Thought it was time we have one of these leading up to the biggest few weeks of tennis throughout the whole year.

Guess we might as well start with who's the favourite for RG on both the men's and women's side? Men's side is close with Nadal being 5 time champion and Djokovic being in unreal form and well as for the women's, well that's as open as a field gets.

Surely some of you are watching RG now?

My main man Tomas went out today but yeah just need to hope for the best at Wimbledon now, but I doubt he'll ever play as well as he played this time last year.

I like tennis but only really get in to it once Wimbledon is on.

Im the same, I only watch the tennis when Wimbledon is on.

Im a big Cycling fan and rider, im watching the Giro now. These men who ride these tours are real athletes unlike footballers . They do on average 220km a day for three weeks.

Well Nadal was just taken to 5 sets in the first round against John Isner but he came through the test from the Marathon Man at Wimbledon last year.

[Certinfy]

Why not RG, USO and AO though? AO and USO are 'better' slams in my opinion.

And yeah crazy to even think Nadal got taken to 5, backhand was so bad yesterday though, seriously had Isner been able to finish the short balls off there was only one winner.

Cause all of Wimbledon is on the BBC, and obviously there's a buzz around Tennis in England when Wimbledon is on.

Murray's only ever choked once at Wimbledon  And I doubt you can even call that a choke, Nalbandian outclassed him in the last 3 sets back then.

Fair enough, but still BBC have decent coverage of both RG and USO.

Big tennis fan over here. Will watch pretty much all ATP events and some challengers depending on who's playing.

I normally post on MTF, but I'm currently serving a ban.
