Let's make this the Official Wimbledon thread.
It is starting late, but I do not know how many big tennis fans there are.
Take your picks.
Fed vs Ancic (Fed in 4)
2 nobodies (1 of them in 4 or 5)
Hewitt vs Baghdatis (Marcos in 5)
Nadal vs nobody (Nadal in 3) - Niemenin?
Then
Fed vs nobody (Fed in 3)
Nadal vs Baghdatis (or Hewitt)- Baghdatis (or Hewitt) in 5
Then
Fed vs Baghdatis (or Hewitt)- Fed in 4 (or 3 against Hewitt)
Women
Sharapova vs Mauresmo (Sharapova in 3)
Hennin Hardin vs Clijisters (Hennin in 2)
Both of those are because of mental fortitude.
Sharapova vs Hennin (Sharapova in 3)
Sharapova wins her second Wimbledon
Mauresmo must get mentally tougher (too many experiences like Blake). She just falls apart. She has great game, especially for grass. The talent is there. Injuries and discouragement have been the problem.
Clijisters- very good player, but always gets intimidated by Hennin and gets psyched out by some dirty trick Hennin pulls. Besides Hennin is a very talented player.
Sharapova (most mentally tough tennis player for either gender). She never gives up. She is so focused.
On faster courts, like Wimbledon you need a big game. Big Babe Tennis is here and they don't get much bigger in terms of game and stature than Maria.
Maria is the only American left.
Hennin can never make up the difference physically between them since Maria is too mentally tough to get psyched out by stupid punk tricks.
Maria's serve is so much better and Maria puts so much more pace on the ball.
Hennin cannot win against Maria. It is more if Maria loses (by too many unforced errors).
If Maria keeps her unforced error count down and serves well (sound mechanics), then Hennin has virtually no chance.
Hennin has prettiest women's backhand in tennis. Mauresmo's is second.
Hopefully, Justine retires soon before winning Wimbledon and getting a career Grand Slam. She has no class. But she is a great player.
