THEME: RUSSIAN MIRACLE
The Wimbledon victory of Maria Sharapova is quite importance in its symbolism. She declared that her goal was to win for mother Russia. A week earlier, thousands turn out to see the Virgin of Tikhvin, which was returned to Russia from the USA. People believe that the Virgin is endowed with the power to create miracles. This belief is now confirmed with the Wimbledon victory.

This should have a powerful boost to the Russian markets which have been battered by the dirty Yukos affair.
