Good for Hewitt if he can see it through. Sue B only follows tennis 3 weeks a year, unless they are massive names or play well on grass she wouldnt know any players from Adam.

if i was to go professional, i doubt i would be ranked in the world's top 5000 players. However, i know that if you are on a grass court, and someone is hitting some naff backhand chip thing return, TRY SERVING AND VOLLEYING!! federer gets away with that so much lol.

I hate it when they ask the players completely rediculous questions, like to nadal "is moving on grass very different to clay or hard court? do you have to change your play much?" and he just looking thinking, what sort of a buffoon question is that?

The BBC talk about Queens like it's the biggest event outside the slams, "the players are so nervous" "its such a prestigious event" "winning means they're a threat for Wimbledon" etc etc lol. How did the Halle final play out, should Federer fans be worried?

Wimbledon will be different, i don´t see anyone beating Federer in a best of 5 sets match besides Nadal, he´ll reach the final

Im not so sure, i wanna see which side soderling gets on, he will be tough on grass and his confidence is really high at the moment.

I hope its a better tournament than RG though, it was sort of dry not any exceptional matches in my book

I'm glad someone agree's with me on how relatively dull RG was this year.

The Federer slice would be to hot for Soderling to handle on grass in my opinion.

I just hope we get a balanced draw for a change, Wimbledon should really do a bit of rejigging with the seedings, that is why the rule was introduced wasn't it?

You just got spoiled by the awsome play of Gulbis, so when he got injured, the tournament suddenly turned dry.

Sharapova lost Birmingham final to Li Na, still not convinced she is going to challenge at SW19 though,

Women in Eastbourne this week, some strong first rounds:

Wozniaki v Rezai
Radwanska v Azarenka
Clijsters v Wickmayer
Kleybanova v Kuznetsova

Hope Kim is back to fitness and ready for the grass.
