My Final Picks
I think these two finals should be enjoyed in and of themselves. My best guess is that Serena and Roger add to their Wimbledon winnings. Still, the gentlemen’s final is so historically significant fans need to just enjoy this weekend. My quick $.02
Wimbledon 2012 Ladies’ Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winner in BOLD SEMIFINAL MATCH-UPS [6] SERENA WILLIAMS (USA #6) vs. [2] VICTORIA AZARENKA (BLR #2) Williams leads 7-1 I think Serena has made it past a couple of dangerous matches already.

Family Circle Cup Semifinal Predictions
Predicted Winner in BOLD Semifinals Samantha Stosur (2) vs. Serena Williams (5) – Stosur’s wins over Serena at the 2011 US Open and 2010 French Open prove she can beat Serena.
