  Elena Dementieva DOH!

  Today's match at Wimbledon Elena Demtieva vs. Serena Williams was amazing. For the first time for a while, I can say I watched a women's tennis match and enjoyed it.
  
  I've said it here before, Elena Dementieva is my favourite womens player and she has always been a great player to watch. Her weakness is her serve and for once she served well in a match.
  
  I really wanted her to win so it wouldn't be an all Williams final (boooring) and she came so close. Those hawkeye calls were 2mms away from being in her favour.
  
  She's the last of the players on the women's tour that doesn't rely soley on power.
  
  As for Safina, world no. 1? Why?

  Rolland Garros

  I am so excited about tomorrow's Men's Final. I am a huge Roger Federer fan and I am so desperate for him to win. I'm also a bit nervous because the last few matches he's had some shaky wins. Also, Soderling has been playing really well. I guess by the time many of you read this, the result will be out.
  
  Even so, please win Roger Federer!

  Formula One

  Before I write this I know no one will read it or much less care but I shall rant anyway.

  The rule changes for next year are awful. I already dislike this year because of the stupid rules and to change them again for the worse is unbelievable.

  To outline a few, voluntary £40m cap on spending allows more KERS, more testing etc... No refuelling.

  The first one is strange considering it will in effect create two sets of teams running on two separate sets of rules. The second is the worst, the cars will be extremely slow to begin with if they are fuelled for the whole race. Teams are already struggling with KERS and have had to make a smaller fuel tank to accommodate it. How are they now going to fit KERS with a large fuel tank?

  The only plus side I can see to the rule changes is that a new team can enter so hopefully Proton (Aston Martin) can enter but then there'd be 26 cars on the track and that's just too many.
