the backhand is a singular word therefore only one hand should be used when performing it. Therefore I am cheering on Federer for playing the game properly.
Had a small wager on Federer before the first week .. fingers crossed that he breaks the record .. to me, the best player ever to watch, so smooth and calm and quick .. the Nijinski/Nuryev/George Best of tennis players
The artist vs the scientist. So much to admire in Novak but some how I just can't warm to him, whereas Rog makes winning tennis look beautiful as well. Hard to imagine that even Murray would have better backing from the crowd, let's hope that can help put that little bit of extra spring in his step. Deserves to be the undisputed all time Wimbledon champ with 8 titles in recognition of how much more competition he faced compared to Sampras.
I wouldnt write Murray off yet. He is less consistent than RF and Novak, but has the capacity to beat both. Sadly Wawrinkas rise has come too late for him to challenge for more than another coue of years. Wl be interested to see how Baird (?) turns out - still only 20. Sock probably wont establish himself. Raonic isnt reaching potential. I hope to hell the 6'10" serve and volley merchants dont come to dominate again...One thing you can say for our current top 4 - they produce the most exciting long rallies and the mens game has been better than ever for the last 15 years.

Think Serena Williams will win in straight sets though.
6-4
Williams breaks to love and wins 6-4 6-4.
Djok to win in straight sets now

He lost in five sets in the first round at Wimbledon this time around but has a good all round game and could be a name to watch for the future.
