I've realized something from my years of watching tennis.

All the writers and commentators all suck and don't know shit. Even though most, if not all, of them are retired players themselves.

That little article just emphasizes my point. :lol:

Tracy Austin and her way of saying "unforced airs" is also pretty annoying, especially because in Lebanese Arabic dialect air means penis, so I get a bunch of preteen boys pissing their pants with laughter whenever she says it. :roll:

I agree tho, McEnroe is one of the only commentators i like.

Playing your best under pressure is the key to winning ANY sports championship. Few would argue that point. No brainer.

So...

You have to give Nadal a HUGE advantage with regard to the winning of the 2010 Wimbledon title.

Murray: The pressure to win your first Grand Slam title is huge enough. Add the pressure of everyone in the UK placing you under a microscope = no chance.

Djokovic: This guy has been fed to the wolves on more that one occasion. Reason to fold, for sure, but guess what: he has an Aussie Slam to his credit. Combine that with VERY LITTLE pressure from the mainstream media, etc., and you have a guy who could easily win this whole damn thing.

Nadal: Been there, done that. If he plays to his ability, he'll win; if not, probably not. Sounds (too) simple, but with Nadal, that's how he rolls.

Berdych: Probably the best of the bunch, the past two weeks. If he keeps it up, the Wimby title is his. Since he has a history of NOT keeping it up (i.e. choking) his odds are long.

Im hoping for a Nadal Djokovic Final.
Nadal brings out the best in Djokovic.
They have played some great matches recently, the Queens final would be the most relevant, Djokovic should have won but choked and has since become mentally stronger, but this is a GS final and i imagine nadal winning in 5.

My prediction for the final.
Djokovic takes an easy 1st set 6-2, Nadal fights back in the secind and takes it 6-4, Djokovic gets back on top in 3rd to take it 6-3. 4rg set Djokovic starts off dominating but starts to tire and Nadal takes it 7-5. Djokovic, tired, loses the 5th 6-3.

Nadal: "Being here is a dream"
Soderling: " Nadal has a good chance of winning here"
Murray: "i have to believe i can beat Rafa"

Damn. They must all have the same microchip telling them what to say.

Wonder if Murray wins (i dont think he will, i fully expect Nadal to win, but who knows) but if Nadal loses will it be exhaustion this time? or maybe some knee problems? :lol:
