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.

Yeah Federer should beat Del potro. I know that their match in the French Open was close but that was in clay. This is Grass and it is Federer best surface and Del potro weakest surface. Murray vs Djoko is really hard to predict but I think Murray will beat him.

Murray has been playing better than Nole so far. Murray has a big chance of winning this match. It really depends on which Nole turns up though. Nole played well against Roddick.

I'll be surprised if Federer doesn't make the final.

At least Federer will almost surely be in the Gold Medal match. Love for it to be a Murray rematch for more than just the obvious reasons. Definitely think he's got a strong chance today but only if he keeps the unforced errors down. He's getting at least Bronze though.

Really hoping for a Williams/Kirilenko Final in the Womens. Fuck Sharapova and Azarenka.

Mixed Doubles last night was great. Fabulous Olympic atmosphere for it and Murray/Robson is a great little team. Need to beat Hewitt/Stosur today to get into a medal match.

Who wouldn't? I'd throw one up Kirilenko too, before Azarenka and the miserable one!

Really looking forward to Murray/Djokovic. Great odds of 11/8 for this to go to three sets with Paddy Power btw. They think it's 2-0 Djokovic. I don't see it going that way. I think it'll definitely go to three and neither's been too convincing. Murray didn't play too well against Baghdatis in the first set but aside from that he's done really well while Novak's been there for the taking at times. He keeps coming back though and you can see how much it meant to him when he beat Jo-Wilf yesterday.

For anybody at a loose end, check this out! If you like your footy you should enjoy this game. Starts in five minutes.

I watched the Kirilenko/Kvitova match yesterday, first time in a long while that I watched a full Kirilenko match, got to say - I quite enjoyed watching it/her :side:

Looking forward to the Andy Murray/Djokovic game today, hoping that Murray wins and we get a Murray/Federer final

Finally. EPIC MATCH.

Del Potro was incredible. He turns into beast mode when he faces Federer in a major.

C'mon Murray. Eliminate Djokovic please.

Edit: Just realized Sharapova is the final. Great news.

I really hope Del Potro wins the bronze, he deserves it.
