Who do the members think will win wimbledon, both the men singles and women singles. Wimbledon to me is the creme de la creme of the tennis tournaments.

My favourities to win will be Rafter in men and V. Williams amongst ladies

I am not following tennis for a while now, but it Sampras plays as well as I last saw him play, then he will be the outright favorite.

Agassi, thats one cool customer and the biggest show-man in men’s tennis. If he gets to semis, then he is pretty dangerous.

Rafter… dunno. Is he that good on grass?

I think women’s will be straight fight between William sisters and Hingis. I’ll root for Hingis, bcz she is cuter, less bashful and she actually started crying on losing French Open to Steffi two years back. Now that was something!

I am really happy for Capriati. After a great start to her career, she completely lost her direction in the middle. And now to come back and be at #4 is some achievement.

Question to chilli… Why aren’t Paes & Co, anywhere in the singles ranking? He doesn’t play Singles or did he missed it this time?
