Wimbledon!

Wimbledon is drawing near! Each year I can't wait for another Wimbledon to come. This is because Wimbledon is considered the best amongst the other Grand Slams and it is considered as the pinnacle of all tennis tournaments. The oldest grand slam classed-tournament that goes back as early as 1877 now offers equal prizes for both men and women for the very first time this year. The Centre Court's roof for the 2007 tournament is being remodelled, so for the time being there will be no roofs in the centre court. But in 2008, Wimbledon's Centre Court will be equipped with a modern retractable roof that will prevent the rain from interrupting the matches in the Centre Court.

For this year's Wimbledon, In the gentlemen's section I predict that Roger Federer will seize the fifth title in a row. While Andy Roddick and the Spaniard, Rafael Nadal will vie for the other spot in the final. In the ladies' section, the title is still open equally for Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova and Amélie Mauresmo, with the Williams sisters and several Russian top-notch players are looking for a spot in the semifinal.

Ok. I don't want to write a prolix posting on Wimbledon. If you want to know more about Wimbledon there are loads of sources on the Web for you to look for. In this posting I'd just like to welcome the annual Wimbledon. Now and for the next two weeks I want to stick my butt on the couch to enjoy the full live coverage of Wimbledon and let's see who will lift the trophies!
