Rodger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick; Who will win Wimbledon 2010 men’s singles?
These days, tennis fans from all over the world have their minds centred towards nothing other than the ongoing, most prestigious tennis tournament of the year, Wimbledon 2010. This is indeed an exciting time for any tennis lovers. Questions and discussions are at a go 24/7 about how well a match was played or what were the mishaps during a match, or whether players were at their best performance or were their performances an absolute disappointment. However the most frequent and thrilling question asked and discussed stands out prominently - who will win this Grand Slam?
There have been predictions of who will be the undefeated champion of Wimbledon 2010 men’s singles title even before the tournament had begun. The favourites have included Rodger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick. Those who fall in the category of possibly winning are Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Robin Soderling. All, except for Andy Roddick have made it to the quarterfinals of the tournament and now, being this far out in the challenge, it has become extremely tough to predict who will win. All the players are without a doubt extremely talented and deserve to win but this is the chance for one of them to prove who the best is.
The Swiss professional tennis player, Rodger Federer, who is ranked number two in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), has a high possibility of winning. He is considered by many to be the greatest tennis player of all time. His amazing tennis career includes a male record of sixteen Grand Slam male singles titles. He has reached the semi-finals or better in twenty three consecutive Grand Slams out of which he has reached the finals in ten consecutive Grand Slams. This has been a record in the history of tennis. Federer has managed to reach the quarterfinals in Wimbledon 2010 and he is to play against Tomas Berdych in order to reach the semi-finals. Hopefully if Federer keeps up his performance he can qualify as a winner for the tournament.
Rafael Nadal is yet another worthy tennis player who can possibly take home this title. The young Spanish player has won a total of eight Grand Slams and is currently ranked number one in the world. Nadal has had some really competitive matches throughout Wimbledon 2010 but has managed to reach the quarterfinals nevertheless, where he is up against Robin Soderling. In the past, Robin Soldering has been the first, in fact the only player to have defeated Nadal during the French Open in 2009. Therefore, the competition is tough in this case. Is it possible that Soldering from Sweden will once again take down the world number one? One can only wait and see what happens and who will advance forward.
In a shocking turn of events, Andy Roddick, who had been predicted to advance forward to the finals of the tournament was knocked out in the fourth round by a somewhat unknown player of Taiwan, Lu Yen Hsun. Lu is the first Asian to have gotten this far in a Grand Slam. His win has given the world a show of how unpredictable players can be. Lu is now facing Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Will this un-seeded Asian be able to defeat Djokovic, who is currently seeded number three in the tournament? Djokovic has been the first ever professional tennis player from Serbia to have won a Grand Slam title in the men’s singles category which makes him quite capable of being the champion of Wimbledon 2010. His performance during this tournament has been quite satisfactory and can enable him to reach the finals.
Predicting who will win the Wimbledon 2010 men’s singles title is something very complicated and any prediction made cannot completely justify as to who will win. As we have seen from ongoing matches, who wins can be extremely unpredictable. Thus, in order to find out who will be the undisputed champion of this grand event in the world of tennis, all we can do is wait and patiently see and follow the matches and enjoy the excitement brought about by the game which is indeed full of surprises.
