The tennis world can relax, King Roger of Federer still sits atop his throne and Amelie Mauresmo justifies her number one world ranking by becoming Queen of Center Court.

That's it for the recap, as always good luck in your matches.

Just kidding, you know that we haven't mentioned the Heroes of the Huddled Masses yet. We'll get to them shortly but first we'll talk about the men's final between Federer and Rafael Nadal. Virtually no one (myself included) picked Nadal to reach the finals. Analyst Brad Gilbert almost had it pegged correctly when he predicted qualifier Robert Kendrick to upset Nadal in the second round. Kendrick had his chances but one muffed volley in the third set tiebreak cost him and Nadal never looked back in coming back from two sets down to win in five. Nadal is not one of the Huddled Masses's favorites (too much fist pumping after opponent's mistakes) but let's give him credit where it's due. No one but Federer would have beat him on Sunday.

Hopefully Mauresmo has put to rest all of the notions that she's a choker by winning the Women's Final. If you're not going to choke in the Wimbledon final than chances are you were never a choker to begin with. And lets give credit to the "Belgian Quitter" for not tossing the towel in when down a break in the third. She had to call on all of her self described "toughness" to finish the match and give Mauresmo her deserving moment of victory. It was truely one of the most courageous things that I have ever seen on a tennis court.

Credit also has to go out to Bethanie Mattek for having the female equivalent of cojones to wear her retro 70's outfit in her first round defeat  at the hands of Venus Williams. If you missed it, Mattek played her match in knee high tube socks and short shorts. Just think back to the early 80's NBA look and you will have a visual.

The Huddled Masses actually had one of their best Wimbledons ever. The torch bearers of the Masses, The Bryan Brothers, cemented their places as one of the greatest doubles teams ever by completing the career slam by winning the Men's Doubles Final. Ivan Ljubicic made it to the third round before choking away a two set lead in losing to Dimitry Tursenov (I know I probably didn't spell that correctly). Max Mirnyi advanced to the fourth round by upsetting James Blake before falling to his double's partner Jonas Bjorkman in five sets. Extra credit must go out to Bjorkman for making the semis at the age of 34. Of course his reward was a dismantling at the hands of Federer but in the future no one will remember the score. only that he was a Wimbledon semi finalist.

Unfortunately Bjorkman had little left for his quarterfinal douibles match with Mirnyi and also had to pull out of his mixed match with partner Lisa Raymond. This is a clear illustration of the fallacy in the ATP's push for more singles players to play doubles. A player is going to pull out of doubles to rest up if they advance in the singles draw.

Now I can say, as always good luck in your matches.
