Splendor in the grass...

All-American hearthrob Andy Roddick had a shocking loss at Wimbledon on Friday, losing to Richard Gasquet 8-6 in the fifth set. Ouch! He's gotta be so heartbroken over this...I know I am! Andy had been my pick to win simply because I thought it would finally be time for him to topple four-time defending champion Roger Federer who he would have played in the semifinals. Instead, Federer's road to a fifth straight Wimbledon crown just got a little easier. He'll play Gasquet, who is probably exhausted, tomorrow. Also in the semis is Rafael Nadal, the man with the muscles ranked second in the world who will play the wonderfully demonstrative Novak Djokovik who is pictured below in a series of shots from his five hour match against Marcos Baghdatis. Novak has climbed all the way to number four and I think has supplanted Roddick as the next big thing.


And you all know how much I like to post pics of Rafael Nadal (below)...he's showing that his trip to last year's Wimbledon final was no fluke. But Novak has beaten him before so his semifinal will be no cakewalk.


But in the end, there's a guy named Roger Federer (below) who is more than capable of beating any of the remaining players (including Nadal) on the grass of the All England Club where he has not lost a single match since the 2002 tournament.
