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.
YES! Federer won, and in straight sets too, that's great. He is using the old racket and he says he will probably use the bigger racket after the US Open.
She said persistent injuries, but i doubt it's actually for that reason. I read that she idolized Pete Sampras growing up, so maybe she felt she'd do a Sampras & retire after winning a Grand Slam.

You've had an unbelievable career & made your dream come true! Wishing you ALL the best girl! @bartoli_marion #persistencepaysoff #derserved
Fuck, Rafa won... With this form I can't see Federer doing much damage even though this court suits him more than Rafa.
I just hope that this one is closer than the one in IW and Rome.
What's happening to Ferrer btw, dude is so consistent but now is losing to some random mugs. You would expect him to win matches like this comfortably.
Predictions:
Del Potro in 2
Djokovic in 2
Murray in 3
Nadal in 2
A Murray/Nadal semi final would be really, really interesting.
Nadal has had an incredible year so far, with all the finals and all the titles he's won since injury and Murray's coming off his second grand slam which he won in great fashion. I think it would be a very close match, but would contain some excellent tennis.
Oh well... good showing from Fed, Rafa played well and was just too good in the end. I think this is Federer best match he's played this year. Hope to see more of this performances in the US Open
If Federer plays like he did for the first 2 sets than that's another outside contender for the US Open. He won't though. Not for 3 straight matches. Not even convinced he'll make the Quarters if he gets a tough draw. Nadal is BITW right now. Looks so much better than he did before Wimbledon. Even at the French where he was far from great.

But sXe said he was fantastic in the first week at the French, claiming he watched him.:lol Anyone who watched him wouldn't have described him as anything close to that.
I've not seen enough of the last two masters events unfortunately but it's great that Rafa's come back strong after the upset at Wimbledon.
Such a shame about Federer. Let's see if it motivates him. I'm sure it will. If he didn't have that passion, with his money in the bank he'd have walked away now to enjoy the money he's earned.
Nadal was bad in the 1st week of the French, especially in the 2nd & 3rd round. I still believe that Brands just played great tennis for 2 sets against Nadal, but Nadal wasn't great in that match either
Based on form & form alone, Rafa is the favourite for the US Open atm. He's playing great tennis
