The two Andys and the two Williams...

So, when I said earlier in the week that The Queen clearing her diary for Sunday's Men's Wimbledon final had put the mockers on Andy Murray reaching the final, I was only joking!

Unfortunately, it really did put the mockers on him and after a fabulous match against Andy Roddick - someone I've always liked and could never understand why he didn't win more grand slams - Andy Murray went out in four sets.

It really was a great match and could quite easily have gone either way, but Andy Roddick just kept plugging away and was definitely the best player on the day. What I would have given to have been there!

Talking of which, what I wouldn't give to be at Wimbledon for the Ladies' Final later today! It really was a fabulous match that Serena had in the semi-final, especially when compared to the other semi with sister Venus absolutely slaughtering Safina. For the sake of Ladies' tennis everywhere let's hope that today's final is a wonderfully exciting three-setter and let the best sister win!

Oh, dear...

So, Andy Murray has managed to get through the first week of Wimbledon without any trouble or mishap. His game has improved immeasurably this year. He certainly looks better. He's filled out with so much muscle that he even looks like a champion athlete instead of a piece of string!

Was that first week just a little too easy though, was there anyone there who really challenged him? Everyone around me in Britain seems to think that this is the year that we get a male Wimbledon champion again. I'm not so sure. In one way I hope they're right, it would be fantastic to have a British champion at long last. However, Roger Federer still has my heart and I can't help but want him to regain the championship!

Anyway, it's probably a moot point as to whether Andy can win this year. Apparently The Queen has cleared her diary so that she is free to attend Wimbledon next Sunday, 5th July, in case he reaches the final.

Okay, well you see right there, that's put the mockers on it! ;)
