I don't care if the draw isn't out yet, we need this thread already.
So who do you think will win it this year? Get voting!

It's Fed or Nadal for me. No one else stands a chance.

I only see it being between Nadal and Nole, the latter if Nadal isn't playing at his best.

Rafa'll be only the second Spaniard to ever win wimbledon, vamos!
He was even closer to beating Fed last year than in 2006's final and he's going in with his first title on grass. We all saw how he managed Djokovic on Sunday so it's his best chance so far.

I'm voting Nadal. Sadly this puts me into a tricky position with my yearly Wimbledon £10 bet with my mother, who has consistently picked Nadal. My second choice is Federer, but I think it's a big ask considering his current form.

The most open Wimbledon since 2003, I think this will be Federer's last grand slam victory.

Whether he wins it or not, it probably will be his last slam

You think he'll retire after this then?

No, I think he'll keep trying assuming he continues to enjoy the game.

Predictions time.....woohooo !!!!!!
Here goes....
(1) It will rain..........'nuff said
(2) Andy will officially withdraw from the championships 2 days before due to an ingrowing toenail which broke painfully during a match at the Boodles challenge. His team will release a statement saying that he's still ONLY 21 and that he's acting on the advice of expert medical attention
(3) Andy will officially announce his reparticipation in the championships at 8.27am on the first morning via text message to his official website who will then faint at actually possessing unique content. In a press conference later that day it will be revealed that Judy pulled it out with a pair of pliers the previous night
(4) It will rain during the middle weekend........
(5) Cliff Richard will entertain the crowds and bring out his latest single "Come and make me smile...."
(6) Rafa and Toni will then release a duet titled "Smile and make me come, no ?"
(7) Julia and Cate will buy the single. Then they will smile. I don't know what Rafa will do.
(8) Andy will pull off a stunning straight sets win over Novak Djokovic in round 4. Murraymania will hit the nation. Judy's pliers will make the front page of the next day's Daily Star and become Mark's new avatar........Clydey will then start a debate "Are glamour models sluts if these pose with tools ?" which will last 41 pages
(9) Jimmy Connors will once again give the impression of being constipated while commentating....(remember those strange uuummm noises he makes)
(10) In an attempt to prove he actually has a personality.....Tim Henman with commentate for the entire fortnight in an Ariel leather thong
(11) I will get laid by a 5ft10 blonde during day 1 of the Wimbledon queue (well maybe not but I'm an optimistic kind of guy)
(12) Having beaten Djokovic, Murray will lose 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the quarter-finals to a Brazilian qualifier who was playing his first tournament on grass. Sadly the qualifier could not give a post-match conference because he could not speak english. Murray will blame his defeat on an 11am start (due to rain), his toenail and then smash up the courtesy car
(13) When asked for his thoughts on his brother's behaviour Jamie Murray will reply "Oh aye, its a terrible waste of money.....I know better things you can do in the back of courtesy cars......."
(13) Neil will not get laid during the championships
(14) No British wildcards will make it past day 1.......Afterwards Roger Draper will sack all the ballkids and comment "It's a bloody disgrace, I'm at the end of my feckin' tether with these time-wasters, I spend all this bloody money on them and they still don't win. I'm sure John and I could beat some of that lot". Next year's wildcards will be handed out via a public ballot and on Ebay
(15) Rafa Nadal will win his first Wimbledon after a thrilling final against Roger Federer, notable for the largest crowd invasion seen since Boyzone were in the charts.
(16) The court damage done by several hundred pairs of high-heels means that the 2009 championships will be relocated to to Spain
(17) Jamie Murray will retain his mixed doubles title with an unknown Slovakian he met in the back of a courtesy car
(18) Andy Castle will describe it as "A proud moment for our James."

I'm sure one of the single femmes here will oblige.
