Hewitt or Roddick. Both show signs of getting back on track. If not then Ljubicic or Nalbandian. No chance in he$l that it is Nadal.

Why is Ancic not on that list? He's playing great on CLAY, just imagine how well he can do on grass.

That list is sad. This has to be the weakest era of grasscourt players ever.
Fernando Gonzalez would have skipped Wimbledon had he played ten years ago because he wouldn't be able to win more than 1 or 2 matches.
You forgot to put Grosjean on that list. Apparently he's one of the 5 best grasscourt players today(sigh)

Tim Henman is always a contender but given how far he's dropped in the rankings I doubt Wimby can get away with seeding him which means his draw will be very tough. But hey, Goran came back from the dead and won as a wildcard, beating Tim in that epic semifinal. Maybe it's finally Tim's turn!
Didn't see Thomas Johansson on that list. SF last year. If his serve is firing he's going to be a threat too.
Agassi is always a contender in any tournament. If he's healthy and on the other side of the draw from Federer wouldn't be shocked to see him in the last four.

Yes I miss the great grass court days when you had Malivia Washington in the finals and Jason Stoltenberg in the semis in the same year, followed by Cedric Pioline in the finals and Todd Woodbridge in the semis the following year.Moose Malloy said:

At least they could volley. Coria, Ferrero, Gonzalez all made the 2nd week last year without S&Ving once(or volleying much period) They should just officially call W a green hardcourt, it certainly doesn't resemble grass anymore.

We have to just admit grass court tennis has changed dramatically since 2002. The good part is regardless how they change, more often than not, the best player still wins. Wimbledon simply gets in line with most other tournaments. I can see why W wants to change, I just don't understand why Australia Open wants to change from medium to slow.

True. I think the slower surface has alot to do with the players not volleying as much though.Moose Malloy said:

Its bizarre though. Players are coming to net more on clay than grass. What the hell is going on?

There are a lot more longer points on clay, eventually more short balls force players to come in because it is not as easy to hit winners. On grass, the points are not as long even though it is much longer than used to, when a short ball occurs, players are going for out right winner rather than as approach shot.Moose Malloy said:

So how come claycourt play of just a few years ago contained almost no volleying?(& guys going for outright winners on approach like Ferrero, Kuerten, Moya)
Tennis today is very strange.

Why on earth are Murray, Bhagdatis, and Nadal on the poll instead of Ljubicic, Grosjean, Ancic, or even Berdych or Gasquet who have better games for grass then any of those three. It is no surprise those three have no votes so far.

True but he's coming off an eye injury, not shoulder or knee problems which have affected him in the past. His only problem is distance-judging but he's been trying out contacts to remedy that. Plus, his eyesight is slowly coming back so as long as he sees the ball good enough I think he'll do well. Again, like anyone, depends on his draw. ToJo had a pretty easy draw last year. The only dangerous player he faced was Nalbandian in the QF but Nalby didn't bring his A game. More like his F game. Hopefully he'll be in top form tomorrow. If he is he'll give Federer a run for his money.J-man said:

You pathetic wretch. The only reason you omitted Federer from this list is so you could, hopefully, see, in writing, from someone, "Lleyton Hewitt" in the same sentence as "Wimbledon" and "win". That's the ONLY hope you have. Even if Federer is INJURED (and can't PLAY), he'll STILL win it. He's that good on grass. (and I'm no Federer fanboy).Lleyton Hewitt said:
