Who will win Wimbledon?

British working class kids don't want to play tennis, as simple as, just as British Asian boys don't aspire to play professional football in the Premier League, going for cricket instead. It's a cultural thing, kids playing the sports that make their parents happy. We should not worry about not having any decent tennis players in the United Kingdom. Tennis is for posh kids and if it doesn't work out then university will save the day. The fact we fired Brad Gilbert today, some say the best coach there is in the sport, suggest there is noone who can produce a Wimbledon singles champion out of a British player. We even started scouting English players with Eastern European ...  Read the complete review

I must say that I have been very impressed with the start Andy Murray has made at Wimbledon this year. Still, it is really important in my opinion to give the Scot some space and i hope the press don't blow his performances out of all proportion. He played brilliantly against Andy Roddick, but lets face it Federer beats Roddick every year here, so for Murray the hard work is still to come. I think in two/three years time Murray may well have the game, composure and mental capacity to win Wimbledon - as well as the fact that Federer will be getting older, probably training less and if he starts a family then tennis will mean less. For this year ...  Read the complete review

Goran Ivanisevic is one of the greatest characters you could ever wish to meet, and I want to know why he hasn’t won Wimbledon. He has two faces like a coin at one time he’s up for the game, and other times he’s down, gets angry and throws his racquet around. He is a great grass court player mainly because of his deadly weapon, the serve that recorded him 41 aces in his one match against Andy Roddick. Despite not winning Wimbledon this time around could be Gorans year, even though he has dropped in the rankings to 128th in the world. He is my dark horse and being a three time runner up you have to feel he deserves it this year, with serves of ...  Read the complete review

While Sampras does have an excellet serve, and fantastic ground strokes, Rafter must be given the advantage in this match. Sampras' niggling injury has haunted him throughout the tournament, meanwhile, Rafter has gone from strength to strength. The Rafter serve was perticulary impressive against Agassi, a match where he polished off any minor errors in his game. The same can hardly be said of Sampras' training run against gallant qualifier, Voltchkov. Rafter's net play may well nullify any advantage Sampras may have had in the ground strokes department. That said, Sampras has done this 6 times before, and is rightly regarded as world champion. ...  Read the complete review

Cometh the hour cometh the man, and on Sunday afternoon I believe this man will be Rafter, he proved this afternoon that when the going gets tough Rafter gets goingAgassi was my favorite for the title but he was shown the way out by the better man on the day. In the other semi Sampras always looked comfortable after winning the first set. Or did he? The injury he has may have caused him to withdraw from todays game if his opponent had won the third set, it was lucky for Samprass that the formalities were over sooner rather than later. With the injury I don't think Samprass will be upto an onslaught, he will want a quick match and everything over ...  Read the complete review
