Spoilers- Olympic tennis

[alexrgct]

Serena is about to put the finishing touches on Wozniacki and move on to the semis. No surprise there; Caroline has absolutely no weapons with which to threaten Serena.

Djokovic has broken Jo-Willy in the first set.

Yesterday was a glorious day of tennis, and today promises to be top notch as well.

Serena rolls, faces Azarenka in the Semis. Go Serena! Get that gold for Team USA.

Go Serena!! I need to watch her previous match on replay. Looks as though she was firing on all cylinders, with turbochargers thrown in for good measure. She said herself she played 'unbelieavable'.... definitely worth a watch.

Keep it up !

Maria crushed Kim in the first set. One set away from two hot Russians named Maria in the semis!

How the hell can any tennis day be glorious when Venus loses?

How the hell can any tennis day be glorious when Venus loses?

Because every round of 16 singles match (men's and women's) was played, with everything on the line, with the extra tension of best-of-three sets for the men, and at the All England Club at Wimbledon on top of that? No matter the outcome of any individual match, that was glorious. Rarely have I been happier I work from home.

Tomorrow we have both men's and women's semis, which are four tremendous matchups:

Murray vs. Djokovic- the headliner. It's going to be pandemonium at Wimbledon. And BTW, Murray may get more of a homecourt advantage than he does at the Wimby tourney; far rowdier fans.

Serena-Azarenka- the world #1 vs the best player in the world

Federer-Del Potro- rematch of the 2009 US Open final, a match Federer will never forget...or forgive

Sharapova-Kirilenko- two beatiful Russians battling for a spot in the gold medal match. The most aesthetically pleasing match of the day

I mean, how can you not be pumped up for that?

Well, ok, but you COULD make a sorrowful bow for a few seconds.
