Men's semis tonight - Djokivic vs Federer, Murray vs Tsonga.
As for the first match, hard one to call as Federer looked in top form in his last match and owns a piece of Wimbledon by now but Novak is just so dominant.
As for Andy, well, really it's time....break the British 70+ year drought

For some reason I thought this thread was about wombles... That's it, no more sake for me.

Murray Mania! Here's hoping
As for the women, Serena wins her 5th singles title then went on and won the doubles with Venus. Some talent.

Well done Roger, first two sets were tight but Federer's class showed in the last two indeed.
Did you know he was South African?

He has a South African passport. Therefore South African!
Oh, and mother was South African of French/Dutch descent, not French/Dutch.
