Yeah with Djokovic/Wawrinka/Murray either still crocked or looking past it it's more or less a procession for Nadal on clay. Ditto Federer on grass.

Maybe the US Open could surprise.

Probably going to be proved really wrong here (not the first time:ph34r:)

But I think Wimbledon might be a little more open than the US Open. Last years US Open was the pits where Rafa won without breaking sweat, ffs PCB was in a semi final. If the courts are like last year Rafa will win.

Wimbledon does look like it will be Federer, but hopeful that grass gives more hope to the big hitters. I do think Zverev could do well here especially.

Am really hoping Zverev does well at Wimbledon. Open it up a little and make it interesting.

Eh, he's easily the best player on grass in the field, no reason why he can't. Remember too he's been resting it up in Basel for the last 3 months, no reason for fatigue to be that much of a factor.

He's probably favorite, but it's nowhere near as much of a foregone conclusion as Nadal on clay. He was a few points away from losing yesterday without facing a breakpoint all match. Quick surfaces always give the big hitters a chance.

That's why I was hoping Nadal would slip up a bit while defending his points on clay, but the guy's a machine. :(
