Now that the draws out. Who do you think could cause an upset to Rafa?

Question

I think Nadal can go all the way to the final :) ! Who thinks Gulbis will give him a run for his money ?!

Answer 1

Roddick could be a threat to him. Andy can blast his serve pn the grass and hit powerful winners. Andy might beat him...

Answer 2

Nadal definitely has an easier draw than Federer, mostly because Djokovic isn't in his half.  But I agree, Gulbis could challenge him, although I think Rafa is a safe bet to reach the final.  The only other threat would come from Roddick, but since Rafa beat him at Queen's Club I think he'll get past him again should they meet at Wimbledon.

Answer 3

his draw is pretty good, except for andy in the semis it's clean.-

but i think if andy doesn't improve his game since their last meeting, he won't be a problem for rafa.-

it would be great to see a good match between them, don't get mad but i hope andy wins!!

if he doesn't all my money goes to rafa :)

Answer 4

Gulbis could take a set but Nadal really should win. Gulbis has been rising in the rankings and is a player with real potential that is translating into results most recently a quarter final at the French which he lost in 3 tie-breaks to Djokovic

Kiefer in third should be comfortable

Stephanek-Nadal would have to lose it rather than Stephanek win it if you know what I mean. Stephanek does not have the weapons.

Though it could be Youzhney in 4th instead and he might take a first set but then make too many errors and eventually fall apart.

Gasquet and Murray in particular Gasquet I think could really cause an upset especially if he rediscovers his form from last year-That backhand is absolutly deadly

Roddick maybe in Semis though I think the fourth Semi is really up for grabs as Daveydenko has no pedigree on grass and Roddick has lost early in the last few years so anything could happen. I think Ancic is a good outside bet for the semis. Nadal should win the semi any how

So yeah I agree with you. Nadal for a place in the Final again.Probably against Federer but Djokovic I think has a real chance.

If Djokovic v Nadal final I would back Nadal to win

If Federer v Nadal final Federer I predict will win that.

Both realistic possiblities are however really close to call. But I think Nadal is the most certain for a final place than the other 2.

Venga ya o Vamos Rafa! I am beginning to really love him too!

Capriati to win Wimbledon next year! Even though I have been saying that since 2004! Come on Jennifer come back and take the tennis world by storm once again! This is your best chance!!!!

Answer 5

Nobody really. I think he's going to be the champion. But if it's going to be anybody, it's going to be Federer, especially at this tournament.

Answer 6

i think if andy and rafa meet in the semis though, it wont be an easy match for eith of them....andy is very good on grass with his forehand and serve while rafa is improving rapidly on all surfaces. even though andy lost to rafa at the wimbledon warmup, you can never count out roddick on grass.

Answer 7

Gulbis, Stephanek (pleased hes not in Federers draw)... capable of causing upsets. Prob won't... but that the whole point of an upset isn't it, you don't know its coming before it happens?

Murray will be claiming he can but thats b/s he won't even get that far! Haha.
