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.

Ferrer's the best of the rest but the top 4 are pretty much unbeatable unless you can hit a winner out of nothing. Otherwise you're relying on them playing bad. At least we're constantly blessed by the Finals of Slams being between the 2 best in the world. Finalists in both the Mens and Womens are the 2 best players in the world right now for mens and womens.

Honestly wouldn't say there's anything between Murray and Djokovic right now. Djokovic hasn't really been tested this tournament but he's fluffed against the big 4 this year and Murray's in the best form of his life right now with no doubt. Still sticking with Murray to win as I said at the start. Either way it's gonna be a great Final. Womens might be great for different reasons though. Done and dusted in an hour on court? Wouldn't surprise me. Serena's title to choke away.

Final Predictions:

Serena in 2 sets
Murray in 5 sets

Seriously, I think we might be in for a five set thriller tomorrow! If Murray could come through a five set match with Djokovic it would make his win that much better. Hoping for it!

Errani & Vinci have won the womens doubles btw.

I said Djokovic from the start, and i'm sticking to it. He's looked comfortable so far with the exception being the 1st set against Ferrer. One thing though, is how will Murray handle the pressure here. He hasn't won a slam yet, plus he's got a lot of expectation on him. He should be fine, but you never know. I think Djokovic will get it done in 4 or 5, but i wouldn't be surprised either way.

As for the womens, i wonder if we will see destroyerena. If so, then it's not going to be competitive. I think Serena will get it done in 2.

On the topic of the Big 4 vs the rest. I think the main difference between them and the rest is consistency. They are far more consistent than the rest in matches and tournaments. You get guys like Tsonga who are very talented and on their day can match the best, but the problem is, it doesn't happen enough.

The Lendl factor has been the changing point for sure and why I've been tipping him to win one of the next 4 slams since Wimbledon. It's not just his coaching but his experience and how his carear was basically going in the same direction as Murray before he won a Slam.

Hope Serena threatens to kill line judges again if she loses.
