Andy will have to get past that tough little Santoro for starters. He's playing well enough to get to the last 4,

I'm thinking Federer, with Nadal having very good chances and Djoko with a big maybe. Overall though, this is Federer's surface, the ball doesn't come up high, the game is faster, it's not what Nadal usually is so brilliant at.

Agreed, but Nadal is getter better on grass so he is a bigger danger to Federer. Djoko is also improving all the time, making him a favorite. I wonder who is gonna be the surprise this year.

Ye, but this year I believe Nadal is better than last year, and Federer I don't think can get much better... if anything maybe a bit worse (old age)...
So I think Nadal can do it this year
Wouldn't it be interesting if Spain won EURO 2008 and winbledon?

I don't care who wins in either the mens or womens, as long as Ana and Maria meet in the finals, to provide us with the hottest looking matchup since the Australian open.

Djokovic is presently 2 sets down against Marat Safin and our sweetheart Ana is strugling against N. Dechy.

Another surprise: Djokovic loses to Marat Safin 6-4 7-6 6-2
Ana recovered to 6-7 7-6. You can stop crying Jason!

Granted, Marat Safin is not a circus clown when he shows up on the court, but Djoko must have had a horrible day to loose this one.
too bad i have to wait to get home to watch it.
I guess that makes it pretty safe to say that the finals will be: Federer v. Nadal. Then again....Marat Safin suddenly a contender?
Ana is through - whew! Close call, obviously.
