Folks, I always get really excited around this time of the year due to a couple of things (great weather, summer time) but mainly cause of one thing: Wimbledon!
One of the most time honored and oldest tennis tournaments which embodies a true sense of tradition with culture resulting in Champions that often carry themselves with the highest of standards demanded by this Tournaments. The tournament always seems to crown the players which have polished games to tackle the speed and power required to play on this surface of grass.
It has made legends out of great players; Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Bjorn Borg to name a few that come to mind.
All of whom have at least five, that’s right FIVE Wimbledon titles each. With Sampras leading the way with Seven, and Federer closing in with Five and counting (Aiming for a Sixth this year)!! Wimbeldon this year represents more challenges to Federer then before. These challenges come in the form of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and maybe even a refreshed and rested Andy Roddick.
As many of you know this is the first time in two years Federer has started out NOT winning a Grand slam event before Wimbeldon. Thus people are starting to question his abilities after the routing that Nadal gave him at the french. I for one feel as though it will be the hardest Federer will have to work to beat Djokovic and Nadal. These players are not afraid of Federer and have showcased they can and will beat Federer if the opportunity is there or make it so it presents it self. Thoughts?Comments please do tell
