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.

We got our wish Samoon :D. Llodra beats Gasquet 6-4,6-2,so the race is still very much on.

Hopefully Federer can secure a place this week (pretty much), and Stan + Jo can qualify next week

Dolgopolov can produce great tennis when his head is screwed on, so it won't be easy for Dimitrov.

Just seen that in the top half of the Basel draw, the highest ranked player after Del Potro is #57 Daniel Brands

Paris Draw....





Potential WTF showdown in Rd3 between Tsonga & Gasquet. It could end up being 'The winner makes it, the loser doesn't' scenario. Of course, it might depend on what Wawrinka does too

Yep, all comes down to Gasquet/Tsonga in Paris. They should just end the tournament after that tbh if Stan avoids an upset early. An all French battle in Paris will be lovely. It better be on at a work friendly convenient time of 4pm onwards.

Those already all set for Paris will be taking it easy this week. It's ridiculous London comes straight after.

They moved them back to back because they were complaining of the season being too long.

IMO, they should have it like....

Basel
Paris
Vienna
WTF

or just have a week between Paris & the WTF

Wawrinka only needs to win 1 match to guarantee WTF qualification. Tsonga needs to better Gasquet's result to qualify, and Gasquet will qualify if Wawrinka loses early and he gets to round 3 i think

I'd favor Del Po in a match against Nadal indoors. Nadal's top spin doesn't trouble Del Po as much as it does other players.

I think they key potential match is Djokovic
