I don't play much tennis, but I will attend a Wimbledon match.

Hell yes.


Still holding out for Roger to find his old magic at this place

Federer looked great in Halle, winning the title, but this Djoker's tournament to lose.

Women's side however I think is wide open, Halep and Bouchard look prime for a deep run. ARad should go deep again as well. Of course it all depends on if Serena is on top of her game or if she gets upset again.

The Draw is out

Cakewalk for Djokovic, Gulbis and Berdych in his draw and paired with Murray's bracket.

Nadal with the toughest draw. Gasquet, Raonic, Nishikori, Monfils.

Federer with easiest draw in Wawrinka's bracket with Isner and Janowicz.

As for the women Holy fricking shite at that top bracket with Serena. You've got Serena, Bouchard, Kerber, Sharapova in the same bracket. Who the frick did that stupid shite?! My god.

You're going to have Serena vs Bouchard and Sharapova vs Kerber in the round of 16. Just dumb, entertaining sure, but dumb. Bouchard and Kerber were dark horses to win it but to have to beat Serena or Sharapova just to get to the QF where you'll then have to beat whichever one you didn't face in R16 is insane. Those girls are fricked.

I was hoping to start this, thinking everyone was lost in World Cup hype.

I don't know, man, I think Nadal's quarter is easiest. Gasquet doesn't have a lot of firepower, Raonic ironically might be better on clay because he can tee off on high bouncing balls, and Nishikori is mentally soft. Janowicz can be scary, but he is in Roger and Stan's quarter.

I think Murray's quarter is pretty easy. Dimitrov and Dolgopolov are on the other half of it and his only real competition IMO.

Tsonga, Berdych, and Gulbis could all present problems in Djokovic's quarter.

Nadal is hinting his back hurts and I don't think makes the semis. I could see Roger get out of his quarter, but I can't see him beating three top guys in three out of five at this point to win it. I think Djokovic is going to be physically and mentally spent from Roland Garros.

Murray played well at Roland Garros until he ran out of gas against Nadal. I think he is the favorite here, but would not be surprised to see Berdych or Dimitrov win.

Murray has been playing shite tennis since last year's win. I wouldn't be surprised if he's out in the quarters.

He'll show up for this, plus he is more rested than most of the other contenders.

Sorry Hog, I started another one without first checking. We should use yours since you were first and have more pretty pictures.

Not so bold prediction: Djoker and Serena will win.

Djokovic yes, not sold on Serena having to beat Bouchard and Pova before the Semis.

Fact: since Grigor Dimitrov ditched Serena and started banging Sharapova, Serena has not merely beaten but goddamn destroyed Sharapova in every single match.

Fact: Sharapova hasn't beaten Williams since 2004

Fact: last time Williams played Sharapova on grass she beat her 6-0, 6-1.

Jesus, Rafa's draw is filthy.

He gets Klizan first round? Klizan's in good form. Nadal could very easily lose that match.

There was talk about this during the Quarters at the French. Didn't seem to stop him from blowing through the rest of the tournament.

And again, Djoker apparently pulled out of an EXO this week due to lingering issues with his wrist.

Would love to see Fed make a deep run here, but I just don't think he has another deep run in a best 3 of 5 GS tournament.
