Marion Bartoli to Play against Venus Williams in the Final of Wimbledon 2007

Just one match left to get the new winner of the women’s single of Wimbledon 2007. The three time Wimbledon winner Venus Williams will meet an emerging star Marion Bartoli in the final of the women’s single of Wimbledon 2007. Well, I do not want to make any prediction because many upset has already seen in the women’s single category. The biggest upset might be the two finalists because all top seeded players have gone out of the tournament so far. Venus Williams is now 23rd ranked and Marion Bartoli is 18th ranked player in the ranking.

Well, you may argue that ranking is nothing but a statistical representation of past performances and it does not mean anything. However, the names like Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova, Amelie Mauresmo ect. have something to mean. They were the pre tournament favorites according to both fans and critics. Neither Venus Williams not Marion Bartoli was favorite before the tournament. However, the reality is that either of them is going to lift the trophy.

To be honest, both Venus Williams and Marion Bartoli look very tough. Both of them are in their full swing in the court and determined to win the match. No doubt, in terms of experience, Venus is much ahead of Bartoli but in terms of youth power and self development Bartoli seems to be favorite over Venus. Only time can give the best answer of the question- who will lift the Wimbledon 2007 trophy.
