Show 'em haters 

dinozzo:
So does anyone think Federer is the greatest on grass?

Of course yes, he just proved it once again.  Though, his reign is gradually coming to an end, no thanks to the more physically fit and tireless spaniard.

Nadal breaks back - it's 3-2 Federer.

The final match between the top two seeds is in progress.

Federer leads Nadal 3-0 (first set).

Congrats Venus!

Yea! It's another Fed-Rafa Final.

Federer cruised to the final. He crushed Gasquet 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.

While tireless Rafa took advantage of Djoko's injury. He won 3-6, 6-1, 4-1. (Djoko retired in the third set).

Federer takes the first set 7-5.

Djoko also leads Rafa by a set - the first set ended 6-3.

The much expected semi-final between Rafa and Djoko is in progress. Djoko is a break up as he leads 3 - 0 in the first set.

Gasquet is also slugging it out with the World number one on the centre court.

"I can't believe it. I'm so excited," the 22-year-old Bartoli told BBC Sport.

"It's a dream come true. If you told me that I would make the final before the tournament, I wouldn't have believed you.

"I didn't start well. It was so stressful being on Centre Court for the first time. But then I saw Pierce Brosnan in the crowd and he's one of my favourite actors so I just tried to play a little better."

See wetin inspire this frenchwoman.

No probs, let's just see how Nadal copes with Djokovic, first. Whoever Fed plays with doesn't matter, he's in the final already.

This is so unbelievable. Great fighting spirit by the frenchwoman.

You got to the final last year and lost, now it's the semis. Hope Nadal follows suit.

Henin's in big trouble - she's struggling with her serves. Bartoli leads the third set 3 - 0.

Wow!   18th seed, Bartoli takes a set off Henin. It's 6-1, 5-7 at the mo'.

Roddick leads Gasquet two sets to one. The fourth set is underway.

Serena's injury forces Williams sisters to doubles sidelines

Aw! I'm so sorry for Serena. I love her but I prefer Henin's game to hers. Hope her sister gets past Kuznetsova to give Henin a run for her money in the finals.

;d  ;d ;d

mimicking viee

can you see what am saw?

When will Sharapova solve her problems with big-hitters? She so much relies on her big forehand that she neglects her other weapons, if any.

The goal post did its best to help the Gambians.

What a goal by the mexicans!

Poland beat Brazil 1 - 0

Gonzo, Blake (not surprising), Ljubicic have all bowed out in the third round.

As expected, Federer n Roddick are in full control.

I pity the guy. He has some dangerous opponents coming his way - Soderling, Youzhny, Berdych. Even if he makes it past those three, Djokovic/Hewitt would be waiting.
