Yeah, it's come up so soon. I hope Roddick takes it out, seeing as he should have won in 2004. He has started off well by winning Queens. Federer is the smart money bet though.

I always enjoy watching the grand slams so hopefully Wimbledon will stay dry and we can see some good tennis.
It's a shame that british interest is very minimal this year, Henman is past it and Murray is doubtful with a wrist injury (Even if he makes the tournament he hasn't played a match for 3 months so he'll not get very far).
Obviously i want Murray to win but when he gets knocked out i'll be rooting for Roddick, He was on a British chat show last week and he was so funny.

As long as Federer doesn't win, I'll be happy.
I would crap myself if Roddick could somehow win. If not, I'd be happy with Nadal.

Murray or Roddick or Hewitt or Nadal, I'd like either of them to win.

Hewitt has no chance. He has really lost his touch since 2005.
Davydenco (sp?) will get to the Semi, and everyone seems to have forgotten about Safin...

Federer's gonna win...
But I don't think he'll face Nadal in the finals... I think it'll be Roddick.

I hope Nadal goes out first round. He just doesn't intrest me one bit. The only way he can win is out-rallying people; which is why he is so successful on clay. I tend to pay no notice during the clay season, though.

Hewitt has no chance. He has really lost his touch since 2005. I wasn't saying I think he will win. I just want him to. He's always been one of my favourite players and his post-match interviews crack me up.

Well, it's about a 80% chance that it will be Nadal vs. Federer in the finals with a 100% it will be Federer in the finals winning it....
On that note, I may just not watch the early rounds which will be filled with quick rape matches from both Nadal and Federer.
Let's face it, this is pretty much just a two man tournament just like the French open this year.
On the women's side of things, is it wrong to want Ivanovic to win because she it hot?

Well, we'll see this week. There is only two players that make up tennis and that's Nadal and Federer with Roddick stepping in sometimes. I would love to see Andy win but I don't think it will happen

Nadal is what I like to call an excessive topspin 'pusher'. But he's a good at it. His shots are too loopy for my liking.
Plus, Andy Roddick got a bad draw in the French... the guy just didn't miss.

Watching Federer/Gabashvili and Roddick/Gimelstob at the moment. Roddick is looking really good so far. Gabashvili's serving is absolutely terrible at times

Andy Roddick played well. Gabshvili or whatever just looked plain terrible... compared to Federer.
