Question.

Which would you rather win:

Wimbledon

Olympic Gold Medal at Wimbledon.

--
?

"All matches will be the best of three sets with the exception of the men’s Singles final, which will be the best of five sets"


Winning Wimbledon proper means more than the Olympic Gold medal, imo. You have to win more sets per match in a larger field.

Though I do wonder if the timing will cause people to not give their all during wimbledon this year since the olympic games are going to be 3 weeks after Wimbledon finishes.

Fish just feels bad for Roddick.

They're competing for the top Choker spot.

Don't bother, Mardy.

Usually Wimbledon proper, but they've managed to make the gold medal game matter so much this year, gotta go with that.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

If they want it to matter then they gotta play best of 5 sets and have a field just as large.

Yeah I think it might bring out something in players to know that they are representing their country in an even larger global spotlight, but the fact is that in professional tennis the spotlight on Grand Slams is already pretty damn big. Throw in the fact that in every single match they are ALREADY representing their country. Everyone already knows what country the top pros are from because it says so next to their name in EVERY professional match they have EVER played.


I see little distinction between the gold medal event and wimbledon proper except for the fact that there will be less participants and they wont have to win as many sets to beat someone in a match.

And during the olympics typically the only people who will be tuning into the tennis matches will be the people who would watch tennis normally. Yeah they'll get a massive audience for the semis and finals when they get scheduled when nothing more popular is coming on, but that's it.

Will Sharapova lose her third final on a row this year?!

--

note: even if she does lose, it's great to actually see her being consistently good again.

#1 will be pretty close if she wins too!

Murray is injuring opponents he's scared of before their matches.

Twice in one tournament?

Murray v Djokovic, here we go. Monaco irrelevant.

Monaco wants this set bad.

AND HE SHALL HAVE IT.

It was pretty boring.

Radwanska had a Wozniacki-like performance.

She played really safe, really consistent and got almost everything back and Sharapova just kind of melted away.

Wasn't a huge implosion of double faults or anything (in fact I think she didn't even have on until her last service game) but she still looked like the inexperienced one out there.

Which I just don't get.

Hopefully this'll be a good one.

Prediction: Three sets with Murray choking up as only Murray can do.

--
GameFaqs....a place where people are friendly and nice to each other? You must live in a fantasy world.

Two sets.

Many Murray tears.

Well clearly my prediction skills are a bit lacking....

And this new ATP music sucks. Worse than last year. And that's saying something.

Safe Predix Time:

Djokovic wins the French.

Djokovic wins Wimbledon.

Djokovic wins gold in London.

Djokovic wins the US Open.

Federer wins the Tour Finals.
