Nadal reaches the semis in straight sets - hasn't lost a set since the 2nd round
He'll face Baghdatis next
Federer vs. Bjorkman (hadn't heard much about him for a while) in the other semi

in ladies singles, Mauresmo and Henin-Hardenne will face off again in the finals, a rematch of the Aussie Open final
Will Justine actually finish the match this time?


a men's doubles quarterfinal match goes 6 hrs, 9 mins, with a score of 5-7, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 23-21!

I still can't believe that Nadal reached the final, I feel this Wimbledon was not a great tournament so far, Federer faced the best opponents and reached the final easily, with an impressive 6-2, 6-0, 6-2 today. Nadal had less strong opponents and will be there next sunday...
great for Roger who will be able to beat Nadal again after the Roland Garros disappointment.

That's impressive indeed, the only double I remember which lasted longer was in Davis Cup, RUSSIA VS ARGENTINA, the double lasted 6 hours and 20mn, Nalbandian, and i don't remember who was the other argentinan, won against Safin and Kafelnikov, it was in Russia !

Mauresmo won her 1st Wimbledon... bad for her that the Football World cup totally obscured this exploit.

Now Federer for the win, I hope in 3 sets

That's the way the draw goes sometimes. Nadal has been improving every game and who knows, if he had Roddick of Ancic or Ljubicic for example in his draw, maybe he could have beaten them.

Should be an interesting final but I fully expect Federer to come out on top.
