Wimbledon Championships Today

Today was the opening day of the Wimbledon Championships and there were lots of wins and losses. Everyone’s favorite, Roger Federer beat his opponent Yen-Hsun Lu at the Men’s Singles rounding out at: 7-5, 6-3, 6-2. Maria Sharapova, having had shoulder injury in the past, also won her match against Viktoriya Kutuzova . Novak Djokovic (my mom’s favorite—mostly for his antics) defeated Julien Betteneau of France. Some of today’s losing players include James Blake (def. by ), Neuza Silva (def. by Serena Williams).

Other things mentioned today was the issue of women players being vocal when playing—over-screaming when hitting the ball. Personally, it’s been some time that this has gone on and no one cared, now people believe it to be a habit and people are turned off by the “force-of-habit” by some of the biggest players.
