Final Day: Roundup

Roger Federer retains Wimbledon title



Roger Federer steamrolled a hapless, helpless Andy Roddick in straight sets in the men's final today. The final score was an embarrassing 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4. We all knew Roger Federer would win the men's title at Wimbledon, and I think he makes men's tennis incredibly boring. He won Wimbledon in 2003, 2004, and 2005; he won the US Open in 2004 and the Australian Open in 2004. He dominates men's tennis, especially on grass, and he's only 23...so he'll be around a very long time. The game is incredibly dull when the field lacks depth, and the men's field certainly seems to lack depth right now. It'll get better when the men lift their games to Federer's level, but for now....zzzzzzzzzzz.



Awwww, poor Andy. I know it's hard work. WORK HARDER!

Women's Doubles



Liezel Huber and Cara Black won the women's doubles title, winning in straight sets over singles top-10 players Svetlana Kuznetsova and Amelie Mauresmo. They were simply no match for the Africans, who won 6-2, 6-1. A real drubbing. Aww, bless.

Mixed Doubles



Unseeded players Mahesh Bhupathi and Mary Pierce won their semi-final match against the No. 3 seeds Jonas Bjorkman and Lisa Raymond 7-5, 6-1. They played Paul Hanley and Tatiana Perebiynis in the final; Hanley and Perebiynis had defeated Kevin Ullyett and Liezel Huber in their semi-final match earlier today.
