Sugiyama will eventually do well.

She's such a waster!

[Z]

Oh yeah, forgot to add:

Why do the Swiss produce good players, just never at the same time...?

*Patty Schnyder, Martina Hingis, Roger Federer...*

Lol, I don't think Sharapova ever finished puberty.

She kinda grew tall, just never filled out...

That explains the voice being so high!

Hopefully the Williams sisters will fade away now, quietly. They did their job well, opening up the women's game.

But now they're annoying...

[Tanser_Man]

I lost interest when that scottish kid forgot to eat his weetabix.

[Lance]

Scottish kid being Murray?
