Wimbledon, Day 10.

(Picture from www.bbc.co.uk/sport)

Again with the ah wells. Zheng Jie did not manage to overpower Serena, and Elena Dementieva did not manage to overpower Venus, so it's a Williams sisters final. Ho hum.

Arnaud Clement and Rainer Schuettler battled through a 5 hour long, rain delayed match.
Schuettler won 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6), 6-7 (7-9), 8-6. He has to play Nadal today. Here is the line-up for the men's semi-finals:

Roger Federer (SUI) 1st seed vs. Marat Safin (RUS)
Rafael Nadal (ESP) 2nd seed vs. Rainer Schuettler (GER)

In the girl's singles, Laura Robson is doing fantastically well. After dispatching the 1st seed in the first round, she took out the number 9 seed yesterday to make it into the semi-finals. She looks like she's going to make a very handy tennis player.

So much for me doing any study last night. Principessa fell asleep just before 5pm, woke up at around 8pm, and didn't go back to sleep until 1am. Knackered, I am. I would so like Principessa to go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 7-8 am. I could handle that! But no. She usually goes to sleep between 9-11pm, then wakes up any time from 7.30-9-30am. That means I stay up until 1am to study. Oh so tired... But if I get a degree out of it, then it'll be worth it!
