where are you guys watching this? It's 1-0 in the first set on nbc lol

Well looked at the website. Venus just won 6-1, 6-0. 1 unforced error in the whole match wow

who is a worse world #1 - Dinara or Jelena? I probably would give it to Jelena, but I don't think she's as bad a choker as Dinara is.

Saturday is going to be EPIC!!!

Wimbledon legend Martina Navratilova wants grunting to disappear from tennis, saying that players who did it were putting themselves at a disadvantage.

In an exclusive interview with www.wimbledon.org, Navratilova said: "There's no reason to be making that noise when you hit a ball. We're not lifting 200 pounds over our heads and, quite frankly, I think it's counterproductive. It takes that amount of effort and energy to make that kind of noise. When players get tired, they're not making that noise because they do not have the energy any more.

"I would actually suggest to my player: 'You're actually making it worse for yourself'. I would be coaching my player not to do it. Never mind it's against the rules, it's all bad for my player. When they're yelling that loudly, it's a hindrance.

"The umpire needs to step up to the plate and tell them to stop. And if they don't, it should be a point penalty. I can guarantee you that once they start giving out point penalties they will stop doing it."

Navratilova, who won nine Wimbledon singles titles and is appearing here in the ladies' invitational doubles, had earlier sparked controversy when she told the International Tennis Federation's World Champions' Dinner during the French Open that grunting was cheating.

However, respected tennis coach Nick Bollettieri later hit back at Navratilova's claims, saying: "Martina said that it is cheating, but I can categorically state that it is not and she knows that."

But Navratilova is still sticking to her position. "I'm not going to get into it with Nick," she said. "We might have a friendly disagreement but the fact of the matter is that the grunting - it's not even grunting, it's shrieking - has got to subside, if not disappear all together because it is not necessary."
