With my luck Murray will win it, in which case I will obviously be forced to commit suicide ('seppuku').

hopefully you have not planned out the suicide? because im feeling a murray win this year :lol:

The semis?...
Rafa-Novak-Roger-Andy

The other challengers?...
Tsonga, Berdych, NOT RAONIC! (:twisted:)

Those I hope will do well...
Some frenchies (Gasquet, Simon, Llodra...), Davydenko, Stepanek (One of The Last S&V warrior with Llodra!!! We must support them!!!), Troicki, Cilic (?), DelPotro (?), Nalbandian (?),...

Edit : Until he retires, i'll endlessly root for Nalby!

novak is susseptable to getting beat early if he comes up against a top grass player think olly rochus took him to five last year ,haas serve volleyed him off the court 09 ,safin shocked him in 08 so he better hope he doesnt get tsonga,or LLodra in 3,4 or quaters cos they might beat him tsonga has a winning h2h against nole. Hey news on. llodra's knee.roger will reclaim his crown for the seventh Time.how many grass wins does hewitt have and if fed wins will he surpass home.

About Nole : I kinda agree with you, but he's not the same player... He's better, stronger, faster!

Sorry man, but i didn't understand the end of your post...

Talking about Milos, a good TV report about him training in Barcelona and about the close relationship with his coach, Galo Blanco.
I know it's in spanish, but the videos are worth watching.

There you go

(For those who don't wanna watch the full videos because they don't understand a word haha, you can check 4:34 second video to see him training at Barcelona)

One of the things Galo Blanco says in the 2nd video, is that, once while Milos was playing in Johannesburg he left the stadium angry and went back to the hotel to wait for Milos, because during the match Milos was being cocky and arrogant with his opponent, and at the hotel Blanco told him he was flying back to Barcelona if Milos didn't change that attitude with his opponents, Milos was surprised and promised him his attitude would change in the future.

All the usual suspects will be in the mix but Wimbledon draw is always interesting too see where the big servers are Raonic, Karlovic, Isner .etc. who could spring a shock.

Hope Tsonga doesn't get two tired playing the two weeks straight before, given he is susceptible to picking up niggling injuries,'especially given how he is throwing himself about.

by **Chederer** » Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:43

the thing about grass is that tall guys have a really tough time because of the ball staying very low; i doubt Raonic will be a darkhorse because of his height on this surface; same goes for Del Potro, Karlovic, Isner, Berdych seems to handle the low balls quite well though for being tall; once again i could be wrong though, but just my opinion

Using the formula used by the All-England Club to project what the top 16 seeds should look like for the Gentlemen's Singles draw at The Championships, Wimbledon 2011.

1. Rafael Nadal (1)
2. Novak Djokovic (2)
3. Roger Federer (3)
4. Andy Murray (4)
5. Robin Soderling (5)
6. Tomas Berdych (6)
7. David Ferrer (7)
8. Andy Roddick (10)
9. Gael Monfils (8)
10. Mardy Fish (9)
11. Jurgen Melzer (11)
12. Viktor Troicki (12)
13. Stanislas Wawrinka (14)
14. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (18)
15. Gilles Simon (16)
16. Nicolas Almagro (15)

The top seven seeds stay true to the rankings, but from there on there's some mild shuffling of the deck.

The biggest bumps are given to Andy Roddick (a three-time Wimbledon finalist), who now wouldn't have to play a higher seed until the quarterfinals at the earliest, and to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a 2010 Wimbledon quarterfinalist (with an impressive 9-3 career record at SW19) who made the finals of Queen's Club on grass last week.

The biggest dropper is Richard Gasquet, the current ATP #13, who falls out of the top sixteen altogether under the formula. Ironically, Gasquet's only career grand slam semifinal appearance came back in 2007, when he beat Roddick in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, on grass. The formula does not account for this however, only reaching back to cover 2009 and 2010, both years in which Gasquet missed Wimbledon due to injury.

Let's see if this is confirmed later today when the official seedings announcement is made.
