Unfortunately, no more wedgie-pulling in Wimbledon
With Rafael Nadal not surprisingly pulling out of the most prestigious major in tennis, the tournament is wide-open.
Roger Federer looks to regain the trophy that Nadal took from him last year in possibly the most epic five-set match ever. But in my mind, I do not think that Federer can pull it off; he just is not hitting the ball as hard as he used to and people are beginning to tee-off on his high topspin groundstrokes.
Andy Murray looks to become the first British player in a while to finally take home the trophy.
Novak Djokovic wants to return to his star form and actually compete in a major tournament once again.
Andy Roddick is always a favorite to win Wimbledon because of his rediculous serve, but I do not expect him to get past the Quarterfinals, especially if he has a foot-injury (he retired in the Queen's Club tournament).
Surprisingly, I expect Juan Martin del Potro to destroy the field and take his first major tournament of his career. This young phenom is extremely tall at 6 foot 5 inches, and has a humongous serve, sometimes reaching 140 MPH. His huge serve and monster strokes should, in my mind, easily push him to the victory.
