Who are the dark horses for Wimbledon

[srinrajesh]

There are going to be some dangerous unseeded players for Wimbledon--

If he slips from current ranking of 32 Roddick could be the biggest unseeded player because of his past performance but poor current form means he could be unseeded
Who are the dark horses and dangerous floaters ?

Raonic, Isner could be dark horses who could go deep along with Gasquet

Other floaters could be Nicolas Mahut, Nalbandian, Goffin, Haase, Dodig

 

[srinrajesh]

Karlovic is another who will always be a factor

 

[Murrayalmagrofan]

Raonic is a dangerous floater. If he puts a great 2 weeks together, he has the game to win it all.

You read it here first folks!

 

[srinrajesh]

Some of the experienced floaters could be Baghdatis, Hewitt, Haas and Querrey
Anyone know if Fish will be playing at Wimby?

 

[start the lawnmower]

Biggest dark horse? Has to be federer doesn't it?

 

[SStrikerR]

Raonic is a dangerous floater. If he puts a great 2 weeks together, he has the game to win it all.

No we didn't, people have said this many, many times. A lot of people playing at their absolute best could win it all.

However, THERE ARE NO DARK HORSES. Nobody that people wouldn't expect to win will win.

 

[srinrajesh]

Other big servers could be Lopez, Gilles Muller and Anderson

 

[batz]

Anyone not named Rafael or Novak.

What about Kei Nishikori?

 

[kishnabe]

Raonic, Jamie Baker, Nicolaus Mahut, Tommy Haas, Richard Gasquet, Former Champions: Roddick and Hewitt.

 

[BigServer1]

Dark Horse is typically a person that could come out of nowhere and win. I think there's exactly a 0% chance of this happening.

A person who could shock someone and make a QF/SF? Raonic.

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Raonic, Jamie Baker, Nicolaus Mahut, Tommy Haas, Richard Gasquet, Former Champions: Roddick and Hewitt.

Roddick's never won Wimbledon, though.

 

[BobFL]

Deliciano can be REALLY dangerous on grass. He is my pick for DH

 

[The Baseline]

What about Fernando Verdasco. Hes always a threat to breakthrough and win anything.

 

[kishnabe]

Roddick's never won Wimbledon, though.

Don't know why I put that. Then again he is as close as it got to winning but not winning.

 

[srinrajesh]

Usually Dark horses could be someone outside Top 10 .. Isner is just back at 10 so maybe Raonic

:shock: the world number 203 from Paisley?

The guy who almost beat the field in Queens. Been waiting since 2010....for a good run here.

 

[Boricua]

Del Potro and even darker horses, Nalbandian and Haas

 

[Warmaster]

The X-Man!

 

[PetSounds]

Nobody. Even when Berdy made the final he threw up all over himself.

 

[batz]

The guy who almost beat the field in Queens. Been waiting since 2010....for a good run here.

Are you sure you're not thinking about James Ward? He made Queen's semis last year.

 

[KTENNIS]

Tomic? He made it to the QF last year, might cause an upset or two this year.

 

[papertank]

Raonic I think is the biggest dark horse. We have hardly see what he can do on grass yet, and it suits his game well.

Isner and Tomic would be my two other choices. Can't really think of anyone else. Berdych and Tsonga I don't think would be considered dark horses as they gone far before.

 

[cc0509]

No dark horses are going to win this tournament. It will be Nadal or Djokovic with a slight chance for Federer if he can be consistent for two weeks and raise his game when he needs to.

That is it.

 

[kishnabe]

Are you sure you're not thinking about James Ward? He made Queen's semis last year.

Yes Jamie Ward. At least I got the first name right. Jamie Ward it is...then.

 

[Mustard]

James Ward went out early this year.

Roddick has had a horrible year thus far and just lost to Roger-Vasselin so I doubt he will be much of a threat. His serve has stunk, his groundies are erratic, his return is a mess. It would take a miracle for him to go deep. He is not a dark horse.

Haas seems to be doing well but outside of German tournaments he has only done well at RG. I personally want him to do well but I am holding back on the Dark horse label.

People I would watch for:
Isner
Gasquet
Kohly

Among unseeded:
Malisse
Querrey
Nalbandian (altho if he really goes deep in Queens might he get seeded?)

Today we've only got a surprising semifinalist. My picks are Raonic, Tipsarevic and Nishikori.

 

[Cormorant]

Haase and Dolgopolov could bowl over some big names, but they've both lost to Youzhny this week so perhaps I should go for him(the Russian made a great start to his match with Fed in London last year, after all).

And I'm tempted to tip Kubot too, but he seems incapable of maintaining momentum in recent matches where he's taken the first set.
