Wimbledon 2012

So it is that time of the year again for those who are into tennis! Are you watching? Who are your favourite players and who do you think is going to win

!?

Fred Perry was my great uncle

Apart from that, I know nothing about tennis and/or Wimbledon.

John McEnroe ftw!

Yes.

^That is seriously awesome!!

My claim to fame is my name being on the same cup as Jonah Barrington's brother

Andy Murray ftw, or the semi final more likely.

Holy **** Spong, that's actually pretty cool. Fred Perry is a total legend, he's even had some dodgy fashion named after him.

Who I am watching:

Women's Bracket
Victoria Azarenka
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Aga Radwanska

Men's Bracket
Roger Federer
Andy Roddick
David Nalbandian
Lleyton Hewitt

Who do I expect to win:

Women's Bracket
Judging by the way nobody I ever pick ends up winning, I'm going to go with Serena Williams. Probably very motivated after such a horrible Roland Garros.

Men's Bracket
Provided they make it to the semi-finals, the winner of Federer - Djokovic. Both of them have scores to settle with Nadal, and Nadal hasn't won off-clay since 2010.

Who do I want to win:

Women's Bracket
Azarenka.
However, if she can't do it, I'd like to see Kuznetsova find her game again.

Men's Bracket
Federer.
If he can't win it, I'd love to see Roddick pull it together and finally win this thing. Heck, I'd actually be happy to see Roddick win it regardless, but I just can't see it happening at this point.

Come on Federer. This is your turf, just win the fear of Djokovic and grab the Wimbledon again.

musicmaestro10 · 25-06-12, 09:26

I'd like Roddick to win

! I think it is too late for him though ;__;!

Nemo_91 · 25-06-12, 09:42

I'd watch it if I didn't have to work >.< I'll watch the later matches, I suppose.

Who will win? Djokovic

I think Sharapova has a good chance of winning.

My fave player is Ana Ivanovic.
