      Wimbledon 2011
      Jun 18, 2011 11:09:26 pm
      Wimbledon 2011 is starting on Monday and although I'm a casual Tennis fan I do watch all the majors and Wimbledon is without doubt the one I look forward to the most.

      Really looking forward to the men's single's this year with the top four all getting to the semi finals at Roland Garros it should be an excellent tournament.

      I think it is too close to call with Djokovic virtually unbeatable this year until he lost in the French, Murray gaining form by winning at Queens club and Nadal and Federer will be as hard to beat as ever. I just have a feeling it will be Novak's year but anything can happen.

      In the ladies I can't see past Serena Williams but Sharapova is back in form and Li Na could do well.

      Not a big tennis fan whatsoever, but I am looking forward to the Isner/Mahut rematch after last years marathon. Apparantly they've become firm friends over the last 12 months. Aww  :)

      Just like at Roland Garros. I'm hoping for that as it will be a great couple of days tennis. But Wimbledon usually throws up a shock so I'm not sure all four will make the semi's.

      Maybe this year the shock will be that there are no shocks ;)

      That is true. The shock could be the world's top four all in the semi finals two majors in a row.

      Just can't wait for it to start now.

      Mahut v Isner in the first round again? It just had to be! Looking forward to that. Also looking forward to seeing how the Brits get on. The first couple of days are pretty fun - hoping desperately that another British male can make it to the second round only to find your in the same position as previous years where one Brit is left alone!

      Roger Federer looked good in the French Open. Think he could do it this year again beating Sampras's Wimbledon record. Although it'd be nice to have someone other than Nadal and Federer to win the tournament....step up Andy Murray!

      Andy is picking up form and could do well. How do you see Djokovic doing mate? I think he has a great chance.

      Nadal + Caroline Wozniacki for me. ;D

      I'm one of those tho that won't follow tennis all year round but would know who's winning and then become the biggest tennis fan ever when Wimbledon comes round! :)

      Definitely. Amazing run of form from January to the semis of the French Open. It needed an immense performance by a player of Federer's stature to end that run! His best chance yet of winning Wimbledon. In fact he might not have a better chance but he's still to show his real self at Wimbledon in his career hasn't he? Maybe this year!

      Got a tenner on a Nadal/Sharapova double.

      Nadal is winning slams without hitting top form and Sharapova looks ominous.

      Hope Sharapova does well. She's had it tough with injuries of late but seems to be hitting some form.

      Hope Murray can do the job in the mens but can see him being knocked out at the semi final stage again. Think Nadal will yet again grind another championship out without hitting top form.

      Same here, Cas. Love it. Favourite Tennis tournament by far. Prestige, all round play, seems to bring about the best from players, Wimbledon has it all.

      Two weeks of brilliance ahead! Go on Nadal!!

      This. Absolutely love it!

      I always pull for Roddick, but his realistic chances these days are shot so it's either Novak or Nadal for me. Looking forward to some great tennis anyways!

      Not a bad draw for Roddickon his way to the quarters i reckon.

      My bolters are Janko Tipsarevic if he can get past Karlovic in the first round and Thomas Berdych. Both seem to be able to pull off some really good wins at Wimbledon. I remember Tipsarevic taking Federer to 5 and even having match points. And Berdych made the semi's not long ago. I don't think they'll have any chance of winning the tournament but i think we could see them there come quarter finals time and maybe even a semi final.
