France wins ... Wimbledon

July 8, 2006 11:46 PM | Comments (0)

It's a big day for tennis and football. Amelie Mauresmo has surpassed all expectations (mine included) and beaten Justine Henin-Hardenne.

I thought I wouldn't mind if either player won, but at the end I realised I still supported Justine more, as I didn't jump for joy. Somehow she lost momentum in the second set and never quite regained control.

Aside: I had no idea Amelie was lesbian until I read in the Straits Times today. Didn't realise that previous lesbian players were stigmatised when they came out, losing sponsorship deals.

As for the men's singles, I expect a Swiss victory over Spain :-P Then again, things have been unpredictable in the World Cup and Wimbledon ladies' singles finals, so you never know.
