Yep, it’s almost over and we reckon this dude with the biggest chin in tennis will have something to do with the tournament’s conclusion.

The final of the most grandiose grand slam tournament in tennis is near, and while we already know it’ll be an all - Williams final in the women’s division of the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, we still have no idea who’ll come out from the men’s side of things.

With defending champion Rafael Nadal out of the tournament due to his injury, five-time Wimbledon winner and world no.2 Roger Federer has a chance to resume his reign on top of tennis.

The win at Roland Garros was not only Federer’s first ever French Open crown, but it made Federer only the sixth person in history to win all four Grand Slam titles. Moreover, Federer’s all-time best record of 14 Grand Slam titles, which equaled Pete Sampras’, means that victory at Wimbledon would set a new tennis record and prove Roger Federer’s status as the most successful player in history, if not the greatest.

And in Wednesday’s quarterfinal match, Roger Federer neutralized Ivo Karlovic’s huge serves Wednesday to reach the Wimbledon semifinals and move a step closer to a record 15th Grand Slam championship.

Federer conjured up a few great returns to break…

Yes, they’re still around.

With the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova out followed by Ana Ivanovic tapping out of center court because of an injury, having the Williams sisters STILL around is really one big swift kick to the balls.

In case you didn’t get that, I don’t really expect you to. What I know is that the two huge reasons why the male population watch tennis is now long gone and there isn’t really nothing to look forward to in the 2009 Wimbledon Championships anymore but for it to be over, and soon.

For the rest of you, well, both Venus and Serena Williams are still around, each hoping for a possible Williams sisters face-off in the semifinals. Of course, they have to get rid of their respective quarterfinals matches first.

First, Serena. The younger Williams will look for revenge as she faces off with the same beyatch who kicked her ass in the final of last April’s Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Victoria Azarenka. Serena knows that Azarenka is a good player and if there was one player with everything to lose, it would have to be her.

‘’She’s obviously a good player, and she’s really young,'’ said Serena Williams, a winner in 56 minutes over another hottie, Daniela Hantuchova in Monday’s fourth round. ‘’She has nothing to lose. It will be a really good match.'’

Older sister Venus Williams, on the other hand, was…

Apparently, that’s the latest controversy surrounding the latest grand slam tournament in tennis lately.

In case you didn’t know, the 2009 Wimbledon Championships are finally here as the top male and female tennis players in the world gather at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to play for the third grand slam title of the season.

And as far as the latest controversy about the simulation of sex, one former Wimbledon champion, Michael Stich, is claiming that today’s female tennis players like the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova and the equally hot Maria Kirilenko are just trying to sell sex on the tennis courts.

It turns out that this Michael Stich is annoyed by the way some of the top female tennis players in the game ‘’grunts'’ whenever they hit the ball. He attacked the noises these players make on the court by suggesting to ‘’just play it back to the women. It sounds disgusting, ugly, unsexy!'’

He added by saying that, ‘’they want to look good, they pay attention to their looks and everything.'’

Three of the top female tennis players of all time; Monica Seles, Serena Williams…

After finally winning his very first French Open title a few weeks ago, you bet your ass he is.

Fresh off his first French Open title, Roger Federer considers himself the man to beat at the 2009 Wimbledon championships. This year’s Wimbledon will be held from June 22 to July 5, 2009 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as always.

And as far as Roger Federer is concerned, he says he’s looking forward to trying to claim a sixth championship. ‘’I do think I’m the favorite, actually, with all the success I’ve had,'’ Federer said.

A little cocky but judging by the way he’s been dominating the past Wimbledon tournaments, he has every reason to be. Sure, his run of five consecutive Wimbledon titles ended with a five-set loss to Rafael Nadal in last year’s final but the guy is still the winner of five of the last six Wimbledon tournaments, and betting against him will still be a very bad idea.

Federer said his back feels OK. He took a six-week break this year because it was bothering him. As for his game, Federer figures he can keep improving, particularly on grass and hard courts, ‘’when I can go for my shots more.'’

We thought Rafael Nadal would be ready for this…

Read More » Is Roger Federer the man to beat in Wimbledon 2009?

Yes, Rafael Nadal’s dominance on clay finally ended. And it was shocking to say the least.

Rafael Nadal’s elimination in the 2009 French Open at Roland Garros happened last weekend when one Robin Soderling just became the guy who did the impossible, beat Nadal on clay.

The world’s No.1 Rafael Nadal lost to Robin Sunderling, 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 7-6 (2) and was stopped unceremoniously from his quest of a fifth straight French Open title.

The 23rd seed Robin Sunderling probably now has his name known in Spain, where some will probably hate his guts while some will probably even become his fans. Emilio Sanchez Vicario, who captained the Spain’s Davis Cup team to victory over Argentina last year, is one of them.

‘’Soderling played very well, and that is tennis sometimes,'’ Sunderling said. ‘’In tennis there are times when one player gets into the game and the other player can’t find his rhythm. When Nadal went so far behind in the second tiebreak there was no way back.'’

