As for Wimbledon, people are asking who will win and I don’t know. Yes, it could believably be both the number one seeds, but it could be other people entirely. I think Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have to be favourites (Murray did enough at the French to deserve to be put into the conversation, and he is defending champion). It’s getting to be quite a while since Djokovic did well at a slam, isn’t it? But then it could be someone else entirely (Federer and Dimitrov won the run-up championships) as at the Australian. The women’s side is, again, unpredictable - I’m really pleased that they’ve invited Lisicki to take Bartoli’s champion slot – as per last year and the French. Will it be one of the riding players or an established name? I hope there are some quality matches as we find out!
