Azarenka Finally Shows Her Chops! And Boy Does She Grunt!
We may have the noisiest ladies final in the history of Wimbledon if both Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka win their respective semifinal matches later today. But I'm happy for Vika! She's the highest ranked player left (at #5), and on paper, should win the title, that is, if Maria Sharapova would allow it.
Also, Vika has to contend with Petra Kvitova first in their semifinal match and Kvit has been serving and playing very well - and she has been to the semi's last year - so in a way, she is experienced with these things.
Vika played impressively though, against Tamira Paszek and if she continues to play that way - who knows what will happen. For now, she should just enjoy her first Grand Slam semifinal - and at Wimbledon at that - and just play her best!
