The draw is out and once again all talk prior to it was about Nadal.
Gentlemen's Singles - 2013 Wimbledon Championships Website - Official Site by IBM

Nadal is in Federer's quarter meaning a potential quarter-final clash between these two greats. The winner will play Murray.

The possible quarter-finals barring any upset are :

Djokovic v Berdych
Ferrer v Del Potro

Federer v Nadal
Tsonga v Murray


So then, who is your favorite to win the Wimbledon this year?


_______

I want Nadal to win but I think this is Djokovic's title to loose.

I would say Djokovic is damn lucky being in another half as only one among Federer, Nadal and Murray will be facing him :shock: Afterall this ain't Cricket World Cup so as everyone plays with each other in the first round ( Is that first round in Cricket called Knock out round?? I don't watch Cricket :? )

This will become a milestone if Federer wins!! First to win 8 times :mrgreen:

----------

I want Djokovic to win but as Federer would make a record, I wish he be.
But I voted for Djokovic.

In tennis, every game is a knock-out. You win you progress, you loose you are out.
In cricket it depends on the tournament. Most multi-team tournaments have a round-robin format where every team plays every other team in its pool with the top teams progressing to the knock-out rounds. Pretty much like the Fifa World Cup.

First day of Wimbledon and we have the biggest shock. Nadal loses to Darcis in straight sets : 6-7, 6-7, 4-6 :(
Last year he lost to 100th ranked Lukas Rosol in the second round. This time he loses to 135th ranked Steve Darcis in the first round. The first time ever Nadal has lost in the first round of a Grand Slam.

During the match it did seem like his Nadal's knee problems were back. Hopefully its nothing serious.
