So as I was watching the NBA Draft last night I kept wondering why Memphis guard Chris Douglas-Roberts kept sliding down. I can't believe he was picked #40 by the New Jersey Nets. In my opinion they got two amazing steals - #10 Brook Lopez (Stanford) and CDR. They definitely had the best draft last night.

Also, yesterday the Spain national squad beat Russia for the other spot in the Euro 2008 Final against Germany. Sunday afternoon is when all of this will be decided. In my opinion, Spain has a more potent squad although David Villa will not be playing Sunday. In reality that should give Germany a break, but Spain also has Guiza who was the Spanish Liga maximum scorer. I say a 2-1 win for Spain. I may be completely wrong, though.

Today my favorite female tennis player, Ana Ivanovic, lost her third round match at Wimbledon to Jin Zheng 6-1 and 6-4. Ivanovic is currently ranked #1 in the world while Zheng is ranked #133. Nothing was working for Ana and I have a feeling this began in her second round match against Nathalie Dechy when she saved 2 match points in the 2nd set and finally came back to win the 3rd 10-8. I think that marathon match really took a toll on Ana's game.

After a disappointing day for Ana I hope she rebounds in time for the US Open so she can make a run. I don't know if she's still going to be ranked #1 after this devastating loss at Wimbledon. Specially if either Jelena Jankovic and/or Svetlana Kuznetsova make it to the finals or win. Does this mean I'm pulling for the Williams sisters? It's possible. Them or anyone but Jankovic/Kuznetsova would be Ana's best chance at keeping her #1 world ranking.
