Wimbledon 2015 Day 08
And it's Manic Monday. In less than half an hour players will be taking to the court for what is probably the busiest day of the tournament and certainly the day TPTB do not want it to rain on as it really does play havoc with their scheduling.
Andy, Novak, Roger and Stan all play today and any or all of them could be tested. I fully expect all four to come through quite comfortably - I hope they do. The other four men's matches could all be interesting, a couple on paper could be tight whereas a couple should be won (on paper) easily by the seeds. However, as we know matches are not played on paper.
On the ladies side the Williams sister play one another (that's not a match I shall watch as their matches against one another tend to be boring); I think Serena will win. Two of my favourite players Aga Radwanska and Jelena Jankovic play one another in what could be the best ladies match today, so either way one player I like will go through *g* Fingers crossed Caroline Wozniacki also goes through and Maria Sharapova should not have any major problems.
There are some potentially good doubles matches as well. So all in all a really good day of tennis - on paper at least *g* But I'm sure it will be a good day.
Let's see how wrong or right I can be in picking my winners.
MEN'S
Novak Djokovic
Roger Federer
Andy Murray
Stan Warwinka
Tomas Berdych
Marin Cilic
Richard Gasquet (This was the hardest winner for me to decide on; I changed my mind from Gasquet to Kyrgios and back again multiple times. In the end I decided to go with my first call).
Viktor Troicki
WOMEN'S
Serena Williams
Maria Sharapova
Caroline Wazniacki
Lucis Safarova
Agnieszka Radwanska
Victoria Azarenka
Madison Keys
Timea Bacsinszky (This one is purely on ranking as I don't know either her or her opponent)
