<p>Many players have rituals and I certainly have mine on the serve. It would just help if Rafa changed that ritual to something else.</p>
<p>Alexandre, if you had watched the French Open Final, you would have seen Nadal and David Ferrer. Nadal´s behavior was great. It always is.</p>
<p>In the SEMI, it was The Chair Ump who refused to have the court watered.</p>
<p>Bizarre day.</p>
<p>Yes indeed. No one wants to play on grass today? Cilic, Isner, Azarenka, Stepanek…Or they probably had gold holdings and felt too deflated to play.</p>
<p>Maria is beaten. Vika withdrawn. Wild open for all the other ladies in those quarters.</p>
<p>I don’t remember a day like this in all the years I’ve watched tennis.</p>
<p>This even tops the weird Wednesday in 2002. Pete, Andre & Marat all lost (I was there and remember it well.)</p>
<p>And now the day has gotten even weirder!</p>
<p>
Emilybee, you may have caught a pattern there: a Wimbledon Wacky Wednesday every 11 years.<br>
So, as it turns out, aside from gold and apple going down today, the following are out this wacky Wednesday: Federer (sniff), Tsonga, Sharapova, Azarenka, Cilic, Isner, Wozniacki, Ivanovic, Stepanek, Darcis, Shvedova, Hewitt.</p>
<p>My friends were there Monday and yesterday. I blame them leaving for upsetting the equilibrium. And one of them was Roger’s muse until she switched to Ferrer, so she is definitely to blame for that loss. ;)</p>
<p>
Can’t really blame her for switching. Ferrer is in Game of Thrones.

JK. He looks like the actor who plays Jaimie Lannister though.</p>
<p>Looked like a skating rink out there on the grass.</p>
<p>“Can’t really blame her for switching. Ferrer is in Game of Thrones.”</p>
<p>She switched well before GoT. You can time it from when Roger began his decline. ;)</p>
<p>Ok, I think I understand you. The same thing happened to Andre during Brooke Shields phase right?</p>
<p>So depressed. After Nadal went out had great hopes for Isner to have a good tournament even though definitely pulling for Federer…so much for that. Prefer Azarenka and Sharapova to Serena…so much for that. Maybe some young players will have a good run… I love watching players work the slide on clay and grass but grass seems to be taking it’s toll this year.</p>
<p>Krillies, something like that. ;)</p>
<p>Back to a more normal day.</p>
<p>Very ho hum.</p>
<p>Some interesting matches today. </p>
<p>Yay for Tommy!</p>
<p>Still very upset at this year’s Wimbledon. Murray’s title will have a huge asterisk next to it for me, just like his US Open.</p>
