Nadal v Bagdaitis should be a good match.

I'm gonna be supporting Nadal as usual. But I think he has done well just to make it this far on grass.

Should be an interesting women's final. Henin-Hardenne again took care of her fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters in straight sets. Amelie Mauresmo is the World Number 1 so she should give Justine a tougher battle than she has had thus far. If Justine wins this one she would have won all 4 Grand Slams.

I am supporting Mauresmo as she was denied proper recognition of her Aussie Open crown because Henin-Hardene pulled out midway through the match as she was struggling.

she was struggling with injury throughout the tournament.

We get the rematch final of the French open again but this time on Federer's turf. Both were convincing in their wins against their semi final opponents, Federer more convincing than Nadal. Should be a good final none the less.

Both players just cruised there way to victory! Going to be hard to pick the winner, because Nadal has been playing well off clay too.

Mauresmo has won her 2nd Grand slam while Justine yet again fails to win Wimbledon. Was a good match though, wasn't one sided both girls put up a good fight.

She played a great match with a never say die attitude. Henin-Hardenne deserved to win to, but Mauresmo was just the better player on the day.

Roger Federer :hpraise is the 2006 Wimbledon Champion!!!

6-0,7-6,6-7,6-3

What a win!!! He has shown us today that who is the real boss!

 

[Adarsh]

Well, I was supporting Nadal as it would have been a refreshing change, and also Henin-Hardene, because Mauresmo is too masculine!!

Good games though, but not as good as the last couple of years IMO.

 

[aussie1st]

Hes just too good. 6-0 in the first game wow! King Federer is unstoppable on anything back clay.

Just watched the highlights on BBC2 and Federer is just awesome! Also, am I the only one who thinks he looks like Quentin Tarantino?

He's terrific. I've seen the match from the third set. Nice to see Nadal challenging him on grass, but Federer is unstoppable. Second to Sampras now, and with that clay title, he might become the greatest of all.

Hey, atleast for a change, we've got some good rivalry between these two guys. I hope Roddick, Hewitt and few others step it in.
