Wimbledon day 4

THE DAY OF UPSETS!!
Henman out! I think Henman was very under-prepared coming into wimbledon and with the rather easy draw he got thought he might be able to squeeze into second week without too much effort. Unfortunately, it seems that the problem is not his opponents but himself.
Nadal out. I know this is an upset because he was no 4 seed, but he is playing his second wimbledon I was not really expecting much from him.
I love wimbledon for just this reason. At least in the Men's game the surface is so different and unique that seeding and ranking accumulated from playing on hard courts over the year do not really carry any weight. Its possible for someone like Mario Ancic last year with a good serve and volley game to thrash Henman. Its possible for someone like Ivanisevic to win after geting a wild card.
Its all about how you can play on grass. Anyone who plays on grass knows that the surface requires a completely different set of skills. You need to stay low and have to be very quick otherwise the ball just skids and slides away from you. You also need to be very fit. As you might have noticed lots of ankle and knee injuries take place at Wimbledon because of the stress you place on them during matches. Finally, you would be hard pressed to win Wimbldeon without a decent net gamel because you have to charge the net and force the point.

Other than that big British hope MURRAY taught Stepanek a lesson in grass court tennis with a straight sets thrashing. Federed cruises again and so did Hewitt. Coria came through in five against Malisse and in an epic match Alexander Popp of Germany overcame Wayne Rthurs of Australia 14 -12 in the fifth.
I was following the match online and it was great to watch the match swing every 10 minutes.
Ok, am in the lab so need to get back to DNA extractions.
WIll blog about the Monsoons later.
