6 days to go
A bit of rain today. But plenty of good tennis too.

| Venus and Serena have been so busy on the comedy circuit recently that they haven't had time to practice saying the names of the other players. Now we now what all that grunting on court is about. |

Henman beat Nalbandian in his toughest game yet. It wasn't really a classic but I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that for large periods of the game neither of them could hold serve. Sure makes a difference from the 400mph ballistic missiles which are the service norm in the men's game.
Henman clearly cheated at one point when the ball had bounced twice on his side but he played on and won the point. Surely, once the umpire has filed his match report, this will be referred to the video panel and Tim may be suspended for a couple of games. If he's lucky, he might be back from his ban in time for the final.
Philippousis is becoming the man to beat. There's been a lot of talk about Andy Roddick and his big serves, but Philipoussis must come close. Just the 46 aces today were enough to put Agassi out of the tournament. Rumour has it that you will be able to catch him and wife Steffi at London zoo tomorrow. Somewhere out near the Sampras enclosure I've heard.
