I P Knightley Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 murray has Daniel Gimeno-Traver mahut plays isner Can't help but feel that the Mahut v Isner will be the largest anti-climax. Still, if it deflects the slightest attention from the usual ridiculous brit-mania, it can only be a decent thing. Murray's route has him seeded to meet Roddick in the quarters and Nadal in the semi-final. Once again, some quarters of the media are drooling at the prospect of a Nadal v Federer final as if they might end up playing the same match they had in 2008. Buckle in and get ready for the ride.

shaun.lawson Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Interesting draw - but not really what Murray was looking for. Yet again, he's in Nadal's half: this keeps happening at Grand Slam after Grand Slam, and the odds against it must be seriously substantial. He also has the unpleasant prospects lurking of Cilic in round 3, and Warwinka or Gasquet in round 4: two of these players have beaten him in Slams, all three have pushed him to the limit. Nadal, though, has the one nobody wanted: Del Potro in round 4, followed by the always dangerous (though completely off his game over the past year), Berdych in the quarters. To put that into perspective, if Murray had landed those two (especially JMDP), we'd all be panicking. Despite his return to form at the French, I think Federer is ripe to be upset at Wimbledon; and I like Djokovic's draw a lot. In spite of his unbelievable record this year, he can ease through the tournament under the radar: all the media and public attention will be on the other three. Predictions: Semi-Finals: Nadal v Murray Tsonga v Djokovic Final: Nadal v Djokovic Champion: Nadal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you fancy anyway apart from half the women competing ? Got to say Djoko at the moment from his side of the draw and Nadal from his - boring I know. I do think Murray will be in the mix this time, but even if he gets past Nadal in the semi (don't see him slipping up before then tbh), that will tire him and he might struggle in the final as a result. Quite fancy a dark horse run like Berdych's this year as well though. My tiny mind can't cope with reading the full draw, but I'd say Cilic could go on a decent run if he's likely to avoid the big guns? If not, maybe a Troicki or a Melzer could be the guy to surprise a few. Looking forward to it anyway. Not least to get my annual look at Wozniacki and Ivanovic in the whites.

Tazio Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 So far in the annual "who's got the biggest nipples" contest at Wimbledon Dokic is in the lead. Poor showing by her opponent, who looks a lot like a Sicilian mafioso hitman from the 1930's. I await the other matches with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him keeping this level up for an entire five set match - but well, who knows? Memo to Andy: 1. Tell Mum to GTF. 2. Lose the green flash, and replace it with maroon, pronto.

He had the same pose, the same pursed expression at every moment of every single match he ever watched. I've seen him in Oxford a couple of times, and he's exactly the same as back then too.
