Federer and Nadal to clash in Wimbledon quarter finals!

Roger and Rafa are not happy, the Djoker smiles… a lot!

Tough for Roger

Finally Nadal fell in Federer’s quarter. Roger has a very good draw till the quarters, then… if he wants to win his 8th Wimbledon he may have to beat back back Nadal , Murray and Djokovic (ups…)

Horrible for Rafa

Rafa was definitely the worse off. In fact in the third round he should play a very erratic Paire, then as super dangerous Wawrinka and then if he wants to win he should have back to back victory over Federer, Murray and Djokovic.

Super Wonderful for Nole

Nole had a wonderful draw. He might have some problems with Haas in the 4th round and definitely Berdych in the quarters, but not having any other big 4 in his half…well that’s a luxury!

It’s fine for Andy

Andy Murray had a decent draw. The first serious challenge should be Tsonga in the quarters, then either Rafa or Roger in the semifinal.

Opportunity for Dimitrov?

It’s interesting David Ferrer’s quarter as the place in the semifinal is up for grab and it’s time for Dimitrov to make a move as he fell in that section and probably Del Potro is the most dangerous player (but he is not 100% fit). Reaching the semis in Wimbledon would show to the tennis world that he is not only a pretty face.

Our Pick -> Djokovic

After the draw has been compiled our pick is definitely Djokovic as he is expected to reach the final without clashing with any other top four. On the other side of the draw… well that won’t be easy!
