This is a good match, i have to wonder how many people thought it would go five. Two countrymen, two lefties, and two hotties.

I don't think Nadal can overcome that to take down Federer, but what do I know?

They're both playing great tennis, but Roger on the hardcourt... tough to go against that.

That, combined with the fact that Nadal was on court for 5 hrs and 14 minutes with one less day of rest. Nadal did beat Fed on grass last year, but the surface was slower than ever in that match. Nadal looked like a whooped dog coming off the court with Verdasco. He may be in spectacular shape, but I think it's probably gonna be too much to overcome this time.

It is early in the season, so he should be able to bounce back a little more easily... But yes, it is a tall order.

If she'd focus and keep in shape, age could probably win all of them this year. French will be tough, but she has to be the favorite in the others, even over Venus at Wimbledon.

she looked sluggish in a lot of matches imo. I still believe she would have lost to Azarenka. I think with Safina, Dementieva, Jankovic and likely healthy by middle of the year (and next major) Ivanovic and Sharapova, there's no way Serena can win all of them. Not to mention that 2,356 up and comers ready to make a splash like Kusnetsova, Petrova, Wasniacki and Azarenka.

She might not play with those folkes on clay, but she'll be massively favored over them on the faster surfaces and is by far the better player on those surfaces.

I don't know. I think a healthy Sharapova can get to her at Wimbledon, even if they do make it faster.
