Right its nearly that time of the year again and yes its going to rule my life for a few weeks.
So can anyone stop Federer on grass and will Djorkevic and Nadal be worthy competitiors this year? Will Roddick discover his best form and will Hewitt suddenly resurrect his form? And will Moaner Murray get anywhere in the competiton?
Your thoughts please......................
I personally think either Nadal or Djorkevic will face Federer in the final and i cant see anyone stopping him!!!

No love for the females mate lol
I like Djokovic v Roger in the final and Roger getting back to his winning ways.
Sharapova loves Wimbledon and I will pick her to win
Roddick is a mess at the moment, I don't know if he will ever get back to the top of his game, Blake probably is a better shout for the Yanks which isn't saying much.
Do or die time for Murray as he has underachived and has a chance to do things close to home and win his fanbase back. |

I dont back Ivanovic here for some reason i feel Jankovic has her numer on grass and of course Sharapova will have her say on here. With No Clisters and Henin here and Mauresmo struggling there's plenty of opportunity for some shock person to get in the final like last year.
With regards to Murray when he was releasing a autobiography Djorkovic was winning slams. (Goodness i hate people who release a biography when only in their early 20's!) |

Despite his recent struggles Federer will be just too strong for the rest.
Murray will have one good win and then be decimated by a one legged blind player from Tibet ranked 1,000,000 in the world who only took up the game a week ago. |

Again I will support Roddick, but again he will fail.
I think Federer will win again, he has looked impressive so far against Hbarty. |

^Federerererer looked great yesterday!
The match was a slaughter but it was played in a great spirit between two good mates.
Anyone see Hrbarty's winner down the line whilst running in the wrong direction and not looking? lol The crowd and either player couldn't stop laughing at it afterwards.
Federererer will have to give it away for someone else to win, nobody is good enough on grass to take it from him. |

Jankovic looked real impressive in her first match maybe this is the year she can make it hers.
Roddick also looked good considering he is coming off that shoulder injury, also his fiancee Brooklyn Decker was looking good in the crowd. |

^Yeah I agree about Murray's girlfriend, way out of his league.
I wonder what she actually sees in millionaire tennis payer Andy Murray???  |

^ I was thinking the same. it appeared that the cameramen knew the camera was much better on his girl than on him.
Roddick has an impressive list of exes including Mandy Moore yum. Anyways shocker with Djokovic going out to SAFIN! I didn't think he still played lol Ana really dodged a bullet as well. Its all heating up! |

Rafa didn't play a good tennis at the beginning, but in his last two matches he played very well in my opinion, although he still have a little chance of beating Federer (if he reach the final) ... But yesterday he played much much better than Andy Murray I think:
Murray's interview:
http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/ne...161609.html?promo=personalization
I don't like Federer win this one ... I think Andy Roddick had a good chance of beating him ... he made stupid mistakes in his last match, but he was great, he played well, that was one of the best matches of this Wimbledon I think. ... He had about 30 aces ... I didn't get why he lost ... lol.
Hopefully Rafa will make it this time  |

Yeah it was one of the best tennis matches I've ever seen too what a match, very exciting ... also it was the longest one 7 hours (2 hours or more rain delay though).
Although both sides made lots of mistakes (Federer more) but the game was fantastic ... Rafa deserved to win ... It was Rafa's best play I've ever seen  |
