TODAYS'S MATCH match is going to very exciting , two legendry players will fight against one another. Serena williams vs Maria Sharapova in the Centre court at 13:00 pm in the Grand Slam Wimbledon 2010.
Sharapova and Williams will face off for the first time at Wimbledon since the Russian scored a shock victory over Serena in the 2004 final here.Then just a 17-year-old with little experience at the highest level, Sharapova created one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history by ending Serena's two-year run as women's champion with a stunning 6-1, 6-4 win.Maria Sharapova has warned Serena Williams that she is relishing the chance to end her old rival's reign as Wimbledon champion.Sharapova is finally approaching something like her best form again and she can't wait to tackle top seed Serena in the fourth round on Monday."I absolutely love it. She's the defending champion, she's great on this surface and she's won numerous grand slams,I love going on the court and playing someone that's obviously the favorite to win the match ,says Sharapova.
Although Sharapova has been in better form of late, she is well aware that Serena has been in an even more dominant mood - dropping just 10 games in her first three matches here.The 23-year-old also knows that Serena, who has taken the first set of each of her matches here by a resounding 6-0, holds a 5-2 career edge in their head to head meetings..
Like Sharapova, Serena doesn't believe the 2004 final will have much bearing on this meeting, although she is keen to forget all about that encounter."I just remember I was really nervous,I think I put too much pressure on myself. It didn't work out. That was that and that is past," Serena added.

Fabio Capello's men have to beat Slovenia in Port Elizabeth to be certain of qualifying for the last 16 in a tournament. They have to look beyond face-saving draws as they have shown against opening 1-1 draw against the USA and against Algeria. Slovenia will go into the game ruing their missed opportunity of taking two wins out of two, having gone 2-0 up against the US before half-time only to see their lead pegged back by Michael Bradley's equalizer eight minutes before time.
After Rio Ferdinand and Ledley King injuries Matthew Upson will start in defense, while Slovenians are waiting on the fitness of center-back Marko Suler. It would be interesting to watch Frank Lampard vs. Robert Koren clash. The more radical solution is to play Wayne Rooney in the role he performs for Manchester United as a lone striker, with Steven Gerrard behind. Slovenia tend to employ a straightforward 4-4-2 formation and can be expected to defend in two fairly rigid banks of four.
England Coach Fabio Capello is quite optimistic about the potential of the team, “After this game we have no more chances. We have to win. The results have not been good, but I haven't seen the right spirit on the pitch for 90 minutes, only for five or six minutes. I hope in the next game the spirit I saw in qualification will return.” On the othet hand Slovenian coach Matjaz Kek is self composed man, “Any national teams knows it is an honour to play England and it’s no different for us. After all, football was invented there. It’s a great stage to present and promote our beautiful country. ”
In all possibility Slovenia will opt for rather defensive 4-4-2 line up with S Handanovic; Brecko, Suler, Cesar, Jokic, Kirm, Koren, Radosavljevic, Birsa; Ljubijankic, Novakovic Substitutes: J Handanovic, Seliga, Dzinic, Ilic, Filekovic, Mavric, Pecnik, Krhin, Komac, Stevanovic, , Matavz, Dedic.

Hopes, are as usual high on Brazil, Portugal, Germany and Argentina who have showcased some terrific performance on the field. The counter attacks and calculated maneuvers have resulted in some spectacular rankings.
1.) ARGENTINA
What possibly could go wrong when you have the God of football, Lionel Messi attacking the opponents? Argentina kept their cool from the very beginning and crushed South Korea 4-1 with Gonzalo Higuain scoring a fantastic hatrick. Argentina is looking to be strong contender for the title.
2.) GERMANY
Germany calls for danger and cautiousness whenever they step down on the field. Their efficiency will be put to test against Serbia if all the players step down on the field. One team that will be praying for their group win is England who would want to avoid every possible face off on the field.
3.) BRAZIL
Brazil is still considered as the best team with supporters across the globe rooting for them. There attack and defence will navigate them through almost all teams without even having to drop a single point. Playing with the same level of passion Brazil has got the capability to turn the match any day they want to.
4.) NETHERLANDS
Netherlands' performance against the Danes was pretty impressive with the Danes being dominated in every nook and corner of the field. Their attacks were well planned and Wesley Sneijder was way far too impressive on the field as he is off the field.
5.) IVORY COAST
Ivory Coast seemed quite soulless when they teamed against Portugal without Didier Drogba. Quite unfortunate for them for having to face champions like Brazil and Portugal. Looks like 2010 will not be the year where they will leave a mark for themselves. Nevertheless, all the best!!

Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bundesrepublik Deutschland...is the slogan of the thousands of german supporters in South Africa today. But here is not the end, crores of football lovers across the world are hoping for the next grand victory of Germany in the 19th World Cup again today. Today Germany will play against Serbia, another European country. It is going to be a match of tension, claimed the Serbian coach Radomir Antic as his team is going to meet one of the hot favourites of the World Cup, whereas German coach Joachim Loew is confident enough to bag his team's next victory today.
Loew as well as the Germans have already believed that Mesut Ozil would rise as one of the grand figures in this FIFA World Cup. In the last match against Australia, Ozil made some brilliant passes to Klose and Cacau, from which the latter scored the fourth goal. Philipp Lahm, the youngest ever captain of Germany has already shown his excellence in covering the left wing of the team. Ballack, who cannot play in this world cup due to his injury, is also hopeful of his country. Manuel Neuer, the German goalie proved himself deserved in the previous match by saving some deadly shots from Australian strikers.
The German trio - Thomas Muller, Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose will certainly put Serbia to the sword today. Klose, who is found in No 11 German jersey, needs just four goals to reach the former Brazilian striker Ronaldo, who is still the highest scrorer in the FIFA World Cups. Germans have won the world cup three times till now. It won the last in 1990 against Argentina. It ended up runners in 2002 and lost to Italy in the semi final in 2006. But this time, Germany is full of young blood. Apart from three players, all are in their early twenties. Therefore, these young germans would certainly gift some wonders to the football lovers across the world. Cheers for Germany.
