50 - Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Winner and Sunday Special

Post no. 50 here:
The Ladies' Singles are over with the final being played yesterday, with Maria Sharapova (5) vs Petra Kvitova (8). Sharapova has been in this position 3 times before and won all 3 finals, this was Kvitova's first Grand Slam  final at the age of 21 and people expected her to fall under the pressure.

Kvitova played a near faultless match, except for losing her opening serve and was clearly better than Sharapova. Kvitova's big hitting was no match for Sharapova and all she could do was shriek in anger. Kvitova won the opening set 6-3 and this was mainly due to Sharapova's inability to hold her serve.

The 2nd set was closer, with the score 6-4 to Kvitova but it always looked like Kvitova would claim her 1st Grand Slam win and the payout of 1.1million pounds.

Sunday Special:
Lebron James....

  5. I thought Sharapova would have won because of her experience, but I guess giants do fall after a while...
