The Gerry Weber Open in Halle will hardly have any attention. The world cup will have taken over all of the attention in Germany. At tht tournament, they have even set up a large screen for people to watch football.

Nadal might win a few matches on pure talent. But he won't win the whole thing

Yes I think so. Nadal would want to keep his head to head still in his favor. Plus I think Nadal would want to get to England early to prepare for Wimbledon atimosphere. The thing is the draw for Queens is tougher other than Federer.

the draws are out. A great first round match will be Agassi-Henman. Also Johhanson-Mirnyi could be good.

I am really glad that England won! Hopefully they will keep at it but I don't see them winning the World Cup.

Back to tennis, Henman v Agassi should be a great match. I think Henman will win it.

Intresting to say Henman will win it. Both players haven't had a great year (Aggasi with his injury). I think I'll put my money on Aggasi. Though expect a slow start from him.

I'm saying Agassi will win. Agassi is fitter, and I think his powerful strokes will beat Henman's touch volleys. That being said, it will be a great match. I think Henman doesn't have the weapons a Sampras or a Taylor Dent has to get Agassi out of rhythm. As well, of the two, Agassi is the more accomplished grass court player. We have to see how Agassi hits the courts, though.

I think Agassi will be fine with the nerves...his major complication is shot selection during a match....

I think Henman will win. Agassi hasen't played for a while and has been very up and down in recent years. Henman though, in 2006 has shown signs of his top form regularly. He is in much more of a rhythm than Agassi is, and will have alot of confidence from a decent season so far. You have to do something special to stay away from the game for a large time and come back to beat Henman on grass. Another thing is that Henman is more natural on grass, and the faster Queen's courts will be great for his volleys. On the other hand, Agassi could come out and grind the match down like he has done so many times, but Henman has to be the favourite considering the season they've had so far.

The grass does give Henman the advantage. But Aggasi groundstrokes I think will make the difference in this match
