for the information of guppies who followed the fortunes of Aisam ul Haq Qureshi in the wimbeldon doubles last year, he was knocked out in the qualifying rounds this time and therfore wont be participating in the tournament.

So who do you think will win the men’s and women’s singles respectively. My choice Andre Agassi and Serena Williams.

Enjoy the fortnight.

I used to follew Wimbeldon till 1999, after that nevr got the time to know whats going on

3

Why is Miss added infront of every woman's name but no Mr infront of guys???

If Hewitt keeps his cool I think he can win it. Normally serve and volley players are considered dangerous at grass but I think Agassi still has a good chance, he is in top shape and his ground shots are still better then anyone else on the circuit.

4

Without Anna Kournikova, this is not worth watching.

5

^ Thought Agassi would be more your thing :hoonh:

6

^ Not since he cut his hair.

7

Men and Women? Ur just plain greedy :mad:

8

I really can't wait!!!

9

Equal opportunity lender.

10

is ivanisevic playing?

11

where's HINGIS....

12

Tennis needs the top seeds to stay till the end. I think Agassi has a goodchance and Safin needs to put himself back on the map.

13

I'm looking forward to wimbeldon and these r my fav players
Roger FREDERER and Jelena DOKIC .Anna KOURNICOVA is out of form she cares more about herself than tennis.

14

Martin Verkerk :k: :k:

Sjeng Schalken :k: :k:

Tim Henman :nook: :nook:

:hula:

15

Is Sampras retired? Don't know much about any of these guys but one of the Williams will probably win the ladies title.

16

and the news is that LLeyton Hewitt has crash boom banged out of Wimbledon...defeated by a Croat..
bad bad bad...

which is a good thing..no?

18

This is going to be Andi Roddick's wimbeldon. Watch out.

19

Andre Agassi Yaar. Roddick is very over rated and doesn't have much of a game except his serve. Glad to know that Leyton Hewitt has lost in the first round and created history.

Women - I am cheering for Venus williams. :)
