Wimbledon Women's Finals

A great matchup for the women's edition of Breakfast at Wimbledon. 

These two women have been playing the best on grass, so it's only fitting one of them will take home the title.

They have only played once, and that was in 2010, indoors at Memphis.  Sharapova won, but I don't put any stock in that.

Kvitova has been playing just about perfect grass court tennis, but Sharapova tears the cover off the ball every shot.  I like Kvitova and the lefty wing serve and I think Sharapova continues to have some struggles with her serve.

Prediction: Kvitova in 3 sets.

Wimbledon Women's Semi-Finals

First up will be Victoria Azarenka and Petra Kvitova.

Lefty vs. Righty. Non Grunter vs. Grunter.  Both have big games and are hitting the lines and corners.  I like the fact that Kvitova reached this point last year and she has been coming into the net more than any other player.

Prediction: Kvitova in 2 sets.

Petra KvitovaNext up will be a former champion in Maria Sharapova against Sabine Lisicki.  Everyone is expecting Sharapova to come through in this one as Lisicki is not even supposed to be here in the semis.

If Sharapova doesn't have any issues with her serves, the hard-hitting German will be up against someone who hits as hard as she does.

Prediction: Sharapova in 2 tight sets.

Maria Sharapova Passes on Wildcard in Charleston

World No. 13 Maria Sharapova has rescinded her wild card entry, and will not appear in the 2011 Family Circle Cup.  The tournament continues to be highlighted by four Top 10 players including World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, World No. 5 Samantha Stosur, World No. 7 Jelena Jankovic, and World No. 10 Marion Bartoli, as well as former Cup champions Nadia Petrova and Sabine Lisicki.  Marking the tournament’s 39th consecutive year, the Family Circle Cup is scheduled April 2-10, 2011 at the Family Circle Tennis Center in the Best Tennis Town in America, Charleston, SC.

“Maria Sharapova is a superstar talent, and her presence in our player field will be missed by the tournament and the fans alike,” said Bob Moran, Family Circle Cup General Manager.  “We knew there was a chance she would withdraw depending on her performance in Miami when she accepted our wild card in January, and we congratulate Maria on her success at that event.  Despite the loss of one high profile competitor, our draw still boasts four of the Top 10 players in the world, as well as four Family Circle Cup champions and a host of other marquis players.”

Qualifying matches continue today and main draw action begins Monday.
