Can Roger Federer win Wimbledon?

Jeffdstuff — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:31:35 +0000

After finally winning his very first French Open title a few weeks ago, he's looking to win the big one.

Fresh off his first French Open title, Roger Federer considers himself the man to beat at the 2009 Wimbledon championships. This year’s Wimbledon will be held from June 22 to July 5, 2009 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as always.

And as far as Roger Federer is concerned, he says he’s looking forward to trying to claim a sixth championship. ‘’I do think I’m the favorite, actually, with all the success I’ve had,'’ Federer said.

A little cocky but judging by the way he’s been dominating the past Wimbledon tournaments, he has every reason to be. Sure, his run of five consecutive Wimbledon titles ended with a five-set loss to Rafael Nadal in last year’s final but the guy is still the winner of five of the last six Wimbledon tournaments, and betting against him will still be a very bad idea.

Federer said his back feels OK. He took a six-week break this year because it was bothering him. As for his game, Federer figures he can keep improving, particularly on grass and hard courts, ‘’when I can go for my shots more.'’

We thought Rafael Nadal would be ready for this year’s tournament as this is a must win for him this year if he wants to keep his spot as the world no.1. Unfortunately, he has already ruled himself out of the tournament due to injury.

But aside from Nadal, there will be others looking to beat Federer in England. One of which is Andy Murray, who has good luck against Federer in 2009. Andy has beaten Federer in the semi-finals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open and the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open.

Aside from his success against Federer, Murray has...

Time to bet on Wimbledon 2008

The most grandiose tennis tournament in the world is ON people.

That’s right, the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships, otherwise known simply as Wimbledon, have begun Monday as the top tennis players in the world look to win the very tournament, the ONLY tournament that matters.

While F1 has Monaco, NASCAR has Daytona, soccer has the World Cup and pro wrestling has WrestleMania, tennis has Wimbledon. This tennis tournament in England has always become the highlight of the tennis season and you can bet that every tennis player out there will be out looking to win the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, no matter how hard it will take them.

The 2008 Wimbledon Championships will take place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club starting June 23 through July 6, 2008. This year marks the 132nd edition of the Wimbledon Championships, and the third Grand Slam event of the year.

And just like any other Wimbledon tournaments in the past, the French Open champion will be looking to win in England and follow up on his or her last Grand Slam success.

This year, we have 2008 French Open champions, Rafael Nadal and Ana Ivanovic.

While they are two of the best tennis players we have today, we all know Nadal can’t win if they’re not playing on clay. Ana Ivanovic, on the other hand, won this year’s tournament on clay just because Maria Sharapova wasn’t around to give the Serbian yet another disappointment in the final match.

After all, Maria Sharapova will come in STILL the reigning Wimbledon champion. It is also in Wimbledon where everybody started noticing how good she really is.

This is STILL Sharapova’s turf and her...
