G.O.A.T.
Someone who has never won a match in any major is the favorite for Wimbledon? This is 2019, not 1985.

I'm not predicting that Tsitsipas will have anything resembling the career of Federer. Let me be clear. But, he's 20. What did Federer do through age 20? Tsit made the R of 16 last year at age 19, and this year, made the SF at the AO and the 4th round at RG, falling to Stan by the narrowest of margins. His game also seems to travel well on grass, and he seems to welcome big moments.Djokovic >>> Federer > Nadal >>>>>>>>>>> Del Potro
Can’t even say who is the 5th favourite because everyone outside of this 4 have chances less than 1%.
Don’t know why so many people here believe that Tsitsipas is on the list. NextGens are all mugs at Slams until proven otherwise.
Break out win.
It is time.
Clay should have been the hardest for an old player, no?
I don't know his game all that well, but I wouldn't have thought he was going to have his breakout win on grass of all surfaces. Isn't he more likely to do that at the US Open or at next year's Roland Garros?
Not wrong.Easy draw.
Del Potro? Only if the whole top-10 withdraws.Djokovic >>> Federer > Nadal >>>>>>>>>>> Del Potro

Well, check out the current top 10 then. Thiem, Fognini and Nishikori all can barely play on grass. Zverev and Khachanov can’t be considered GS favourites and I put Tsitsipas to them, but it’s debateble. Anderson is injured.Del Potro? Only if the whole top-10 withdraws.
What’s your top 5 btw?Del Potro? Only if the whole top-10 withdraws.
Okay, he isn't my top pick for Wimby, but I truly think he has the skills and they match up well on grass. He has gained a bit of maturity this year and I do beleive he is a contender if all the stars align. My top pick would actually be Khachanov.
I think the big three will dump by the round of 16 or maybe semis, but if anyone will pull through it should be Fed.
Federer and Djokovic are the favorites. The others are too far away so I don't see a reason to mention them.What’s your top 5 btw?
You were both right and wrong. His clay game tanked at the beginning of this season, worse than 2013, but not the finish. I like what he's doing with the serve. Swing it wide, do it over and over again, just dare players to shade that way, then hit a bomb up the T.His game has changed, though. Now he has a bigger serve and flatter strokes. I've said for a while that his clay game would drop and grass game would improve because of it, and I was right about the clay part.
What kinda badboy are you? Already making excuses? Man up son, or change your name to SoftBoy321.Why is everyone putting Fed so high? Didn't he bow out 4R last year? And he's gonna be 38 soon!
Thiem? Has he ever done anything at Wimbledon? Also why are people putting Rafa over novak?

Even though I joke about Wimbledon being green clay, it's still grass and I didnt think thiem did much on grass. He also straight settled nole last year and got to the French open final and lost 4th round at WimbledonThiem just made the Final of a GS with a fantastic showing vs Novak, who up until that match seemed to be the odds-on favorite not just for this Slam but for all of them.
Novak didn't look good in that loss, and then Rafa comes and wipes the floor with the same guy.
Much respect bro I'm still trying to get my first woman on here to quote me or just simply like one of my postsBadboy moniker is just to get the chicks on here.

She'll see right through me, I am a confirmed Rafamos fam member.Just say something against Nadal and some crazy chick named Cristti will start stalking you.
QF, 15-13 in the 5th to the finalist.
He's good on grass, he looks like he's in good shape, he just made the SF on what many (erroneously imo, but w/e) think is his worst surface so on his best surface he could win.
Obvious top three favorites is obvious. Obvious order of top three favorites is obvious.
Bookies' consensus is that Zverev is fourth favorite, though one or two have him joint with someone else.
Most have one of Tsitsipas, Kyrgios, Del Potro, and Cilic as #5 favorite. Not much consensus about that.
What is Elrond doing there
LOL at putting Tsitsipas over Nadal.Djokovic, Federer, Tsitsipas.
I see no reason to assume anyone else is going to pull it off. Cilic fell off a cliff, where the hell even is Raonic? Anderson is just trying to come back from injury, whatever renaissance Isner was having last year is over.
I'll throw Pouille out as a dark horse.
If clay isn't Federer's worst surface, what is?QF, 15-13 in the 5th to the finalist.

And Thiem.The draw will play a big role, i. e., will Federer land in Djokovic or Nadal's half?
1. Djokovic
The reigning champion. Super hungry after getting screwed by weather and scheduling in RG.
2. Nadal
High confidence and less pressure after winning RG. Did well here last year.
3. Federer
He is nearly 38 and will likely have to get through BOTH Nadal and Djokovic.
4. Delpo (if healthy)
He came back quite strong in Rome. If fully recovered, he is a title contender.
5. Tsitsipas
He has kept showing improvement. The Stan match in RG can only help.
Doesn't have one.If clay isn't Federer's worst surface, what is?
Doesn't have one.
Clay.Doesn't have one.
Surprised to see Zverev's name in some ppl's list. Based on what?
Yeah. If anyone got screwed by scheduling, it was Thiem.And Thiem.
No idea why the bit in bold is the case - he's never even reached the QF at SW19.
Medvedev has never won a title on grass or reached past the 3rd (4th?) round of a slam.
