I will be supporting Marcos Baghdatis and hoping he can put on a good show.
The guy lost his chance to win a grand slam in 2006/07. He was awesome. I really thought this guy would be something special but injury ruined him. I highly doubt we will ever see him win a grand slam title which is a shame the guy was good and never got the chance to hit his peak.

Meh, i'll give him the 3rd round, not further. But you're right, never used his full potential.

The sad part about this is that i'll be surprised if he even makes the 3rd round.

I hope i'm wrong though.

Baghdatis has the game, but his mind is almost as fragile as his aging body (compared to someone like, say, Hewitt, who's mind is iron tough, but his body is glass and his game suffers due to that).

I'm annoyed that it starts on the 25th as I love watching the event, but it's on during the early hours of the morning which means I'll miss most of the 1st week because school is still in session. Oh well, the 2nd week is in the holidays when it gets serious, so all good really.

It will be the big four again, I'm predicting, draw is not out yet but still, most likely big four in the semis again

**Bullseye** · 06-21-2012, 02:59 AM

Big 4 is possible but if the last 2 years are anything to go by, then we could see the emergence of another threat to the top 3, someone like JDP, or Tsonga, or Berdych again. I'm thinking this is Fed's last shot at Wimbledon, and it'll all hinge on a SF clash with Novak. Murray won't go close to challenging for the title either.

**Tyler Durden** · 06-21-2012, 03:03 AM

Biggest dark horses are Raonic and Del Potro imo.

Yea this is probably Fed's last chance at Wimbledon, he's got a better chance at US Open than on here.

Don't forget the Olympics will actually be payed at Wimbledon

**Bullseye** · 06-21-2012, 03:14 AM

Raonic's mind will ruin him, and JDP's body will ruin him (like it did in the french quarter).

**Tyler Durden** · 06-21-2012, 03:25 AM

Faster surface suits both playing styles though, it will be less physically draining for Del Potro that could help him.

**NJ88** · 06-21-2012, 06:14 AM

I think Del Potro, Tsonga or Berdych could upset the top four in the quater finals. It seems like Federer is most at risk from this as it's happened to him the last two Wimbledons now. I think the title is either Djokovic's or Nadals though. Aside from supporting Murray, I'll be supporting Federer as it would be magical to see him win another Wimbledon and it would be a really special thing to happen imo.
