Looks like Nadal turned all the fits into forehand winners

He will do that. Im just glad to see he has gotten into his rhythm quickly unlike his opener at the F.O.

Im partial though

Should have some interesting matches by the middle/end of the first week. Nadal may have a tough time with the Canadian Missile, Raonic, and then Del Pol shortly after. Will be interesting to see how Djoker does if he gets the big serving Anderson in round two. And while Fed's other seeds on his side of the draw include some clay court specialist (Ferrer), big serving Isner is a few matches away.

I was looking at the draw yesterday and thought the same thing. My DVR is gonna be burning up this week.

As a Nadal fan, I’m terrified of this matchup! I’m glad to see Rafa has (knocks on wood) gained his grass form earlier this year than he has in years past. It’ll still be a tough match if the Canuck is serving as well as he did in the Australian Open.

Is it me or is Wimbeldon starting early this year? I thought it always started in July or maybe the last Monday in June. Australian--January, French--June, Wimbeldon--July, Open--August.

Well, isn't the finals weekend always on the weekend of the 4th of July? If that's right, then two weeks in from today, the Championship Sunday would be on July 3rd...so I think its starting at the same time it always has.

Should I put 50 each on Nadal (2 to 1) and Fed (9 to 4)? Or should I pick one? I'm thinking the former.

How has no one mentioned the Isner-Mahut matchup?

It's not going to be that good a match. I think Isner rolls through him in straight sets.

Yes this was my first thought when I saw those odds. You either break even or make $12.50. However, you lose $100 if Djokovic or someone else fricks this up.

Murray just lost the first set to a little known Spanish player. After the rain delay the court is playing very slow which is helping this Spanish guy.

Could be two straight grand slams where Murray plays poorly.

Djokovic has a similar problem as Delpo on grass, although not nearly as bad. They both move well but rely on long strides, which leaves them sliding around on grass.
