Report Card Day

It was report card day today! I went to collect my report card at about 9.00a.m. and guess what? I got no.5 in my class. Well, only the position is good but my total marks is only 759/1100 and my average is only 69.00. BM and Mandarin were the subjects that pulled me down. I got 49-D for my BM and 47-D for my Mandarin. =( :( I hope I can get better results in my final exam that is in October.

Anyway I decided to blog about this although it finish a few days back. Its the Wimbledon tennis Grand Slam I'am talking about. Rafael Nadal was the champion for the men singles -- a double joy for Spain after they won the EURO 2008. Nadal defeated the 5-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7 in was what the longest Wimbledon final match ever played. If I am not mistaken, it lasted for about 5-6 hours due to the rain at the starting and in the middle of the match. Both of the players could make history if they won this title - For Federer, if he wins this he will better Bjorn Borg's record of 5 straight Wimbledon titles by winning his 6th. As for Nadal, he could be the third man to win the Roland Garros (French Open) and the Wimbledon together in one season after Rod Laver and John McEnroe if I am not mistaken and Nadal could the only spanish man to win the Wimbledon title since 1964. I think. (can't really remember the details). Futhermore, in the women singles final, it was defending champion Venus Williams up against her younger sister and 2-time Wimbledon champion, Serena Williams. Well Venus beat Serena 7-5, 6-4 to take the women singles title. I will put in some pictures about the Wimbledon later.
