Question

Who do you think will win the 2008 Wimbledon men's and woman's single and why? Thanks.?

Answer 1

federer

womens no idea

Answer 2

men..roger...

woman...venus william

Answer 3

I love these questions:

Women:

The womens has been very close so far with Sharapova, and Ivanovic gone, it looks like The Williams sisters are up there. Venus Williams will probably beat Jankovic if she gets through to the quarter-finals, and Serena will get to the final no problem so I think it will be Serena, and Venus in the finals, and Serena might just grab it!

Men:

The mens championship is very tight, and very hard to call! Nadal will have a very tough match against Youzhny, and it will be hard for federer against Hewitt. I think Federer, or Baghdatis, and possibly Gasquet, Youzhny, Nadal, or Tipsaravic will be in the finals. I say it is too hard to call, but if I betted my life I would say Nadal!

This is why:

Youzhny has been doing very good lately, and he beat Nadal 6-1 6-0 in the finals in Chennai! Baghdatis is looking very good lately, and he put up a shock against Federer. Tipsaravic was only denied the quarter-finals by Federer last year so he will most likely get to the semi-finals! Safin in my opinion won't get past Wawrinka as much as I want him too, and Wawrinka would get knocked out by Baghdatis which would leave Federer, and Baghdatis. Gasquet will beat Murray leaving Nadal probably, and Gasquet, and Tipsaravic will go to the semi-finals without a doubt. Federer will have no problem getting to the semi-finals!

Federer vs Baghdatis.

Tipsaravic vs Nadal.

I say Nadal would beat Tipsaravic, and Federer will squeeze through, and Nadal would end Federers' streak.

Answer 4

NADAL i ask you why not?

i guess as much FEDERER wants the title again, NADAL wanted to prove he can win at the WIMBLEDON.

im not really a fan of WOMEN's but ill go with Jankovic. Its her chance now that rank 1 and 2 are eliminated.

Answer 5

I think that Roger Federer will win for mens because other than being #1 man in the world he is an awesome tennis player.

I think that Venus Williams will win the womans because of her tennis record.

Answer 6

Men: Hewitt will challenge Federer but cannot defeat him on grass. Nadal is a bit more vulnerable against Youzhny but he will still come out victorious meaning that in all likelyhood Federer and Nadal will reach the final. Federer will defeat Nadal (yet again) in the final 1) because he is the better player on grass and 2) because he wants to avenge his embarrasing loss to Nadal at the French.

Women: Now that Justine isn't playing and Maria and Ana are out, I really don't see anyone beating the Williams sisters on grass. Jankovic is good, but on grass I can't see her defeating either of the sisters with her counterpunching game. Venus Williams will win the tournament (unless both her and Serena reach the final in which case Serena will win). Venus is technically the best player on grass but she chokes against lil sis who is the mentally tougher.

Answer 7

i think from women side jelena will win and from men side roger will win again.

Answer 8

I think Federer will win Wimbledon again. He's yet to win a grand slam this year and that's pretty unusual for him, and grass is by far his best surface.

Although Nadal is on the up and coming, he just can't compare to Federer on grass. Federer will have a lot more motivation to beat anyone here because this is his grand slam and he will definitely want to win it again. Although there are other good players that can test him, I still think Federer will just be able to knock them aside.

As for the women, who knows? With a few of the top names going out, you can't help but say one of the Williams' will win, and to be honest, I think we're in for an all Williams' final (however much nobody really wants that.) Jankovic will probably reach the semis but if she comes up against one of the Williams' she'll be whitewashed; her game is just terrible on grass and I still don't know how she got further than Sharapova or Ivanovic.

So I think either Venus or Serena will win. I don't know which one because it really depends on the day which one plays better. They're pretty evenly matched.

Answer 9

federer-men

v. williams-women

* i really want hewitt to win though

Answer 10

Women's:

1st Quarter: Vaidisova vs Szavay

2nd Quarter: Kuznetsova vs Williams

1st Semi: Kuznetsova vs Vaidisova

3rd Quarter: Pe'er vs Petrova

4th Quarter: Jankovic vs Williams

2nd Semi: Williams vs Petrova

Final: V. Williams vs S. Kuznetsova

Winner: Svetlana Kuznetsova

Well, I think Vaidisova will get through and beat Chakvetadze, because she seems to be unstable these days, then Szavay, because she doesn't have enough experience. That already has her in the semis. Then I'd say she'll be playing Kuznetsova, because she has the best groundstrokes in the game on a good day, so i'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Although she won't have an easy route, playing Radwanska, who is playing good tennis, and then of course Serena, who is quite beatable if you start well. (Take her match vs Mauresmo for example). Then moving to the other half of the draw, I think Pe'er will get the better of Dementieva, who really isn't the best player anyway. Then she'll most likely play Petrova, unless Kudryavtseva can cause another upset, which I think is unlikely. I think Petrova will prove the victor in that match, if she comes out angry. Then She will undoubtedly play Venus, although she will have to play a tough match against Venus. Then Kuznetsova will just intimidate Vaidisova, so that has her into the final, and she'll play Venus who will demolish Petrova. Then that promises an interesting final, with a tight 3 setter, with Kuznetsova making an inspiring comeback to win.

Don't know about the Men though, i'd say another Nadal/Federer final, with Nadal winning.

Answer 11

For the men, Nadal will win. He has shown improvement and confidence on grass, and he's shown that he can actually beat Roger Federer. He's not afraid to take him on. The grass is also slower, slightly benefiting Nadal.

For the women, I think Jankovic. I think she can outconsistencise Venus or Serena for the title. She seems to have a slight bit of confidence.

Answer 12

i think for the men, nadal or marat safin will win the title.. why, because nadal is due to win on another surface other then clay..

marat safin is one of the best players to not when another slam yet.. he will be motivated by his sisters perfomance at the french

women, i think it will be a suprise newly crowned winner, i have a gut wrenching feeling vaidsova is going to go deep in the draw, because she is due to display some of that great tennis that people that she had potential for back in 2006

i also think jelena jankovic stands a decent chance of winning.. with both serbians out, she wants to do serbia a good honour and finally make it to a grand slam final....she has a good enough game to win it..

Answer 13

Roger Federer and Venus Williams. To all those people who want 'Nadal' to win: Nadal will NOT win it. It's going to be Federer all the way.

Answer 14

Women- Venus Williams because she plays her best on grass. But then again it depends on what kind of day she is having. She can get a little clumsy at times. But I got my eyes on the Russian chicks to. They have nothing to loose and also I think their confidence level is up. Men- Roger Feder all the way. No doubt in my mind. I hope to see another Williams sister final because their are exciting to watch...........
