    Federer may be top seed - but I think Nadal is favourite. The form he is in, I can’t see anyone stopping him. Federer will be hurting from the humiliating French Open defeat and although I expect him to be strong - my money is on Nadal to win it.

    Thanks for checking out the post Thomas.

    Listen, it’s hard to argue with you on this one. Nadal obviously has all the momentum and ability to snap Federer out of his Wimbledon streak but I still believe that this is a very important and defining moment for Federer.

    Federer hasn’t been challenged quite like this in years, since probably becoming world number one, and how he handles this will dictate how the next couple of years go for him in the tour.

    I think Federer would love to break Borg’s record by beating Nadal in the finals but I also wouldn’t be surprised if Nadal has a hiccup in the way to the final Sunday and get upset by someone like Roddick who also has a lot to prove after getting his ass handed to him at the Stella Artois championships by Nadal.

    No matter what, it’s gonna be a great two weeks!

    cheers
