 It will probably be The Williams Sisters once again so they better bring their "Excuses Book" so the loser can begin reading from it, however they won't be the usual excuses because they are Sisters. I am not even intrested in this tournament this year because all the other top players got knocked out. Personally speaking, if Venus & Serena play each other I will root for the Chair Umpire.

I'm at least rooting for the matchup, though, because if the women's final isn't Venus v. Serena, just as if the men's final isn't Roger v. Rafa, I'll have to rewrite the introductory background text for my finals poll.  I agree, to be sure, that the women's singles tournament in particular is a good bit less interesting with the pre-quarters elimination of most of the top players, but I am happy to say that my pre-tourney prediction did place the Williamses in the semis (it's not usually particularly gutsy to take a player with the supreme past performances at The Championships of either of the Williamses, but with them one never knows what he is going to get).  Dementieva, OTOH, really screwed and somewhat surprised me; across 2006 and 2007 I picked her to reach at least the quarters in all but one of the Slams, and I rather gave up on her after she failed to meet my expectations (here, I thought that she'd take a surprise third-round loss to Davenport; Lindsay, of course, withdrew after the first round, although I'm inclined to think that she'd have fallen to Dulko in any case).
