Huge Upset
Maria Sharapova losing, is the biggest upset thus far at Wimbledon. After a very impressive run at the French Open, it appeared that Maria's stamina and match toughness would be strong enough to make a logical run at the Wimbledon title. Today's 3 set result further strengthens the notion that Serena Williams is the player to beat on the ladies' side. Her groundies are unstoppable on grass, and her serve is looking as unpredictable as ever.
One name that hasn't been mentioned enough on the men's side, is Juan Martin Del Potro, he has the game to get it done at the All England Club. He reminds me of a much more consistent version of Goran Ivanisevic. Juan doesn't put as much juice on the serve, but has the flat heavy groundstrokes which sit nice and low on grass...yes, even the hard Wimbledon grass.
