| | I am going to follow the previous encounters here, a good start from Fed then the gradual emergence of the spaniard grinding Fed down as his fitness takes over. Lay Nadal to start then trade in play |

| | I think "experienced" is the correct word. How old was Agassi? How many cortisone injections had he taken that year? Anyway, time will tell. Let's hope for a fair draw. |

| | hehe..man u r underestimatign nadal's game on gfrass...i wud klike to say tht if the grass ws liek tday thn former playuers wud suffer !! is it an obligation to play on faster grass!! players shud have the skill to play on every kind of
grass.Just as u consider nad to struggle on fast grass i wud xpect connors mcenroe etc to struggle on this grass!!! so u cant blame nadal!!! he just has to play gud which he does.Beatign andre agassi (such an xperienced grass court player ) with 44 winners an 10 errors 17 aces ws the demonstration of nadal's brilliance on grass on 2006 .!!!!thts where is started..and he is improving rapidly..atacks superbly ..coves the net well ..flattens out shots well!!! VAMOS!! |

| | As I recall, Rafa had practically a bye from the 4th round to the final as Berdych didn't really turn up and Novak could only move in one direction. He won the mental battle against Soderling and Youzny though, and those were good wins. I still believe that if he comes up against a big hitter early in the tournament, while the grass is still green, he will face a stiff test. As the tournament progresses and the courts really dry out conditions come more into his favour. If the conditions were still as fast as in the nineties or early 00's, he wouldn't have a chance of winning it. That's just my opinion |

| | this tiem nadal' body also didnot suffer the same stress as last year..he has walked over each and every player in french open and hasnt played any mtches above 3 hrs.Also he h took rest after rome loss.This provides him the chance to win queens and prove it to every one!!!! |

| | JAYKAY!! buddy..i dont agree wid u tht nadal got easy draw last year on wimbledon!! it ws much tougher than roger's draw!! 3rd round inform soderling ..4th round youzhny who has a history of troublign him on fast courts..q.f berdych who also beat the spaniard on hard courts 3 times!! semi final djoko..1st set djo won..2nd one..nad crushed him ..3rd set..nad playin superbly while djo started playin with discomfort so retired..finally he lost to fed due to fed'd supreme serve and fatigue.HE played continuously durinf the 2nd week while roger recived a 4 days rest as he got a walk over haas.Nadal fought all the demons bt hsis body gave up in the end..his average sere speed went down in the final set !!! he played better actualy !! only fed'd serve ws superior!!nadal wil win wimby if djo fall into roger's draw !! tht wud b a blessing for rafa!! so it depends on the drae..with improved and mopre aggressive backhand and forehand he can definitely lift teh wimby troph!! VAMOS RAFA!! |

| | Well done Rafa.A true demolition of the player many people (not me)think is the best the world has ever seen.An example of claycourt tennis at it's best.I look forward to seeing him at Wimbledon to see how his grass court game has improved in 2008.With Federer's form not as good as 2007 & Rafa's form better it looks like only Djoko & Federer stand in his way of winning Wimbledon. |
