Here is where we can post pullouts, retirements, and withdrawals.

So far we have Almagro who will not participate due to a foot injury (I'll have to recheck that).

tennis channel is showing the andy murray vs nole Wimbledon final from last year.

andy served big when he had to in that match. he was winning 77% of the first serve points in the first 2 sets.

that is quite big considering how well nole returns.

I saw that. I taped it and am getting ready to watch it. Also, did you see the Andy Murray special? It is so good. I welled up a few times just listening to his story. As much as I liked Andy, I like him even more. Such a classy guy. I've already watched it twice, because the first time it only taped half of it, so I rewatched it from the beginning.

As I was watching it I realized that I had never seen Andy vs. Novak in the USO final that Andy won. I was perplexed, how did I miss that? Then, I realized, for the first time that it was the summer that I had a part-time job. And it must have been 2012, because I missed Serena/Stosur and (I was doing surveys with my sister) and this guy on the phone accidentally told me the results of the Serena match and when I got home I deleted it, not even thinking about the ATP.

I'll have to check CETSvids to see if that match is there. I am shocked that that got past me for so long.

I watched that andy murray special on the tennis channel.

great special. andy is pretty cool and so down to earth.

I think this new coach will do him good. she understands the game well.

I have andy in the final and most likely winning the title.

only way it gets a bit close is if he has to deal with Rafa in the final. then it is too close to call.

I have andy winning Wimbledon and Rafa taking the U.S. Open title.

andy served really well in the last year's final. something like 34% of his serves did not come back. that is really impressive considering his opponent was nole who has the best return of serve I have ever seen.

Shaq takes in Andy Murray's match at Wimbledon from Royal Box

http://msn.foxsports.com/tennis/story/shaquille-o-neal-takes-in-andy-murray-s-match-at-wimbledon-from-royal-box-062314

This week in celebrity guests at tennis matches, we give you Shaquille O'Neal.

The former NBA superstar showed up at Wimbledon on Monday, taking in the Centre Court slate on the opening day of play from the swankiest of venues -- the Royal Box.

Shaq was there with girlfriend Nicole Alexander to see, among others, Andy Murray open his title defense with an easy win.

This makes two straight majors with a notable American celebrity pop-in. Last month, Prince showed up at Court Philippe Chatrier to watch Rafael Nadal play at the French Open.

It's not Shaq's first intersection with the tennis world. Earlier this month, he was spotted talking with 17-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams after an NBA Finals game in Miami:
