^wtf?!! Murry won french open? You mean US?

Yeah my bad... I meant he won US Open after he nearly won Wimbledon last year & won the Olympic gold medal there later on.
I didn't mean he's my favorite player or that he's my fave to win it this year too though... I was just wondering if Roger still got it.

Anybody watch the final?

I watched parts of the last set... Dude is crazy... he holds the record for most titles for a single Grand slam already & definitely has more in him to come back & win it again.

It's scary how good he is on clay.

I know... sometimes it feels like the others aren't good at all & he literally has no competition on clay... esp. when he's 100% fit.

His clay domination is absolutely ridiculous.

Wimbledon begins in a week. Predictions?

Predictions? Umm... More not whats likely but hopes. What I'd want.

Nole to win the final in 4 sets against Nadal.

Nadal to meet Murray in the Quaters. Beat him.

Federer to have "easy draw". Meet Nole is semi's. Lose to him.

The draw will determine quite a bit on how this tournament progresses particularly with Nadal likely to be a Fifth seed and meet one of the Big Four in the quaters.

Totally agree about Nadal's clay domination been absolutely ridiculous.

As for Wimbledon...The ones I'd want to win it are Djoko or Dimitrov but I think Murray will have the slight edge above all of them. I don't wanna write Federer off to be honest but his inconsistency & lack of fitness for the last 2 years or so has been annoying as fuck.

Anyone have a bracket with seedings? If Nadal can get to the quarters without dropping too many sets, if any, I think he'll be tough to beat for anyone bar Djokovic.

It's probably just me but I never put Nadal up there if we talk about Wimbledon. It's probably kinda wrong but I don't even take him too seriously if we talk about Wimbledon. Kinda like I never took too seriously Roger if we talk about Roland Garros... or let alone Pete Sampras.

Djokovic supports Chelsea

Djokovic supports Chelsea

He does?

Murray's potential route to the final is insane. Tsonga in the quarters, Nadal/Fed in the semis and Djok in the final.

With Roddick retired, I'd like to see Djokovic win Wimbledon. I really like his attitude.

OUCH! It'd be more than amazing if it went down like that & there weren't any big surprises on the way & Murray went against them one by one & won it.

If Federer wins Wimbledon after beating Nadal, Murray nd Nole.... It will be the greatest moment of his career.

Possible, but unlikely. Betting on it is the equivalent of predicting Liverpool winning the league.

I agree... it's the first time for a long time now I almost write him off.

Worrying times for Nadal right now!

Edit: Oh my, 2-0 to Darcis! I obviously wouldn't rule out Nadal just yet, but things are looking for for Darcis.

What a game, congratulations Darcis!

Yay a Belgian beat Nadal
