To be honest mixed doubles always looks a little silly to me. It always seems to be the lady trying to hang onto her serve and the guy rushing the net and smacking the ball at the Lady on the other team in quite a vicious manner. But, a wins a win

yeah i agree, i dont really like the doubles but the win for UK is awesome lol
I missed the doubles final. The Bryan brothers from USA also lost in their final to some French guys.
I actually like watching doubles, but I feel it's less important that singles. It can get interesting though, especially Men's Doubles.

doubles is such a different, interesting strategy game than singles. definitely would be nice to see more of it on air
yeah I was really hoping nadal would win. Losing those tiebreakers were killer. Great match though!
Wow, totally awesome thread resurrection dude!
Obviously Andy Murray FTW
Thank you
wasn't to hard as it is one of the only Wimbledon threads
I want Murray to win but i don't see him doing to well this year
I'm lame and I like Federer
Obvioulsy one of the fav's to win it, played an awesome game today though
WTF? He's Scottish! I'd rather a Welshman win... Come back Fred Perry, I say!Wow, totally awesome thread resurrection dude!
Obviously Andy Murray FTW
[/joke]
WTF? Not quoting my whole post!As am I. I only live in London to get the lovely English money
Now I'm in trouble... 
I don't know about Federer. I think Nadal only loses when he isn't Nadal-ish enough. He loses when he doesn't play well, which isn't often. Federer just looks beatable more often than Nadal, particularly recently.
I don't think Nadal could lose against Federer unless he has a stinker of a game. I really don't know how Nadal loses at all.

Nadal all the way
Although now that Djokovic has fallen by the way side to Marat Safin, Federer's got a better chance on his side of the draw.
(4-6 6-7 2-6)

exactly what i was thinking. with Djokovic losing, Federer has it easier. go Nadal!
Wow, I remember this thread from last year.
Federer is looking really sharp from what I saw in the Soderling match. If Safin doesn't implode, he could set up a really interesting semi with Federer.
I think Nadal will get through to the final on the bottom half of the draw, unless Roddick serves out of his mind and goes for his forehand in that semi.

I think you all forgetting Ivanovich is through
...It was also a great match
+1
Ana put on a stunning performance in Melb'n, and I don't think anyone expected her to win in Paris. But her in Melbourne got me backing her, and I think she'll go far in the women's side as well. (besides the fact that she makes Sharapova and Kournikova look like dogs.
) If the Williams sisters are in the same draw, one will cancel the other out, the other may go down to Davenport (if she maintains form, but she's looking tired and haggardly this year!). Someone in the women's side would need to take the power game out, which if they are all in the same draw (Venus, Serena, Sharapova, Davenport), it will be very interesting.As far as the men.. It's been Federer/Nadal the past couple of times, hasn't it? Despite the losses, I think Nadal is getting to Roger, at least in the head games. IIRC, they are in the same draw, aren't they? If so, expect that match to be packed.
Seeing that this is grass, and Federer is currently on the same path as Sampras (Sampras never won the French Open, because like Federer, clay was his hardest surface to play on; grass was his best followed by hardcourt), These last two slams are going to be hard for him to lose on.
Though I'd like to see James Blake make it at least to the 4th round (gods above know we could use another Arthur Ashe!), I'm tipping Federer on the men's, Ivanovic on the women's.
BL.
It would be a brilliant match, cant wait to see the outcome for the semi finals, both women and men
