Week 1 notes:
Men's Draw
Bad luck on the men's side with my SF-Tommy Haas going out with that mother-of-all freak injuries during his warm-up prior to his first match.
Gonzo's win over my QF-Joachim Johansson was a shocker!
Women's Draw
Well... I suppose my C-Henin deserves a rest after what she's been through the last 12 months. In fact, I didn't get anyone through Henin's quarter of the draw (C-Henin, 4R-Ivanovic, 4R-Hantuchova, QF-Serena). Venus is finally looking comfortable on a tennis court for the first time in a long while. I'll pick her to get through that quarter.
With Henin out, bump SF-Sharapova up to Champion.
I gave my SF-Serena the benefit of the doubt, but the operative word here is doubt. Considering her history at Wimbledon, looked like an easy draw to the QFs...
That's what Babblelot says.
