Tennis Season Has Few Surprises
June 30, 2008 5:35 pm SportsThe 2008 tennis season is going strong and so far there have been only a couple of surprises. Justine Henin shocked the tennis world when she announced her retirement, two weeks before the French Open. The Tennis Channel had excellent coverage of this tournament and of the Henin surprise. And it was no surprise that the men’s singles winner was once again Rafael Nadal. He won four straight in a row, again keeping Roger Federer from securing a career Grand Slam.
And currently the Wimbledon tournament is going on and Federer is going strong. I think that it will be Federer versus Nadal for the men’s singles and I think that Roger will win again. But I predict that he will lose next season if he doesn’t retire before then. I think he is only still playing because he wants to win the French Open first. Nadal will defend his title next year and I hope that he loses to Federer and I hope that Federer goes out on top.
