Exactly. I have no problem with him winning wimby, I'd like to see it. But let's be realistic. It takes more than 1 good tournament to put him back at that level.

True. But you could definitely call him the dark horse of Wimbledon. People were saying Gulbis was the dark horse of the FO!

I do. LOL @ *******s. Speak 4 yourself. No one expects him 2 win? Downplayin there main squeeze. WTF He is #1 and just swept through the French and no one expects him 2 win? He is the favorite 2 win. Until Roddick, Federer, Murray and Hewitt show me some epic form in the QF's then I will say others have a shot.
Federer and others the favorite? LOL that is bizzare thinking. He is old and is getting in the same boat as Pete was @ the end. Natural healthy tennis decline.

Hmmm, if I'm to believe the sentiments on these boards, then:
-Nadal is not expected to win b/c it's grass (even though he's won Wimbledon before)
-Federer is not expected to win b/c he's not been in good form lately
-Djokovic is not expected to win b/c ditto on the form.
-Murray is not expected to win b/c he's not aggressive enough
-Roddick is not expected to win b/c it seems he hasn't been the same since Indian Wells and Miami
With all of these players not expected to win, I'm wondering, who the heck IS expected to win?!?!
Gotta love TT boards...

The last 3 make sense out of those 5. It'll be either Federer or Nadal who wins, 95%.

Do you know you are one of the most pessimistic, negative person I have ever read.
Why is this?
I'm not a Murray fan. So me wanting someone (who's game i dislike) to win would be out of the question. He's got a better, much better chance than Hewitt who will probably be out first week.

If Murray went out in the first or second round, would that make you happy?
If he does then I want to see a big smiley face.
I would even sacrifice Murray losing early.
Anything, just anything to make you happy.

Hewitt's got a better chance than Murray. Hewitt is a great player on grass.
I'm indifferent to Murray; i couldn't care less how well he does at the tournament just as long as he doesn't win it.

Is there anyone you would like to see winning it?
I would love to see Hewitt win and Murray of course.
I think Hewitt's chances are minimal but wouldn't it just be great.
That would be a huge shot in the arm for tennis! Would love to see it happen. This guy deserves it if not for anything but for his fighting qualities and belief in his game, limited as it may be. Come on Hewitt!
If you fail to win a specific tournament, then you don't deserve it. Just like many great grass court players have failed to win Wimbledon because they did not play well enough. Hence they didn't deserve to win.

I think a lot of you have Hewitt rated way too high. Ranking him as a top contender at Wimby? Granted he did well last year but there's a lot of guys I like more than Hewitt at Wimby including Feds, Nadal, Roddick, Murray, Djoker, Soderling, Verdasco, Tsonga, Cilic, Berdych, Isner, Gonzo and even guys ranked lower than Hewitt like Gulbis, Karlovic, Gasquet, and Fish. If Hewitt gets to semis again I would be shocked. If he gets to quarters I would be kinda surprised but it also depends on his draw.
Well, i like Hewitt however he won't win so there is no point dreaming about it. That leaves Roddick. However i realise that Roddick isn't as good as Federer and Nadal. If he uses his game and plays the wat he should (Miami SF v's Nadal) then he can beat anyone. It's whether he does play big off the FH though?
No i was being sarcastic to that so called 'Dr' Fedace. If i had Aspergers then i wouldn't be communicating with people; whether it's online or in real life.

Heard of Andy 'I don't mind losing 8 finals to Federer' Roddick? P*ricks with that kind of mentality are the ones that don't deserve it, unlike great fighters like Hewitt.
LOL. Idiot.
I guess Hewitt has beaten Federer in a slam too. Federer has beaten Hewitt around 8 times amirite? Roddick has actually came loser alot more than Hewitt when it comes to KO'ing Federer at a slam.

It is not just about winning or losing. Hewitt brings a fighting mentality when he plays Federer. Unfortunately Federer is a horrible matchup for him, Hewitt has been past his prime since atleast 2006 (maybe sooner), and so Federer just outplays him virtually everytime. However he doesnt bring the quitters mentality to court of some others, most notably guys like Blake and Davydenko.
As for Roddick I used to be impressed with his fighting heart when he played Federer but when he made that "I dont mind losing 100 times in a row to this guy or something" it turned me off completely.
Get me a link!
I'm sure Roddick was real pleased that he lost the Wimbledon 09 final 16-14 wasn't he :roll:. not that he wasn't nearly shedding tears, that didn't happen did it?

You must have horse cr*p in your head for a brain.
So Andy Roddick says he doesn't mind losing 8 finals to Federer and he's renouned for his mental strength. ROFL!

Now see here... That is so not true. Donald Young will never win any tournament. Hewitt can beat just about anyone on grass when his legs are working. He has at least some chance.

Not good for either one. (Maybe a little better for Hewitt. He got lucky in Halle.)
He isn't a defensive junk baller. Out of all the millions of tennis players on earth there are only 3 ahead of him. That makes him God-Like.
Not to mention that he almost won it last year.

I highly doubt Andy was serious when he said that.I don't know what people play at taking Andy's pressers SO seriously.A lot of players try to put a positive spin on their losses immediately after a match.They don't have to necessarily mean what they say.And in Andy's case-He's displayed quite a few times that he's ready to take it to Fed-He has been slightly unfortunate to lose some of their matches.
Anyway Andy also said something like if one threw enough crap at the wall( Fed) something was bound to stick in the same presser.LOL

LOL, priceless ... the justifications that Federer fans put out for Andy 'confidence personified' Roddick!
If what you're saying is true, perhaps you can tell us why Roddick's coach at that time, Jimmy Connors, called it bullsh*t?! Yes, he did go on record calling Roddick's comment bullshi*t and saying 'I don't accept that'.

NOBODY foresaw Sampras winning his last US Open based on his form going into that final slam. But once he got a match under his belt, and got rolling, his instincts and pure talent took over. Hewitt can ride the same supernatural wave that Pete did. Sure it's unlikely, sure it's an unconventional prediction. But those who somewhat know the unique fire that blazes inside Hewitt know he is capable of absolutely anything. I really believe that win over Federer, the hurdle he overcame, can be the key.
The Federer/Nadal stranglehold at Wimbledon will end.

No,I can't tell you why Jimmy said that.Only Jimmy,Andy and camp know the circumstances fully.I won't be surprised if people like you( press in other words) took Andy's remark out of context and put it on Jimbo's ears..Are YOU sure of what Andy really meant?Are you sure Jimmy knew whether Andy really meant what he said at the time the remark was made?If you are and can provide a good argument then I shall stand corrected. Have you even bothered to read Andy's whole presser or are just parroting off that one remark because you LOVE to bash him up every opportunity you get?
Andy hasn't given up against Roger.It's been evident in many of their matches .And he just beat your hero in Miami.
Your irrational bashing is worse than my justification.Isn't there a limit to all this bashing ?How long is Andy going to be grilled for that one remark(even if,let's say,he truly meant every word of it) ?
