Wimbledon Elite Eight Tomorrow

Well the women are down to the top 4 seeds. Not exactly the four best looking women in the tournament, but in fact the four best. It's like the Women's College Basketball Tournament, the top seeds never lose. Venus is playing as well as Serena and while Venus is taking on #1 Safina, I think if one of them fall it will be Serena to Dementieva, who is quietly playing absurdly good tennis. That said, it is probably Venus-Serena, take your pick. Probably will also win doubles so we can hear all about that accomplishment.

On the men's side we have a pretty intriguing "Elite 8." Murray, the most likely candidate to be able to beat Federer, will walk past Ferrero and take on the winner of the Lleyton Hewitt - Andy Roddick winner. Can't recall Hewitt playing so well outside Australia in forever, hopefully Roddick can get it done though, in my opinion Roddick has been the second best player in this tournament and for some reason I could see him doing the miraculous and winning this whole thing...not only is his serve on fire, he has added a nice little slicing backhand and is moving about as well as you could expect, even handling that low shot moving toward the net better than I have ever seen...will not be an easy road though...but maybe with a few serves like this..

On the other side Federer should have no problems with Karlovic and will take on the Haas-Djokovic winner. While I have not yet seen Djokovic in this tournament, he has been walking through, that said this seems like the most likely of the top remaining seeds to fall as Haas has an absolute monster serve and is playing good tennis.

Again, most of the juice in this tournament was taken out when Rafa withdrew. The bottom line is Federer is looking almost unbeatable right now. And if Haas upsets Djokovic he may just walk to the finals and probably will be well on his way to securing his spot as the all-time greatest with even less of an argument to be made against that stance.
