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.

I can't wait for Friday now for Federer/Djokovic. Both have had their shaky moments but Federer looked very impressive today. If he wants to get to the final he'll have to keep to that level to stand any chance. Any drop in performance and Novak will tear him apart.

I'm pretty sure it's the first time Fed/Djok meet at the Wimbledon or playing on center court (something along those lInes, i could be wrong though). It will be a very interesting match-up considering both players are in top form. I would still have to favor Djokovic though.

Muarry can only win points off others mistakes. Thats why he loses against top, top players because those don't make mistakes

That was a great first set of tennis. Very entertaining.

Thought Ferrer had blown it after dropping the break, but played great stuff in the TB. Murray could be in trouble here.

Federer-Djokovic should be a classic. The Champion vs The GOAT. IMO it would be the most fitting final. I'd love a Tsonga-Federer final though, after their epic last year.

Ferrer is really getting the better of Murray in these rallies. Ferrer has been so good in this tournament. For a guy labelled as a clay court specialist he's really turned it on.

Up a set and break, serving for a two set lead. Murray hanging on.

Novak/Roger, Wimbledon. MIND = BLOWN.

And lolMurray... Even if he beats Ferrer somehow, he's gonna get destroyed by Tsonga in semis.

This is a brilliant match so far. The rallies have been incredible and Ferrers defensive skills have been exceptional. I still think Murray wins this, in four or probably five.

Tsonga through, the hero.

The Semi's should both be superb games. Murray should win this now, Ferrer, much like Roddick against him, seems to have missed his chance.

Seb said Murray was "far better" than Tsonga on grass. So we shall see.:kobe

I can understand the "home" crowd, but how can anyone even cheer for him?

I hope Ferrer pulls through this...
If not, I hope Tsonga kills him.
If not, I hope Nole kills him.
Someone will.

I think Tsonga is a much better matchup for Murray that Ferrer is. While Tsonga can hit a lot of winners, he also makes a lot of errors with that style. Also Tsonga obviously isnt as likely to get all the balls back Ferrer is getting which makes things easier for Murray. Murray usually wins against Tsonga for a reason (when has he lost to him?), he's a great counterpuncher and that style suits vs a big hitter as he'll force him to make mistakes.

This match isnt over though, wouldnt surprise me to see Ferrer take this fourth set. Still, Murray in four or five.

re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread

Anyone taking Tsonga lightly is crazy. He's improved greatly in the last 12 months, not to mention what he did to Federer at Wimbledon last year. They had a very close match on grass at Queens last year which Murray only just edged. Tsonga's very unpredictable but he can be very dangerous if he can maintain his consistency for a whole match which he's doing more & more now. He came so close to beating Djokovic at the French too with the five match points.

It'll be a closer match than most people think. Murray will be favourite, just, but don't write Tsonga off. They've not met recently that I can remember but Tsonga's so much better now than he was a year ago. He'll push Murray all the way.

Awesome looking pair of semis. With Nadal out they're both extremely equal. Think it's gonna be a Murray/Djokovic final now. Ferrer is every bit as good as Tsonga and Murray looked really good against him. Can't see Federer beating Djokovic unless he brings his absolute A Game. Wimbledon Final with Murray would be so awesome.
