Whos everyone bcking to win tournament again this year??
For me its got to be Murray or djokovic and I'd edge more to the serb. Hes nott had a good year results wise but with it being the biggest of the grand slams and him beingb decent on grass,, I think hes capcble of pulling a cat out the bag and ding well when needs to. Murray will run it close if he can shake off injuries
Nadal has been past it on grass for a few years and even though hes a favourite I think federer's best days are also behind him and hell need a lot of luck and favourable draws to get far.
If anyone outside them four win,, it'd be the biggest shock since Ivanisavic.

Dimitrov, Cilic, Del Potro.
-
Del potro done nothing for years. Bottles it like most other argies when it comes down to it.

He's just coming back from injury. Serving well.
-
Del Potro has always served well. It's just still not enough to elevate him to the same class as Fee, Djokovic, Nadal and Murray (except the US open win several years ago)
-
I wonder if tsonga can gatecrash the big four???? Cilic is just like del Potro regarding the big serve and not in the same league.

Murray is injured, Djok is desperately out of form, Fed is old as the hills and Nadal is still on the comeback after a long time out. All vulnerable.

Only ever used to watch the tennis in the days of borg,conners,macenro Becker for sole reason it was a addvert for likes
of fila ,Lacoste ,ellesse ,tacchini ,ceruti .
A original Bjorn borg green fila bj would cost you an arm and a leg if you was ever to find one up on eBay today.

Yet all 4 are still well ahead of the pack. Murray always raises his game at Wimbledon, Djokovic cruised through Eastbourne, Federer is on absolutely top form and rested after missing the French Open. I might be proved wrong but I can't see beyond them or Nadal.

Federer to win

Short memory..
Rio Olympics final Murray vs Del Potro. I don't normally bother with the tennis but that match was an excellent advert for the sport, could have gone in the opposite way too..
-
Del potro didnt win and Olympic tennis isnt seen anywhere near as big as winning one of the four Grand slam's.
-
Don't discount Raonic !
-
How many brits have been knocked out todate
-
Ward ?

No he came second..
And go ask Andy Murray, double olympic champion, how big that is??
As for your comment "bottles it like most other argies when it comes down to it." that's borderline racist too...

To be fair, ask Murray if he'd swap both Olympic golds for a slam and I know what the answer would be. Although I'm sure winning it at Wimbledon in 2012 was amazing for him.

Borderline racist???? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Fcuk me have you ever been inside a working mens club??? If that upsets you then go in one of them and youll probably drown in your own tears
-
Never said I was upset did I..
Doesn't bother me, just pointing out the nature of your post..
-
Murray in a bit of trouble...... 2-1 up in sets but a break down in the fourth so looks like a fifth set decider and hes not played well at all!!!
-
Fcuk I found the thread > started a thread over there but I found it over here > yellow card looming
-
Ps what a game
-
I Don't think Murray played that well until the last few games of that set when he was right on the ropes and the italian guy went to apple crumble.
-
Tsonga knocked out......... there goes the chances of anyone breaking into the top four!!!!!
-

Never hurry a Murray mint > he seems to up his game when put under heaps of pressure as they
Say in Australia .

That's two of them we've got beat and we are not at the semi's yet.
-
I went on Monday and Federer was awesome against Dimitrov. Djokokic is playing well again so I think it will be one of those 2 for the title. Judging by the way Murray played in the last 2 sets today his injury must be worse than he was letting on.

That's 3 out out of the 4 not even in the semis. Get Fed beat and it's jackpot time.

Oops.
-
Federer to win
I refer to my original prediction. If only I'd put a bet on!
-
Laid Murray and won £500 after the 2nd set. His frustration was showing.

...and the 4th coasted through without dropping a bet. Impossible to look past the big four.

He's class Fed, it helped Cilic was injured though.
-
Fcuk me that was The most one sided final for a few years...... I dont think Cilic ever stood a chance after he fluffed break point in the first set. Federer deserves all the credit he gets though for winning it in style and not dropping a set all the way through. Will be a while before that ever happens again

He's just Fed to move into the US Open Semi. Knew he was playing well before Wimbledon. Not had a shilling on this week mind you.
