Although Germany exited this year's World Cup early, there is a slim possibility that an all-German final will happen in Wimbledon 2018 in the women's singles. Yes, it has happened before, well, in 1931 in Hitler's era.
And of course, Steffi Graf has won here five times in the 90s. I am actually rooting for both of them. Angie Kerber and Julia Goerges have been my favorite players even when they were ranked in the 70s and 80s. You just knew that if they tweaked parts of their game, they could be in the top 10.
It happened to Angie,and now, Julia Goerges, has a chance of making it to a Wimbledon final.
I am writing cautiously because both Teutonic women are battling two grand slam champions in the semi's, so the route to the final is not easy.
Julia will face off with Mommie Serena and I think she has a sliver of a chance to win, since Serena is not moving very well, but since Mommie Serena relies heavily on her serve and her booming return of serve, she can afford not to move too much. So Julia and her team has to find a way to neutralize Serena's powerful shots.
Angie has a better chance over Jelena Ostapenko, but she also has to really bring her A game because Jelena is so tenacious on court and her self-belief is amazing, she's really fearless when she's on the zone. And I think here, she's really playing well and enjoying herself.
Anyhow, I am always rooting for the underdog but whatever combination will come up, it will be a great final on the women's side.
