I was just about to start this!

My predictions:
Men: Federer pulls another one out of his arse that he shouldn't win

Women: Clijsters

Upset of the tourney: Ryan Harrison over Andy Murray first round

I would love this so much. A Louisiana boy knocking off one of the more unlikable players in the field.


I actually think Harrison gives him a bit of a scare (wins a set and forces another one to 7-5)

Yeah should be a good game with Ryan's solid serve, but Murray is a god when it comes to retrieving. Definitely not your typical first round match for a top seed, but Murray wins it.

I'm not sure who the Germans hold their hat on in this draw.

Is Brad Gilbert drunk? Just said Murray would win 2 majors and finish #1

I was wondering the same thing. Dude needs to pump the brakes. Murray will be doing good to make a final.

I'm still of the opinion that Murray doesn't have the mental toughness to win a major.

Cardboard has a better personality than him and when he makes a mistake on the court, it takes him a game or two to get over it.

Needs to loosen up big time.

Murray is plenty mentally tough. He simply doesn't have elite firepower or physical tools

In the circuit tourneys, sure. But the majority of his losses in the slams have been him cracking under the immense pressure.

I really do think Azarenka believes that she is Sharapova. Everything about her is a complete replicate of Maria.

Bump.

Del Potro dropped the first set 6-2 to Mannarino, but he has recovered in the second set and is up 4-0 and serving.

Mattek-Sands always rocks the eye black and some crazy outfit. It's her schtick.
