    Go Schuettler!

    Only chance for him to win is if Nadal twists his ankle and has to give up. Nadal might actually beat Federer in the final this year.

    I'll be up early to watch safin-federer. I'm rooting for safin so I sure hope the badass one shows up. Even if Safin wins I think he would have a let down against Nadal. :(

    she ain't cute.. never has been. I was rooting for her, though.. first female wildcard to advance to the semis at Wimbledon. And first female Chinese player to advance to the semis in any Grand Slam. Too bad.

    All Williams finals is fun in its own right.. but I don't like either of them. It's gonna be a grunt-fest.

    She's not cute but she's not hideously ugly either. With some make-up she could pull off a Lucy Liu and would look cute enough at a dark club :D. She has some nice boobage for an asian woman though. Legs are Michael Chang-ish though.

    It's been Nadal followed by daylight so far. I don't think Federer has much of a chance in the final. Safin and Schuettler are probably hoping not to lose with a bagel to their name in the semis.

    WOW, Federer, the guy that has won the LAST 5 WIMBLEDONS IN A ROW, doesn't have a chance in the final?

    His game is made for grass. I am pretty sure he has MORE than a chance. He does have the tougher semi match against a resurgent Safin though. Well, you never know which Safin will show up....the solid and often spectacular Safin, or the headcase.

    Yeah Fed has more than a chance but people are still grimacing over Fed's performance in the French Open final where he got bageled in the last set. The fact that he barely won Wimbledon last year against Nadal and the beating he took at the French at the hands of Nadal are fresh in people's mind. I think he'll be fine but it's tough not to let that play in your head if the two do meet.

    Nadal at this point is closer to winning wimbledon than Fed is to winning the French.

    I think she's pretty cute and those pictures don't do her justice.

    Chick aint ugly. She just aint the choicest of morsels. And Lucy Liu is hot.

    Anyone who doesn't think Federer will win, or has a chance of doing so, needs to admit their saying so is only done as a contrarian.

    Making a point based on Wimbledon compared to the French Open comes from someone who has never actually played tennis and needs to realize the maaaaassive difference between the two surfaces. That kind of difference makes any kind of point about Nadal being closer to a Wimbledon blah blah blah useless.

    Federer will win. Nadal is a hell of a player. So was Agassi but he still had Sampras living on planet Earth with him.

    Are jorts as cool as man capris?
