Murray has a good record on grass. 1 of the best. The Olympics will be wimbledon (i assume) or Queens.

But RG, It is very hard to bet against Nadal.

Hope Fed goes out in rd.1. He is a dull guy. Great 2 watch zero personality.( sorry Fed fans)
Can some 1 out side top 10 win. Also who was last non top 10 to win a slam. The big man?

Last player outside the Big Three to win a Singles Slam was Delpo at the '09 USO, seeded 6th.

It's crazy how many One Slam Wonders the French Open have produced. Great on Clay, crap anywhere else.

My pronostic about the draw :

Djokovic vs Simon
Federer vs Berdych
Isner vs Murray
Nadal vs Almagro

Semi-final =
Djokovic - Federer
Isner - Nadal

Final =
Djokovic - Nadal

Winner = Nadal.

Yeah Tsonga pulled it out the bag. Roddick was shocking but not suprising. His time has well passed. Some good matches tomorrow though.
Eurosports coverage is bad. Had no trouble seeing the ball btw.

Only Gulbis can do: Down two sets and 1-5, 0-40 in the third set, come back and be up a break in the fifth and lose the match in the end.

How is the coverage in germany?

We only have 2 possible matches and no match choice.

Watching Starace and Djoko. Starace is playing well mixing up his serve and has a really nice feel for the ball.

Eurosport coverage is the same in all countries, but at least via streams it is possible to watch some other matches Eurosport does not care about.

Eurosport is free but Eurosport 2 requires buying a package. I usually stream British Eurosport because the German commentators are boring/annoying.

And lol WTA: Azarenka was 6-7, 0-4 + break points down against an absolute nobody and still won.

And Lisicki that stupid cow is out too.
