Andre Agassi's last appearance at the All England Club. I'm just curious who is rooting for him to do well. I love the guy.

I'd be shocked if Federer didn't win the whole thing.

I always root for Agassi, but if somebody other than Federer or Nadal wins it would be a huge upset.

I root for Agassi as well. I always cheered for him when he played against Samprass too.

But I think Federer will win

Nadal has really come into his own this year. For awhile, I thought no one would be able to challenge Federer. It's going to be a great battle between these two for years to go.

I cheer for my obvious favorites, Ancic and Ljubicic.

The women's tour is getting much stronger as well. Clijsters is an outstanding athlete.

Agassi has been a great ambassador for the sport of tennis. I hope he continues to be involved in it - commentary, perhaps?

Some info coming out today about irregular betting in the opening round.

Sad if the matches really were rigged

Anna Smashnova. Is there a better name for an athete in their respective sport?

ahhh women's tennis.....

Mauresmo Henin-Hardenne final on the women's side. Sharapova looked pretty rattled in that 3rd set.

I know that Mauresmo "plays for the other team" but everytime I see that square jaw of hers I seriously wonder if she's one of those XXY chromosone people.... As Hingis put it once, she's "half a man"!

It was exciting to see the top 4 seeds make it to the semis. I think Henin-Hardenne was more momentum going for her and she'll take the final in 3 sets.

Nadal and Federererer on the mens side. I'm not a fan of Nadal so I hope Federer takes this one. It should be a good showdown though.

Amelia "Mike" Mauresmo wins on the womans side. Federer defeates Nadal.

Federer is a machine at Wimbledon. He is young enough that he can go on to set a record for most wins at Wimbledon. He won 4 the record is 7.

Last year at Wimbledon Amelie Mauresmo literally bumped into me. Not pretty. And neither was the doubles partner she was with, Svetlana Kuznetsova.
