Did any of you watch the 2005 Wimbledon matches? Congratulations to Roger Federer for his third straight Wimbledon title and to Venus Williams as well. I think it's interesting to see the different trophies that are awarded to the various champions. Here are some pictures from Yahoo! and the Wimbledon web page showing the trophies.

If you look closely at the Girls' Runner-Up trophy, you will see that it is in the form of a small clock. That is definitely the very first time I've seen an awarded trophy for a big tournament take the form of a clock. It's almost more of a consolation prize than a trophy.

Mixed Doubles Champions Mahesh Bhupathi and Mary Pierce

BAH. Lindsay and Andy are my two favorites. I guess I always have a thing for the runners up.
