2009 Wimbledon Thread

Andy Murray was on both the front and back pages of today's papers, in Scotland. To put in contrast: The only boxing news was on page 78 or something ( around 10 from the back ) and it was a few paragraphs long, detailing what had "gone on" in British boxing.

Andy Murray has a way better chance at the US Open than at Wimbledon.

Seriously looking at the draw, I really can't see anyone stopping Murray. If he doesn't at least make the final it would be a huge disappointment.

He'll have to get past Roddick or Del Potro in the semis, which will be extremely difficult. Also Safin in the 4th round could be very tricky. The draw certainly has opened up for him though.

[P4P Opinion]

I know he hasn't done anything on grass as of yet, but I get the feeling Del Potro might be the dark horse of the tournament. You've got to back Federer to win it, but I think Murray has a chance as well.

I went to Wimbledon a few years back, to the final no less. Got to see Federer demolish Roddick.

I'm not sure how good Del Potro is on grass but one thing is for sure is that he isn't as good as Murray on grass. Roddick on the other hand is a threat especially as he's improved his game recently, but Murray has dealt with Roddick in the past and he should be able to deal with him again.

Djokovic having a hard time it seems in his first round match. It seems that he's good on the hard courts, but grass and clay he struggles badly.

he only had a bad day on french open he is extremely good on clay...he beat federer twice and lost to nadal pretty tight in madrid this year...

grass on the other hand has never been his stronger surface tbh

Djokovic is actually a good clay court player.
