Hi Tennis fans,
It's that time again when you can display your predictive skills......
The real question is, can Andy do it this time ?
He's in the tough half of the draw: seeded 2, if all goes well he'd meet Tsonga in the quarters, and the winner of Nadal v Federer in the semis. By contrast it seems that Djokovic has an easy passage to the Final.

Djokovic for me I'm afraid.... although Del Potro could be dangerous and may cause a shock this year. ;)

I would love to see a Djokovic v Murray final, with Andy winning, but I have a horrible feeling that Nadal will spoil the party.

Tsonga's gone, retired with injured knee after 3 sets, which means that half the seeds have gone from Murray's half of the draw. Robredo (32), Youzhny (20) and Monaco (22) remain to be got rid of before he comes up against Federer. 8-)

Well they are dropping like flies, now Shazza out, but her Portuguese opponent held her nerve.
Can't believe the courts are so much different to previous years? Will anyone survive to make the finals?

Djokovic eases through but now faces Warrior's tip of Del Potro.....
Murray will now need a 'Braveheart' performance to come through his quarter-final: two sets behind and seemingly incapable of dealing with the excessive topspin applied by Verdasco. Still, he's broken serve in the third so the fightback begins !

Wonderful tournament so far and one of the greatest ever matches going on at the moment: "Jock" and "Del" going hammer and tongs at each other. 2 sets all after 4 hours ! Del Potro's match saving point in the fourth set tie break one of the best rallies (24 shots) I've ever seen.

Probably the final many were expecting i dare say! Id go so far as to say its written in the stars for Murray to win, with everyone either getting injured or prematurely knocked out!! Mind you i am a supersticious man ;)

Djokovic for me I'm afraid.... although Del Potro could be dangerous and may cause a shock this year. ;) A wonderful semi-final between those two yesterday, possibly the best game I have ever seen at Wimbledon with Del Potro taking Djokovic all the way despite not quite being 100% fit after his injury in the previous round..... Murray also played superbly to overcome the Polish missiles that were being fired at him by Jerzy Janowicz who will be a star of the future I am sure. 8-) So, now to the final and can Murray win it this year..... ::) ....his fourth consecutive Grand Slam Final so he has the experience now and I am sure that the crowd will get right behind him, but Djokovic always seems to find something special when he needs it so I think Murray will have to settle for the runners-up spot again this year. :'( |

Well Ladies first as is tradition, Lisicki for me as she plays with a smile on her face and doesn`t grunt or screech when playing!
And Murray for the mens final tommorrow, I thought he handled the Polish kid well yesterday adjusting to the Pole`s booming serve and returning really well. Is there a better returner of serve than Andy? Andy also had more Aces than Jerzy quite surprising but goes to show how much he has matured under the guidence of Mr Lendal
Lisicki and Murray to win ;)

Andy does it for G.B., banishing 77 years of hurt. Will probably get a knighthood to add to his 1.6 million payday. He deserves it !
BigJimSilverFox wins this bit of tipstering (the only person to officially tip Murray).
BigPhilMac wins silver with a bit of bet-hedging (originally tipping Djokovic but then saying Andy could do it.)
BB Warrior wins bronze, with tips of Djokovic, plus Del Potro who reached the semi-final.
