wimbeldon - day 7

all time london to do: wimbeldon. shar, along with thousands of others, queued for tickets to wimbeldon on day 7 of the championship. the 4 hours seemed to fly. i must say the best queuing experience i've had and there's grass to sit on. i'm glad i got up at 4:30 though because i got front row seats on court 12, which feature jelena jankovic, jo-wilfried tsonga and robin soderling. i was there a solid 6 hours friends. yes, shar loves tennis (missed you henry).

strawberries and cream, anyone?

my fav - pimm's!

wimbledon wrap-up

unexpected championship match: wimbledon gentlemen's final - federer versus roddick. i was expecting roddick to go down fairly easy but i was uber impressed when he took the first set, but not so surprised he choked in the second. dude, the kid was up 4 set points. it hurt a lot, but i do have to commend him for sticking out the match and making it a close one. i missed the the fourth due to a date with chicken and waffles in harlem. i missed roddick crying. i was disappointed that pete didn't hand over the trophy to roger. it would have been a nice image of a hand over of his record.

belated commentary on a sporting event fav: wimbledon 2009. i'm disappointed that i have not been following one of my my favorite sporting events of the year. i even snoozed on the jumbo tron action at rockerfeller center. just caught up on news from federer feeling 'perfect' to ana ivanovic retiring to venus. i got this widget to keep me on it. here's to the finals this weekend.

williams wimbledon

best wimbledon women's final this century: serena versus venus. it was nice to get up at 9am instead of 6am to see the wimbledon women's final - one of the good things about moving to new york. in the pre-match commentary they were saying how both have matured and hopefully they would finally play the best tennis on the same day. venus TOTALLY showed up. she hadn't for all the other finals and it was nice to FINALLY see the sisters really duke it out. i'm uber glad venus won since i've always preferred her classic long line form to the crazy bully tennis serena plays.

most desired outfit: venus's eleven dress. i really loved the neckline on this dress. i hope i can get it at my local steve and barry's before it might shut down. i really wanna go out and strike a few balls. i miss my wilson prostaff 7.0, the racket endorsed by none other than steffi graf.
