Wimbledon 2017 is about to start and I am excited about it. I really like Federer and S.Williams. Serena is not playing this time so I will be vouching for Federer this time. Do you follow Wimbledon? Who is your favorite player this season?

Not into tennis but watch it occasionally. There was some controversy last month when an interviewer ask John McEnroe where he would rank Serena Williams in the men's ranking to which he replied in the 700th.

@vsai2008 _McEnroe has mellowed with age. He was actually baited by the interviewer.

I have to be honest and say I find watching tennis boring and never do it, I know watching the best can be exciting but not so much for me.

I have not been following regularly, but I came across the updates on Times of India website today. I think players like Federer, Nadal, Cilic, Andy Murray and one Japanese player who is in top 10 will have the best chance. In women, I read that one player who was stabbed when fighting a burglar in her house has tried to make a good comeback this time. Will see if I can keep up with updates. Will you be coming up with Wimbledon 2017 related discussions?

@vsai2008 Yes and I have already posted a discussion on that. Quite stunning and the Russian player was playing his first Wimbledon match.

@vsai2008 Something strange happened. I posted a discussion on Wimbledon. Two people had responded also. However, suddenly, that discussion is no longer there.

I'm a huge fan of Rafa Nadal! Before him, it was Andre Agassi. Very early on, Billie Jean King. I covered her match vs Riggs for my small town newspaper, but I was a fan of hers long before that. I loved her serve and volley style of play. I also like to watch Gaƫl Monfils, at least I did before he got so serious. Do you or have you ever played tennis?

Nope, I only watch tennis. Nadal French open final match was good I never saw Billie Jean King play but heard the same from my father :)

One of my favorites is Nadal. He probably won't win because grass is not his best surface, but I'm rooting for him anyway. I think Djokovic might give Federer problems if they both meet each other. He won the tune-up at Eastbourne.

@vsai2008 Agree. I've got my fingers crossed. You can usually count on a great match possibly 5 sets
