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.
Raonic needs to fuck off. I want to see him in London as much as I do another million fucking illegals. Equally irritating, despite not actually being anywhere near London. Still I know I want, or don't in this case.

And for those who don't know, Nadal is not there cause he withdrew from the tournament
What a horrible draw for Gasquet. Federer's got a peach. Dimitrov highest seed in his quarter. Berdych only higher in his half. Gasquet with Llodra in R1, potential QF with Del Potro. Fucking joke!
Looks like Del Po/Stan & Federer/Berydch semi finals. As much as I love Del Po, an all Swiss final would be superb to watch in Basel too.
He shouldn't really be beaten by anyone before the semis. It would take a really poor performance to see him eliminated by anyone in his path before Berdych.
I don't know seriously, I mean this year, he has lost so many matches he shouldn't have. Like against Robredo, Monfils, Del Bonis, Benneteau, etc. So I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose before the semis.
Is Ferrer crazy? How many tournaments is he going to play? After the USO, hes played Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Shanghai, Stockholm and in his schedule, he is still going to play Valencia, Paris and WTF. Like seriously, he is 30 now and hes not been in good form lately, he should stop playing so many tournaments
Well he is about to win a tournament so I guess his bad run has ended. In fairness to him he wouldn't be as highly ranked as he is if he took on the schedule of a Djokovic or a Federer. He's got the fitness levels to do it and it's bumping his ranking up higher than it really should be so why should he cut back?
That's great but Ferrer was quite bad on the last two sets tbh, way to many unforced errors and didn't take his chances and did a double fault to give the break to Dimitrov in the deciding set. Still though, good for Dimitrov, hope more to see more titles wins from him.
Reaching the final in Stockholm doesn't mean shit, and he lost a set in all the matches he played before the final. I saw his match against Gulbis and he played bad, he would have lost if it wasn't for Gulbis choking in the 2nd set and then playing like shit after that(think Gulbis made around 50 unforced erros). Playing many tournaments has been affecting him lately, compare how is he playing now and in RG this year its a big difference. he is already 30, he is not young anymore, its clear that he cannot play so many tournaments any more. I'm not saying he should schedule like Djokovic or Federer but he shouldn't be playing so many tournaments like he is doing now.
He played badly, his first serve percentage was only 35, that's awful. Shame seriously, this could affect his WTF chances, just hope Gasquet loses today and does badly in Paris because I want Tsonga, Fed and Stan to qualify.
Berydych losing isn't that surprising since he always does badly in Basel and Karlovic can be dangerous opponent.
Hope Dimitrov and Fed can win tonight, really would like to see a Federer/Dimitrov match
