Announcement!

You're probably wondering why there has been a lack of blog posts recently.

Firstly, I apologise for that.

However…

I am working on an exciting new project. "Rafa Nadal- 14" is a tribute video I am making, to celebrate his grand slam wins. So far the project is going very well, and I hope it will continue to head in the right direction. It's a big task and a work in progress, but it's coming. Gathering a lot of clips from as far back as 2005 is a challenge!!

My aim is to have it finished by the end of the year.

I am very excited about the project. I'm busy for a number of reasons now, not just the project, so it will take time, but hopefully it'll be worth it.

I am looking forward to the finished project, and I hope you are too.

Again, I apologise for the semi- hiatus of this blog, I will try my absolute best to keep writing material whenever I can.

Lastly, I just want to say thank you to everyone that has read my blog since July. I am thoroughly looking forward to 2015, and lots more posts to come!

Thank you! Grace x

2014 Wimbledon Men's Final- PREVIEW

Sunday is the day of another Wimbledon final, perhaps the most anticipated match of the year. This year it's Djokovic vs Federer.

I'm very excited, as I'm sure the match will be very tight, and there doesn't seem to be a clear favourite in my eyes.

Novak Djokovic- His Route to the final

Novak's run at Wimbledon so far has featured some pretty dramatic matches. His first match was a straight sets victory over Golubev. Next was Stepanek. I really enjoyed this match, it was a four setter in the end but could have easily gone to 5. Radek's volleys and Novak's returns crafted some exciting points. Gilles Simon was overcome next, and then it was Tsonga. I expected a lot more from the Frenchman but in the end, Djokovic was just too strong. The quarterfinals matchup was against Cilic, another great match. Marin stood his ground well and forced the match to go to 5 sets, impressive. Next was a semi final against Dimitrov, a highly anticipated battle of the young gun vs the experience. As predicted an upset didn't occur, and in 4 sets, the number 1 seed reached another Wimbledon final.

Roger Federer- His Route to the final

Roger has been flawless his Wimbledon, losing only ONE service game. Straight sets wins against Lorenzi, Muller, Giraldo and Robredo got him to quarterfinal. The first 4 rounds for Roger were simply outstanding. They were quick and easy. (Hope not too easy?) Roger's first (and only) challenge was Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinal, who took a set of Roger, the only person to do so this championship so far, Roger advanced well however. His semifinal was against Raonic, who didn't do enough to even take a break off Roger. The match was one sided and quite boring to be honest. After two weeks of perfection, Roger is through to his 9th Wimbledon final.

Djokovic hasn't been playing his absolute best this tournament, but some challenges have trained him up well for the occasion. Roger has breezed through the rounds, although thats not always a good thing. Maybe Roger needed a few challenges and tricky situations to prepare him for the blockbuster final on Sunday?

What you can't take away from Roger is his Wimbledon record. 7 titles so far, his last one was in 2012. The last couple of years have been far from ideal for Federer but is this another chance to get back to the summit of mens tennis?

We know how consistent Djokovic is, and I'm sure he will bring that to the final this weekend. The combination of Roger's serve and Novak's return will be interesting to see, and they'll be sure to create some great rallies.

The match will be very tight, It's about 51-49 to Roger in my eyes though…!

Prediction- Roger Federer in 5 Sets
