It's really not a great weekend of sports. Just some baseball and NASCAR to go along with Wimbledon. The women's final isn't really all that interesting to me, since it's Venus vs. Serena, which I've only seen happen about 7 or 8 times before. And as for the men's final, don't even get me started. The only way Roddick will beat Federer is if Federer gets run over by a bus on his way to the stadium. And even then, Roger would probably still win. I mean, Federer absolutely OWNS Roddick. Roddick's like 2-153 all-time versus Federer. The one bonus is that at least the camera will probably spend a lot of time focusing on Roddick's smoking hot wife, SI swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker.
