Rafa's doubtful because of the knee injury - but I've taken 11/4 for him to win - he's got two weeks to get fit    If anyone can he can!  And it might all be exaggerated paper talk!

Wimbledon 2009: Doubts grow over Rafael Nadal after defeat by Lleyton Hewitt
Rafael Nadal's hopes of being able to defend his Wimbledon title suffered a significant blow on Thursday, when he struggled with knee problems during a surprise 6-4, 6-3 defeat by Australia's Lleyton Hewitt at the Hurlingham Club


It's not looking good for a replay of that final

Even if Rafa turns up it doesnt look like he will be winning.

You cant perform when you have even small injurys.

Rafa wont have a long time at the top with the way he plays and as crazy as it may sound we may have already seen the best of him. Ok abit far fetched maybe but it wouldnt surprise me.

Federer will still be capable of winning a grand slam well into his thirties. That wont be the case for Nadal and despite the 6 year age gap between the two i wouldnt be surprised if they retire around about the same time with fed having the most recent grand slam win on the table at the time.

Anyway this years wimbers...

Nadal wont be winning now....

Murrey has to be the fav on form closely followed by Fed...

They are the two to beat and no doubt will be in opposite sides of the draw so could meet in and make a great final.

Wouldnt be surprised if we get a big priced shock winner this year though.

Murrey can throw a stinker here and there through a tournement and is still not as consistent as one would like....hes not far off now though. Home pressure may also tell if he gets into some tough battles 1 after another.

Fed as we know is not the force of old. Still the worlds best but closer to the pack now than ever and also struggles for consistency at times now.

Could see both fed and murrey having a couple of wobbles and poss both going out leaving it wide open.....

Have to fancy both but could be a year for an outsider.

Yes lets hope the Aussie grit shines through and not the British glorious failure side!

Lets hope that she can hold it together. Losing the second set by double faulting was rather british wasn't it?

Break down in the 3rd now.  Again down to a double-fault.
