After Roland Garros

Well an eventfall two weeks comes to an end and yet again Justine wins the Women's without dropping a set and thrashing finalist Ana Ivanovic. Also yet again we have Federer and Nadal fighting in the final, who will win (I am watching it now).
Well we are now plunging into Wimbledon where we will see the likes of the Williams sisters on there best surface to date, Henin on great form and Sharapova who always does well on the grass court as well as youngsters like Ana Ivanovic and Nicole Vaidisova trying to put their names on the hall of fame.
Well the DFS classic headlines a good draw with Maria Sharapova as first seed.
She will dominate the first eighth unless her earlier injury says otherwise. However I hope Keothavong will do well as she is British and I want Britain to win.
Radwanska will probably play the gutsy Ai Sugiyama also without much opposition. Hantuchova leads the second quarte with Marion Bartoli on the other side, there doesn't look to be much competition there but I hope Zi Yan will win.
Na Li looks to have a difficult draw for a Tier III event. She will probably face Santangelo ot Vakulenko but before that will face an onslaught from Michaella Krajicek and Kateryna Bondarenko. I hope she will do Ok as well as Kateryna, Yuliana, Michaella, Elena and Tiantian.
Jelena Jankovic will have to go through Maria Kirilenko and Alona Bondarenko to get into the latter stages of the tournament, but she seems on form so it looks like she will prevail.
4th Round (what i want to happen)
Sharapova Vs. Keothavong (possible but difficult)
Radwanska Vs. Morita (let the obscure players have a chance)
Hantuchova Vs. Yan (Go China)
Abigail Spears Vs. Naomi Cavaday (vote the underdogs)
Santangelo Vs. Sun (Go China)
Krajicek Vs. Li (or Baltacha Vs Bondarenko I wouldn't mind)
Bondarenko Vs. King
Kirilenko Vs. Wozniak (boo to Jankovic)
of course the possibilties of this line up will be 1000-1
Looks like Jankovic will face Sharapova in the final unless Na Li can muster the strength to beat Jankovic.
