Hot off the heels of an amazing French Open, the men and women now turn to the grass courts of Wimbledon. Can Rafa continue with his momentum, or can Novak wrestle it back? Can Federer rise up and collect another slam? Can Murray get a breakthrough slam in front of his home crowd? Will there be a darkhorse shocker like Tomic :side: to come through and take the world by storm?

I'm thoroughly looking forward to this event, it's my favourite slam and I'm really hoping to see some great tennis on display. As far as the ladies go, you'd have to think Sharapova, Kvitova, Serena, Azarenka etc will all be in the mix, Stosur a slight chance provided she doesn't choke it up in monumental fashion, and well, who knows with the women, Wozniacki might even break through and break her duck.

June 25th, can't come soon enough.

True. But she has taken on a new coach this year (Who coached Clijsters) so maybe her results will improve. She has already had her best Clay season this year so if she can stay healthy she may show better results on Hard.

I always thought that Sabine has the potential to be a solid top 10 player and grandslam winner but her head and injury struggles have prevented her from doing that. I also think that her results off grass havent been up standard becausse of her mental approach and not talent

Anyway, we will see.

Nadal, Ferrer, Djokovic and Murray are a given for the WTF, so for the other 4 I would like to see joining them are Federer, Del Potro, Wawrinka and Tsonga, but it will probably be Berdych, Del Potro, Federer and Tsonga/Wawrinka(it depends on Tsonga's injury really)

All of them shoulod make it apart from Tsonga. Tsonga depends on injury like you said really. It will be sad if he doesn't make it, because i'm going & i want to see Jo there.

Hopefully Stan replaces him

Federer withdraws from Montreal. Sensible decision, if his back is troubling him there is no need to play and make it worse. Plus he had no points to defend in this tournament

Hopefully he gets fit in time for Cincinnati, its one of his best tournaments.

Yeah, i have to agree thats the best decision for Roger.

So thats Federer & Tsonga out on the mens side & on the womens side, Sharapova & Lisicki have withdrawn.

That sucks because my interest in the womens side is now gone because Shvedova is also out.

The mens draw is here: http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2013/421/mds.pdf

Projected quarters...

Djokovic-Gasquet
Nadal-Wawrinka
Ferrer-Berdych
Del Potro-Murray

Very interesting if Del Potro & Murray meet in the quarters.

Seriously? You must basically have no interest in women's tennis at all if only Shvedova, Lisicki & Maria give you interest in it.
No. I meant from a supporting perspective. There is no one left for me to root for now. I will still pay attention of course but i wont be really invested in it.

It was probably a bad choice of words on my part

Secondly, i dont like Sharapova lol

& still won. So Del Po wins Washington without getting out of first gear. Now he just needs a decent run in one of the masters & stay healthy for the US Open. Then he will be set for the US Open, where he can do a lot of damage

Expected given his form.

Paire manages to beat someone due to superior mental strength. Never thought that would happen. It's WTA equivalent is Shvedova beating someone by mental strength :lol. Faces his best mate Wawrinka next round.

Kei Nishikori could break top 10 this week for the 1st time if he reaches the QFs
