sorry paddy, this title has murrays name written all over it.
I have a spanish wife and tomorrow we fly over to scotland for holiday...told her we either see nessie or murray wins wimbledon.
whats realistic for you????
Ive been watching Nadal throughout this year and I think he now has the class to win Wimbledon, I know grass is not his favourite surface but I think he will still win this year.
Regards Paddy
Paddy he had the class in 2008 when he beat Federer in what was the greatest match/final of all time.

Vamos Rafa !!! :DDDD:

Tough Final ahead for the Spaniard though against Berdych.

I'll go for Nadal in 4, to claim his 8th Slam. :DDDD:

Interesting comments from Barry Cowan today on SkySports news stating that he thinks if Serena Williams played on the mens tour, she would Rank around the 1,000 mark !!!!

Surely that's a little harsh.

No sure about the 1,000th mark but Serena did say herself she probably wouldn't beat any man in the top 100

Do you guys think Federer's time has passed? Or do you think he can bounce back and return to winning ways?

In all honesty I think he hasn't won his last slam yet, but I don't think he'll ever return to the number 1 spot again.

I reckon Federer has Won his last Major.

(Mind you I said that a few years ago about Taylor :? )

Nadal to dominate for a few years now (injuries permitting), but I think Rogers Slam record of 16 is safe for a long time to come.

2010 US Open:

* No Del Potro to defend his Title.

* Nadal looking beatable on the hard courts.

* Federer surely too old now.

Is this the best chance yet for Andy Murray to Win his first Slam.???

Yes, wrist injury has seen him out since january.

Just been thinking:-

Who was the last player in the mens game to Win three consecutive Majors all on three different surfaces.?

That's what Nadal is looking to achieve this weekend.
