Wimbledon besides FedererWho will do the best at Wimbledon, not including Federer?

I voted for Hewitt. But Anicic has alot of confidence in his game as well as Hewitt. But the slowing of the courts favors more of a baseline game. Which Anicic does have but Hewitt's is better.

I said Ivan because he has a game very fitting for grass, so I think he should be able to make it somewhere at Wimby this year.

I think is return game can be in question. Plus his reocrd at Wimbledon is surpisingly bad

I said Ancic because his game's just fit for grass. Huge serve, big return, good volleys- just what you need. Obviously, I want Agassi to win though...

Do you think now that they've slowed down the courts a Wimbledon that it helps Aggasi

I think it will, because he will have a tiny bit more time to react to shots. Like, his reaction time is still great, but it has slowed down. I think, at the same time though, the grass will help him keep the points nice and short, so it won't be as demanding on his body. It will help against, say, a Federer or a huge server.

I think Ancic is primed for a long run, possibly one rd. better than his great '04 Wimbledon. He's got it all to be successful on grass and having such a good clay court season can only help his confidence. He bricked last yr. in the 4th rd when his serve disappeared but he should rebound well. Ljubicic, with a cannon for a serve, should do well also but he's never had great results. I think he'll improve to say the 4th or Quarters but I don't think he's a major contender for challenging Federer. I'm hoping it's Fed-Ancic in the final and it goes the distance. Outside of the 1st Fed-Roddick final, the last 3 finals have stunk on the men's side.

I said Nalbandian. He's an excellent player and I think his run in the French was convincing enough. I'mnot saying he'll make it to the finals but he will go deep in Wimbledon.

Double a did you say Aggassi? Aggassi is coming to Wimby? Man I thought he was done by now because he never goes to tourneys anymore.

Different surfaces though. Confidence can change

Yes, he's playing at Wimbledon. He recently played at the Stella Artois tournament (lost to Henman), and he'll be playing at 'The Boodles Challenge' next week before going to Wimbledon.

I chose Hewitt. I think he has got alot of match-play recently in Paris and at Queens. He is very confident right now and his game is sharp. At Queens so far he has played a great mix of players (Nadal a baseliner, Mirnyi a serve/volleyer, Vicente and Henman doing both). He has had perfect preparation and will have a great chance at the final if he isn't in Federer's half.

Yes. He'lll have much more confidence after making winning Queen's Club as well.

Why doesn't Federer play Queens?? He'd have more confidence

Perhaps he wants Roddick or Hewitt to win something each year.  No, I think it has to do with Halle being a German tournament and that he has a streak going there....

I think Federer prefers Halle so he can get preparation without alot of press attention which would put pressure on him.

I chose Nalbandian. I think he can make the final this year. Who else would? Arod is unconfident, Ljubicic needs another year in my opinion to make a final of a GS, and Nadal is nothing on grass. Ancic isnt there yet either IMO.

Nalbandian's best Grand Slam result has come on grass (finalist), so Nalbandian will be a huge threat. Especially since he plays so well against Federer.

Hewitt's confidence is sky high. So I voted for him.

Federer will win UNLESS someone else really wants it more badly...badlier....

If anyone I want to win it is Roddick. I think he will play well this year.
