Radvanzka has to be favored, but I like all the other women, for various reasons. Fascinating last 4!

Aga knows this is her best chance and the way she fought off Na LI indicated how much she wants this win,she will fight tooth and nail to win over Lisicki.Bartoli is also very hungry and has been to the final before...if Aga goes past Lisicki just cannot see anyone beating her..

This was the best chance for all 8 QF to win a slam. When will the top 3 ever be out of grand slam contention again? It's probably unprecedented. Whoever wins this, it will probably be their only slam ever and they will become a member of the lone GS club.

With Petra and Li out I believe in Sabine. Unless she gets tight from the pressure. But she's already been in the semi and if she wins wit Aga, then it should be her.

I'm rooting for Aga, but I think that Lisicki will win it. Flipkens winning it would be the biggest upset in WTA history, but if she wins her seven matches she deserves it. But whoever of these four wins it will probably be the happiest Wimbledon champion in history. :)

Do you know what I think, and I'll be honest with you. There's going to be great comedy in the wimmins from here on in. Huge bloated dropshots that shank their way into the royal box, gigantic double faults, UFE's through the roof, anxious teary stares at their coaches, angsty shrieks and mishits that reverberate off the roof for hours. It's going to be won by the girl with the least amount of ballooned forehands and nervous ninny backhands dumped into the floor in front of them. Smashes will be defensive strokes and serves will be timid, if they even reach the net at all.

I swear, I think this will be like watching Safina and Jankovic, had they ever met in a slam final. :snigger

Bartoli and Lisicki to meet in the final and the big girl to lose...

You were 0-4 the other day and now missed again. Time to give it a break?
I would not pick the final if I were you!

Lisicki is going to win it all, however I really don't understand how Serena lost that match to her because she doesn't have the best footwork.

You may have a point.. I like Lisicki and she is deserving... However, I didn't see the Rafa, Fed or Serena play during the 1st week because of work and travel scheduling. I guess these things happen and it will definitely add more focus for the US open.

I like Lisicki but the media has gone crazy with their praise,when she beat pova we never heard this over the top praise e.g.she is the queen of Wimbledon.She is in that position because of a decimated draw,she beat a mentally exhausted Serena ....she is too inconsistent to root for.

No,the reason why the media is high on Lisicki is because she beat the world number one who was riding high with a win streak, was a shoo-in and she did it with authority--with winners and grit. This was taken from Serena, not given by Miss Williams. That is a huge reason why there is so much about her in the media this year. The fact her off-court photos have been circulating the www has not hurt the cause for putting her in the news daily either. :)

she did not take the match away..Serena looked out of sorts from the first match and was still playing like she was on clay...spinning her serve in and taking pace off her shots.That match was lost on Serena s racket...thats all
everybody knows that beat Serena you are assured of media attention and endorsements...and yet the media says Serena is bad for the sport.
