Federer! :D he wins allways... Nadal can't win Federer on grass... Federer ussualy beats him on the grass courts and i think he will beat him again ... but sometimes Nadal shows us surprises... so :) let's wait to the final and enjoy match

ofcourse Federer is the only one to consider for this title......even though Nadal is on fire but i think federer is going to clinch up the victory. No other competitor.......

Well, with 5 consecutive titles under his belt, Roger is already an enigma. Interesting that according to an ATPTennis.com poll, better than 90% of fans believe that Federer will top Pete Sampras' record of 14 total Grand Slam titles. Right now with 5 Wimbledon titles, Roger is tied with the all time record of Bjorn Borg. But guess who Borg is picking to win Wimbledon this year: Nadal. Does Borg have a personal bias, wanting to see his record remain unsurpassed? Who knows. But let's remember that in addition to the 5 consecutive Wimbledon titles, Roger first got on the Wimbledon radar screen by beating Pete Sampras in 2001. That's a hell of an accomplishment all by itself. Despite Roger's loss to Nadal at the French a few weeks ago, grass is a different story. I'm pulling for Roger.

dear melo_828, I am a real big fan of roger. He plays so beautifully sometimes it's painful to watch as it's like watching too a lot of artworks in a time. However, Nadal is improving so vastly. I do not see Roger winning this time unless he raise his game to another level. He missed out on practices at the beginning of the year and I think that will disrupt his rhythm the whole year round. I bet he will bounce back next year if he does not retire.
I really don't care who wins in women tennis because it's always a different person.

but grass court of wimbledon is the favorite of federer. he has record breaking 59 winning streak in the grass court. and recently after french open, roger won a tille at halle, germany. i hope this will boost his confidence. go roger, get your sixth straight wimbledon championship...

I'm supporting Nadal this year because I don't want Roger Federer to win his 6th consecutive Wimbledon title! I think Roger did really well last year to equal Borg's record at Wimbledon but I don't want Borg's record broken by Federer. Borg has always been my favourite tennis player. Go Nadal!!
