My 2010 Wimbledon Prediction Thread:

Hall of Fame
Ok, so I did the Aussie, did pretty bad in predicting the French, so Im here for redemption.

Quarter 1:
[2] Roger Federer vs [12] Tomas Berdych
As we know Federer has the QF streak going. Falla, Robredo or jokes, and Melzer and Lopez simply dont have the game to beat Fed. Berdych makes the QF because he does well on the grass, and Davydenko hates it. Wawrinka could challenge Berdych, but Berdych is in form, Wawrinka playing a clay challenger doesnt look very good for his Wimby prep.

Quarter 2:
[15] Lleyton Hewitt vs [5] Andy Roddick
Lleyton over Djokovic was my toughest descision. Lleyton gets the nod for form, and the fact that he beat Federer. He has to be pumped. I know Novak is 2-0 on grass, but Hewitt really impressed my in Halle. Roddick should get through to set a repeat of last years epic QF. Cilic shouldnt go to far, and while Kohlshreiber could trouble Roddick, I could easily see him going out to Gabishvilli.

Quarter 3:
[8] Fernando Verdasco vs [4] Andy Murray
Verdasco and Tsonga will be the best R16 match. I have Verdasco getting through because Tsonga has yet to show results on grass. Verdasco has more variety. Murray has a good draw. Querrey could be potentially tough, but Murray historically owns those type of guys, and Ferrero may even take Querrey out.

Quarter 4:
[6] Robin Soderling vs [1] Rafael Nadal
Obviously the big match for the draw. Soderling is a solid grass courter and should get through with a fairly good draw. Bagghy has done well on grass, but I doubt if he has the consistency to take out Soderling. Rafa has a tough draw, in my mind similar to his 07 draw. Blake, Gulbis, Isner/Youzhny will not be easy. That being said hes won his last matches against all of these guys, and I cant see him losing this early at Wimby, where his FH is pure ownage.

Quarter Results:
Federer def. Berdych
Roddick def. Hewitt
Murray def. Verdasco
Nadal def. Soderling

Semis:
Roddick def. Federer
Nadal def. Murray

Finals:
Nadal def. Roddick
 
I know that Roddick has the ability to trouble federer on grass but the question is whether he is tough enough to do it especially after the hertbreaking loss last year.

Not the worst draw analysis and predictions we'll see over the next couple of days.
 
Im predicting

2nd round loss of Nadal to Solderling.
Querry beats Murray.
Roddick beats LLeyton.

Fed beats Querry in the finals.
 
Quarters:

Federer defeats Berdych in 4 sets
Hewitt defets Roddick in 5 sets
Querrey defeats Tsonga in 4 sets
Nadal defeats Soderling in 5 sets


Semis:

Federer defeats Hewitt in 3 sets
Nadal defeats Querrey in 4 sets

Final:

A long shot, but nevertheless.

Poor Davydenko... no one expects anything from him.

My predictions are pretty close to Clayman's, except I picked Tsonga over Verdasco because of how good his serve could potentially be on grass.
 
I honestly don't think Nadal can cruise to the final this year, he's playing great that's for sure. But even if he gets to the final whoever he's playing either if it's Federer or Roddick they have his number.
 
I'm surprised that nobody has yet pointed out that Federer is the #1 seed and Nadal is #2.

This isn't a surprise - We all knew Wimbledon has it's own seeding and does not utilize the ATP rankings. Which is why Roddick is ranked higher than Soderling, also a bit perplexing.

Yellow Octopus - No way Isner even gets past Youzhny. His serve is great but as we all know a serve alone won't win you majors just ask Ivo Karlovic that. Isner isn't a great grass courter nor does he have much experience, and to me he doesn't have the movement to contend with top level guys.

I think you've got that the wrong way around.

Nadal 14 Federer 7
Nadal 5 Roddick 3

2008 Nadal bet em both on Grass.

Not an easy draw for Nadal, but certainly one he can and should come out of.
 
I have such a gut feeling that Melter or Tipsa will take out Fed, but I can't bring myself to call it....

Q

Federer vs Hanescu (prompt "what the hell?"s)
Hewitt vs Roddick (Maybe Gabashvili, Fish, or Kohl. Idk.)
Querrey vs Tsonga (My upset quarter)
Nadal vs Söderling

S

Federer vs Hewitt
Querrey vs Söderling

F

?????Federer????? vs Soderling


W

Soderling, breaking through in a Slam final at last after 2 awful ones. That is, if his knee is okay. A big if.
Hewitt has what I would call a "dream draw" for him and a real shot
