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.

Federer is not safe either tbh, he is only ahead of Stan by 100 points and 290 points of Gasquet, and he is only playing 3 tournaments while Gasquet, Wawrinka and Tsonga are all playing 5-6 tournaments before WTF. He need to do really well in Shanghai and Basel to qualify. I think he should have played in Toyko honestly, he has not played many matches this year plus he needs more points for the WTF.

Remember at the end of last year, when i asked for people to post a list of their top 10 favorite players, and in the end seeing who are the more popular players on here?

Well i thought maybe we can do it again :p

In case you forgot, he is the point distribution

#1 = 10
#2 = 9
#3 = 8
#4 = 7
#5 = 6
#6 = 5
#7= 4
#8= 3
#9 = 2
#10= 1

You can include players from both tours if you want, and retired players can count too. You must have AT LEAST 5


Okay, so i'll start :D

1. Tsonga- Still my favorite, and it'll likely remain that way. Just so entertaining to watch & a great guy too

2. Del Potro- Remains my 2nd favorite. Awesome FH & a genuine great guy

3. Brands- I am a true Brandwagoner now. I began liking him last year after his match with Del Po last year, but after watching him more this year i have become a big fan.

4. Paire- He's an idiot & a clown, but i can't help but like him. He's always entertaining

5. Sampras- One of the best. Many people thought he was boring, but i loved his brilliance

6. Nishikori- Down a bit from last year, but i still have high hopes for him.

7. Wawrinka- Made me a fan at the AO this year, and has since been awesome. His Bh is an amazing shot

8. Lisicki- I've always liked her, but she won me over big time at Wimbledon. Great to watch when she's playing well, awesome smile, & a lovable person

9. Shvedova- Still remains one of the best players to watch on the WTA tour, but she's just been so useless this year and it's annoying to see her wasting talent like that

10. Llodra- One of the last S&Vers on tour and has one of the most pleasing games to watch


Post your top 10 favorite tennis players atm, and we can compile a list

I'm no expert on tennis and never played the game. However, based on what I know VIKTORIA FYODOROVNA AZARENKO/ВИКТОРИЯ ФЕДРОРОВНА АЗАРЕНКОis best among the women.

Besides, how many tennis players are on a postage stamp issued that commemorates them! :ex: - Mike