‘’I think he had been having problems with the length of his shots all week and he suffered for this,'’ he said. ‘’He couldn’t get back into it. I don’t think it was down to tiredness. He’d won a lot of games recently and was quite fresh.'’

Despite the disappointing loss, the Spanish media is…

She’s back.

In case you didn’t notice, the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova returned to the Grand Slam stage on Court 1 at the French Open last Monday. Unfortunately, it didn’t feel like she was back to her lofty standards, as one might expect after shoulder surgery in October and only four singles matches in the past 10 months.

The 64th-ranked Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus is not the sort of opponent who would normally trouble a Maria Sharapova at the top of her game, but since the sexy Russian ain’t there just yet, there was trouble as early as Day 1 of the 2009 French Open at Roland Garros.

Thankfully, Maria Sharapova’s first match at a major tournament in nearly a year ended with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Yakimova. However, it will take more than that performance for Sharapova to erase the uncertainty that comes with such a long layoff.

‘’This is the first time in my career where I can really say I don’t have any expectations,'’ three-time major champion Maria Sharapova said. ‘’I don’t know how things are going to work out. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, how my shoulder is going to feel.'’

Because of her time away, Sharapova is ranked…

And I’ve got to tell you, I was more than relieved seeing her go through.

A shaky start. That is exactly how one can describe the way the defending French Open champion, Ana Ivanovic kicked off the 2009 French Open at Roland Garros.

You read it, Ana Ivanovic struggled on the important points in her opening match against Italian Sara Errani before eventually winning the match, 7-6 (3), 6-3 to advance to the second round.

The defending Serbian champion, seeded no.8, converted only five of the 20 break points she earned against Sara Errani. The Italian broke three times and even served for the first set at 5-4.

‘’I knew I had to work hard for my points today, and I’m very happy I did that,'’ Ana Ivanovic said after the match. ‘’And I kept my composure.'’

Ivanovic’s right knee may have something to do with the way she struggled in Day 1 of the clay tournament. She pulled out of the Madrid Open with the right knee injury and had it taped last Sunday when she took on Sara Errani of Italy.

Errani did a good job taking advantage of Ivanovic’s injury as she got the defending champion move around the clay surface. Ivanovic finished the match with seven double-faults and six aces. Despite the injury, Ivanovic claims she feels very fit and very ready to defend her title at…

I guess the way Rafael Nadal has been hogging all the spotlight lately has been pissing this fan off eh?

STILL, the fan believes that it’s only a matter of time before Roger Federer once again becomes the no.1 tennis player in the world. And with the 2009 French Open at Roland Garros only a few more weeks away, Federer needs these kinds of stuff to motivate him on clay.

Stanislas Wawrinka, Roger Federer’s Olympic Games gold medal-winning compatriot, believes the Swiss superstar will be rejuvenated as a tennis player due to marriage and impending fatherhood.

This was after Wawrinka eliminated the Swiss star in Monte Carlo.

Roger Federer who is still searching for a first title in 2009, made a last-minute change to his scheduling decision, taking a wild card into the Monte Carlo Masters clay court tournament probably to ready himself for Roland Garros.

The 13-time Grand Slam title winner arrived at Monte Carlo just two days after marrying longtime girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec, who is expecting the couple’s first child in the summer, in his hometown of Basel.

Roger Federer lost his Monte Carlo third round…

You can bet your ass we’re hoping.

While it’s still quite early to say that we’ll see Maria Sharapova in the 2009 French Open at Roland Garros, there are signs that suggest she’ll be making her return on clay.

The hot and sexy Maria Sharapova, who had surgery on her injured right shoulder last October, is set to play in the French Open starting in late May. That is according to the player’s father.

Her father claims she plans to return to the court in May at the Roland Garros tournament, but prior to that, she would have to play in two tournaments first to get back to form.

And while it’s not clear which tournaments Sharapova would be in, it’s obvious that the plan is to make a huge comeback in the coming French Open tournament.

The Russian superstar, who remains to be the highest earner in women’s sport, had hoped to return to action after a seven-month layoff in the WTA Miami tournament, having played a doubles match at Indian Wells, but she finally decided that the shoulder needed more rest.

Maria Sharapova missed the U.S. Open and the Beijing Olympics in 2008, as well as this year’s Australian Open. She has slumped to 53 in the WTA rankings but enjoys from the WTA a special injury ranking of four which she can use for acceptance into tour events.

She has eight tournaments for her to…

We just might see Federer lose the no.2 spot to Murray this season.

Andy Murray has never won more than two matches in sequence on clay, but has the perfect incentive to improve that record over the next two months.

Starting here with this week’s Monte Carlo Masters, the traditional start to the European outdoor season and before we head to the 2009 French Open at Roland Garros.

He has an outstanding chance of overhauling Novak Djokovic as world no.3 and might even replace Roger Federer at no.2.

The game’s top four players have pulled away to such an extent that Andy Murray, the world no.4, has almost twice as many ranking points as Juan Martin del Potro, but within the elite group, there are clearly two men at the top of their game and two who are not.

While Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray go from strength to strength, Federer has been losing consistently to both men.

As if that wasn’t bad enough for the former world no.1, Novak Djokovic has been struggling to…
