Noone expected Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova to win against 5-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in a thrilling 6-2, 6-3 quarter-final game. So unexpected was Pironkova's success that no Bulgarian journalist had been assigned to cover Wimbledon this year. Now all of Bulgaria has its eyes firmly directed towards SW19 in hope that Pironkova will nail it ('piron' in Bulgarian means 'nail') and possibly make it into the final. Not since the success of Maleeva sisters or the disappointment of Sesil Karatancheva, who after a 2 year ban for drug abuse now plays for Kazakhstan, has Bulgarian tennis shown such promise. Let's hope that Pironkova nails it all the way.
