    Im suprised there isnt a thread on this
    predictions for the wimbledon champion?
    i would say Federer or Nadhal.
    however, we cant rule murray out, not if he keeps playing as he is now.
    best game of tennis ive ever seen!
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Federer looks to be in fine form. He demolished Hewitt today in straight sets. That was impressive right there.

    I can't see past a Federer v Nadal final.

    And after years of having to endure people going 'Come on Tim!', now I have to put up with the same fuss over Andy Murray *rolls eyes*.

    Federer wasn't even playing his best today, and Hewitt has been worthless for ages anyway. Still, he's the man to beat. Nadal looks to be the only one with the chance to do it as well, though still think it's easily Federer's game.

    Really don't like Andy Murray either, dunno what it is about him but I just can't ever get behind him.

    It's not Murray I dislike really, just the endless tide of expectation and stuff that comes with these British contenders at Wimbledon.

    Im a HUGE fan of Arnaud Clement, the world no. 145. I was so shocked though to see him reach the Quarter Finals at the age of 30. Its so awesome.



    Murray match was awesome. I missed the Ancic-verdasco one though.

    i would agree that there is too much expectation over british tennis.
    but murray is playing better than henman ever could

    Well no, as much as I thought he was overrated Henman made the semis at Wimbledon a couple of times. When Murray does that or better than he will be a better player.

    murry could still make the semis though.
    albeit, beating Nadal will be difficult.

    Nadal wins in straight sets, he's a class apart from most aside from Federer really.

    More importantly, Clement is one set all against Schuettler.

    If Clement gets through, Nadal doesn't stand a chance. From the back of the court, shot for shot, Clement is the heavier hitter.

    Man, Murray got owned. I didn't really expect him to win, but I thought he'd give Nadal a tougher time than that.

    I think Nadal would have to be heavy favourite whoever he faces, on this form only Federer and maybe Djokovic can really touch him.
