		<description><![CDATA[So sorry to have missed the opportunity to predict the opening rounds of Wimbledon.  I assure you, my picks were far better than the French.  But I&#8217;m American.  And Americans always seem to do well on the grass courts.  Just look at Venus Williams.  She&#8217;s been sloppy most of the year and even though she&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tennisfreak.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1005368&amp;post=30&amp;subd=tennisfreak&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rafael Nadal took out Novak Djokovic in three sets to reach the semifinals of the French Open.  Not an easy win but certainly quicker than I&#8217;d hoped.  It seemed to get easier for Rafa each set, 7-5 6-4 6-2.  I would loved to have seen Novak get a little more big-stage time.  Someone, someday has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tennisfreak.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1005368&amp;post=26&amp;subd=tennisfreak&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mother Theresa will not be in the women’s finals of this year’s French Open.  A collective sigh of relief, please, that Maria Sharapova has been smacked down on the red clay.  Guess she was too busy pretending to be a dead nun because we know she can’t do that and win a match, right?  Oh [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tennisfreak.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1005368&amp;post=25&amp;subd=tennisfreak&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
