Even with the world no.1 pulling out, Wimbledon was as exciting as ever!
How many days now 'til Flushing Meadows?!?

Just wondering why - as a UK resident - our coverage of Queen's and Wimbledon, which is done by the BBC, has Jason Goodall in their team but only for Hawk-Eye analysis?
Do they not think he's appropriate for the commentating side of things? Personally my favourite tournaments are the masters series because the banter is much better between you guys.
With the exception of Pat Cash, I find the BBC's commentator's really quite dull!

Federer has a good record against people who play like soderling though (aggressive, attacking players) as over the years he has developed a way of soaking up all of the attacking and counter-attacking. But the way Soderling is playing right now I wouldn't even fancy Fed's chances. It's ridiculous how he seems to go for a winner every single shot, but still not giving a way a high number of unforced errors.
I think Federer with the crowd behind him and the knowledge that he's is on the brink of confirming his status as the greatest, will be enough to see him lift the trophy. But only just... I wouldn't be surprised by a five set final.

But I will definately be going with Federer's experience in this one and I think he'll have enough to scrape through against anyone left in the draw and get the 'W'.Consider this though. If Roger wins here, then at Wimbledon he will be attempting to beat Sampras' record grand slam haul whilst Rafa will be desperate to defend his title there or his No 1 ranking will be under threat for the first time. That really is exciting!!

With regards to the French Open, I can't see how anyone could beat Nadal at his beloved clay slam. He's too smart on the court. Even when players find a seemingly successful gameplan against him, he makes adjustments to his own game to counter it.
Unless nadal catches swine flu, I don't think anyone else will win win this year...
