Roger gets #15.
Best chance Andy Roddick has had for a Slam title since ... he won the US Open.

(I was going to post PREDIX and such, but am already hungover and that picture has pretty much fused my analytic skills for the foreseeable future.)

Oh, to be 17 again. When rolling out of bed at noon keeps you thin.

Anyone who takes a pic like that is a massive douche. No exceptions. Congrats on having a good diet courtesy of whoever is paying to train you.

Who is that douche? I second whoever already called him a douche.

Dimitrov -- he won Wimbledon and USO juniors last year. He is coached by Peter Lundgren, who says he is "better than Federer at that age," which I think is 17? But might now be 18?

Douche! Plus, skinny muscle types do nothing for me.

I predict Murray def Federer in the men's final. I'll leave you guys to fill in the rest of the blanks.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I still think of Wimbledon as Roger's House. I assume that people are picking Murray based on his success at Queens, record against Federer, and likely crowd support?

I'd be tempted to pick Murray over Fed in the final based on the H2H, but would probably go with Fed in that eventuality. The reason I pick Murray is that I think Djokovic is being really overlooked - he's had a disappointing year by the consistently excellent standards he set in 2008, but he's still reached 6 finals (3 Masters) and beaten Fed 2 out of 2 times. I don't think RG was indicative that Fed's level has been magically raised back to his 05 level - he didn't even have to enter God mode over a whole match to win it. Nole is obviously more vulnerable to an early ambush these days, but I can't quite see a credible ambusher in his draw.

Djokovic beating Fed would be wonderful.

Ljuba Truba is out, replaced by Udomchoke (playing Queer Eye).
