yesterday amelie mauresmo made whole france proud being the first french lady to win the most prestigious grand slam in 81 years. Will it be anohter proud day for france or will be mighty italians for the fourth time.
thanks god we are not seeing brazil once again . it is a nice change in football world cup.

and it is nice chage in tennis as well. finally there is somebody who is able to challage roger federer. and amazingly enough he leads federe 6-1. spaniard nadal is all ready to cllange the fed express. but wimbledon is different proposition and i would say final frontier for nadal.

This Italian side has, as you would expect, a rock-solid back four. And, I think, they have the best keeper in the world in Gianluigi Buffon.
There's a nice balance with Gattuso and Pirlo in front of the defence. And they use the attacking qualities of the full-backs, Grosso and Zambrotta to great effect.

France have sat deep in games and tried to absorb pressure, knowing that Makelele and Vieira can disrupt the opposition.

Their aim is to get it to Zidane and Ribery and let those two do their bits of magic and feed Henry, who can lead any counter-attacks.

great matches in prospect.
