There are some interesting matches which could happen - Roddick v Karlovic in the 2nd round, a re-run of the Queen's final which Roddick won. Roddick v Hewitt a possible semi-final I think - both of them can't meet favourite Roger Federer to the final.
For Tim fan's out there, he's facing quite a tough draw, possibly playing Roddick in the quarters!
Also the draw for the womens has been made :-

Serena Williams here is the bookies favourite, but I wouldn't say it's a stick on. The women's game is quite wide open now adays.

Me likes Wimbledon!

Cows are magnificent,
Cows I call them "moos",
And sometimes silly folk,
They call my moos "coos".

Yeah but Andy Murray doesn't play on the ATP Pro tour. He plays the tour below that, and the level is much lower. There will be a huge gulf from playing juniors where you can win points easily, and playing a grand slam winner like Johansson where every point takes so much out of you.

I doubt Tim'll ever win now though.

Federer is certainly the man to beat.
Henman has a really bad draw, the matches he may have to play are
v S Grosjean
v A Roddick (quarter's)
v L Hewitt (semi's)
v R Federer (final)
Doesn't look likely based on his current form!

He might not even get passed Grosjean! However, I have never rated Henman as I think he is an extremely average tennis player when comparing himself to the rest of the world. Hopefully Murray can bring more life back into British tennis. I mean how can the Greg Rusedski be the second best British player?

Henman is well over-rated because we're desperate to see someone British win wimbledon, and he's the best of a bad bunch.

I watched Federer's opening game, then Lindsay Davenport, and then Marat Safin!

Oh and it's my 1000th post

I think Henin-Hardenne prefers clay surfaces to grass! But it was still a shock.
Tim made hard work of his victory today! A 5 set match is not really what you want in your opening match!
