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.

nazzac are you in love with shvedova? you talk so highly of her, like someone who is in love. :lol

why did davdenko retire?

djokovic needs to get eliminated or else he can get the no.1 spot back which is something i don't want.

Maybe Federer has to be the one to beat him.

Any news on why Davydenko retired? There seems to be a lot of retirements in this tournament.

I'm pulling for Del Potro to win it, but he probably won't. At least get through Chardy DelPo.

Go Kerber!! Way to knock Rena out of Cincy. Straight sets 6-4,6-4. This was not the destroyer Ren we saw at OG. The older Williams is through to Semi Finals. Defeated Stosur in 3 sets. Venus is in some good form at the moment.

Djokovic easily disposing of Cilic. Djokovic finding some good form in Hard Court season. No Surprise really. Del Potro will face him in the semi finals after beating Chardy in 2 sets. I hope Del Potro can do it, but i can see Novak taking this, In fact i see Novak winning the tournament. He's on a mission to become number 1 again it seems.

I'm gonna need it :lol

I agree. Can't wait for that match. I hope Del Potro is at his best or somewhere near his best, as we could be in for a great match between 2 players on their favourite surface

Federer vs Wawrinka and Djokovic vs Del Potro for the semis. Federer will probably win against Wawrinka. Djoko vs Potro should be really good. Both are in incredible form in this tournament so it will be hard to predict. Hoping for Del Potro to win of course.

If Fed and Potro meet in the final they will be facing for the 7th time this year. So far, this year Federer has won all his matches against Del Potro.

I have only had the chance to watch five of them, but that is the first thing that came to mind as well. Unfortunately I am thinking Djokovic isn't going to allow an opportunity for an eighth.

Also my cable provider finally added the Tennis Channel so I am very happy about that. Besides the Majors and a few other tournaments I always had to view it online.

My created player on Top Spin :troll

Li Na seems to be in good form at the moment. She did well at Montreal, and now she destroyed Radwanska 6-1,6-1 to reach the Semis of Cincy

He would probabaly win a Golden match against me, never mind a Golden set. :lol

Inconsistent is right. She goes from being Bageled by Shvedova at Roland Garros (as the defending champion) to destroying the world number 2 in the space of 2 months. If she keeps this form up, she could very well be a threat at the US Open

Slava vs Jankovic in the 1st round of Dallas. Slava to win this in 2. Jelena is past it, and Slava is on good form. Should be an easy win under normal circumstances.

But i'd rather her pull out tbh. Don't risk injury, illness, tiredness etc, and be fit for the US Open. Now that she is there, i wouldn't mind if she loses or wins tbh. A win will see her take some steps towards the top 20, a loss will give her more time to rest of the US Open, so it's win-win situation really. Only thing i hope, is that nobody gets injured or picks up an illness.

I also think that the winner of the Del Potro vs Djokovic semi final, will win the Cincy tournament.

Looking forward to Djokovic/Del Potro today, should be a really great match. I think Del Potro is close to being back to his best, so this could be a good indicator. Federer should come through fine, so the final should be great too.

On the womens side, I wasnt surprised to see Serena lose, she's played so so much over the last few months she'll be knackered! Same with Andy Murray, wasn't shocked to see him lose his match either. I still think both will do very, very well at the US Open, with both making the final.

Also shocked to see Venus Williams in the semi's too. She's good when she's good, but she's awful when she has an off day. I honestlty thought her singles career was headed downhill, but she can obviously still go far in tournaments. Hopefully she comes through her semi and into the final.

Djokovic has defeated Del Potro in 2 sets. 6-3,6-2. Didn't watch the match due to football being on, so i can't comment on whether Nole was good or Del Potro was crap

Federer vs Djokovic in the final. Interesting, doesn't matter much if Federer loses, he will still remain No.1. It would be better if he wins so the gap between him and Djoko extends.

But I want him to win so that he has a positive head to head against Djokovic.

Lol, Federer absolutely outplayed Djokovic. He was in great form in all week, never lost a set. Djokovic was in great form too coming into this match. Federer's forehand was amazing tonight. Djokovic never had a chance.

This is the first time there was a bagel in a match between these two. Federer was fanatastic.
The gap between them is extended(in term of points). Federer also broke record for winning the most Cincinnatis. This is his 5th Cincinnati.

Liking Federer chances in the US Open.
