Quarter-final predictions:

[1] Novak Djokovic vs. [12] Ernests Gulbis
 [3] Andy Murray vs. [11] Grigor Dimitrov
 [4] Roger Federer vs [5] Stan Wawrinka
 [2] Rafael Nadal vs. [10] Kei Nishikori



Nadal vs Andy final is probably a tough call. Andy tends to do quite well on grass. what happened in queens is bit of an outlier for Andy. I expected Andy to snatch that title but it was just not meant to be. he had a rough day at the office and could not quite get untracked.

he is far better in the best of 5 sets formats on grass. I think he will progress and improve with each match at Wimbledon.


only question is this: who will be the man across the net from Andy in the final?

if it is Rafa then its a close call. but if it is roger then I have to say Andy.

Roger is not young anymore so the long grind of 7 best of 5 sets matches could start to take its toll. Andy will make it a very physical match.


I am starting to feel a little better about Rafa simply because he looks motivated and the knee is better. after the way it has gone for him the last 2 years I have been a bit reluctant to make any predictions for him.

lets just say that things may be looking up for Rafa but we will have to see.


nole has suddenly become suspect in best of 5 sets formats against the top guns. it wont get any easier if the wrist issue is compounded.

I do expect Roger to gun down Stan in the quarters but he may start to tire a little bit after that. again we will just have to see. he has been working hard on his fitness so he could surprise.

how cool is this image?

order of play for tomorrow is here:

Rafa and Roger will get the show on the road.

Here's an interesting stat. This guy on the Yahoo boards said that when Rafa and Klizan played both times, once on clay and today's result, the scores were identical. Rafa lost the first set and won in four.

4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.

Isn't that odd?
