    Is on day 1.

    Grass is green, Fed is looking to pass Pete for all time Wimbledon champion. Serena and Maria might kill each other before the two weeks are up.

    WTF Nadal. Has a Grand Slam champion lost in the next Grand Slam event in the first round before?

    I want Federer to win, and I want Tommy Haas to get as far as possible. Great guy, too. They are good friends.

    Oh yeah... dude fell off the map pretty fast. What happened? He was #1 for a bit and then suddenly disappeared. Injuries?

    My favorite Wimbledon moment is Goran vs Rafter finals. Two of my fav players at that time.

    Incredible finals that was.

    Mine is Borg vs. Mcenroe in 1980. Watched it live and knew I had witnessed one of sports greatest moments. So riveting that 4th set tiebreaker.

    The injury bug. He was actually still active as recently as 2008, but he hadn't done anything of note since 2001 or so because he couldn't stay healthy.

    This is what is so great about fed. Although nadal has owned him during their careers, Feds consistency is unmatched in the history of the sport.

    well to give Nadal credit, the grass at Wimbledon is very slick, and fast. Whereas in the last few years it was slow, and favored defensive players

    how many slips have we seen this tournament, this type of grass doesnt favor defensive players. It rewards players who play offense, i think Federer has a huge chance to win to this tournament
