Wimbledon: It doesn't get any better

Wimbledon starts tomorrow. My early picks are my girl Ivanovic and Federer. I really expect to see him break his slump. One of the Williams' sisters and I'll take Venus will make some SERIOUS noise at this Grand Slam.

For those interested only in the aesthetics of the women's game, Maria Sharapova has announced she's simplifying her wardrobe and will actually wear shorts. Hmmm.

hopefully by simple she means just enough to cover up.

for those with DirecTV, you can watch a mix channel of all courts or each individual court. channels are in the 700s. may or may not be in HD.

Surely they will show this on the tennis channel, I will be watching.

Interesting to see if Federer can bounce back to the whippin he got from Nadal at RG.
I think Nadal may be on the verge of making a move on the grass, he did beat Roddick at Queens Club.

The media made waaaay too big of a deal about that. Nadal was the runner up in each of the past two Wimbledons. He's better at Roddick on every kind of court right now. Nadal definitely has a chance to finally beat Federer this year seeing how much Federer has struggled so far and is/was battling mono, I just don't see it actually happening.

Reason to root for some of these chicks even though you've never heard of them.

Federer's little cardigan sweater looks gay...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My Sharapova-loving friend wants a chance to win his money back on Wimbledon. I guess I'm honor-bound to wager him, though I can't say I like Ana's chances as well on grass. Ah well.

Playboy bunny Ashley Harkleroad is still to play v. Mauresmo...

Ana's serve has come a long way in the past year and a half, but I'm with you. This surface is a tall order for Ana...

Ashley's playing now.

Watch fast, it'll be over soon..

Sharapova's match is underway. The shorts work for me.

Her opponent, Foretz, is quite the looker as well..

I think those two will be second place this year. I'll take Sharapova and Nadal.
