Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2009
Just had a look at the draw and needed to make two changes. I'm now confident of 8 out of 10 of my men getting through. 50/50 guess between Darcis and Dancevic, so that might be 9
My final pick was JC Ferrero. Obviously he is a great player, and a cheap wildcard at £1.5m. Tough draw for him getting Michael Youzhny. Taking a gamble with it anyway as i am hoping Ferrero can cause a mini upset
Not even looked at the womans draw. That's a lottery!

Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2009
I have had a look through the draw, and these are the 'potential' 4th round matches should they all get through...
Davydenko - Roddick I can't pick a winner
Del Potro - Ferrer I can't pick a winner
Gonzalez - Simon Tough to pick a winner
Murray - Wawrinka I do fancy Murray for this one
Robredo/Schuettler - Djokovic He doesnt have a great record here, but i'd back Djokoic here
Blake - Cilic Tough to call. Good grass record against good form
Tsonga - Verdasco Very tough to call
Federer - Soderling Regulation Federer win
Any ideas anyone? I currently have both Blake and Cilic, so would lose one for sure in the 4th round. That said, i see little that suggests an easy route through for anyone

Pair of Aces is in.
Tough draws to predict, with the lack of form at the top of the womens game and Nadal withdrawing.

It's a bit like Glasgow Rangers and Queens Park Rangers.
Or Nottingham Forest and Walthamstow Forest.
Or Sheffield Wednesday and A Fortnight Next Wednesday.
Or Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting and Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting
Can you see what I mean, they sound the same, and at first glance you would be forgiven for thinking they were the same, but they're not the same. What they are is similar, sort of in the same vein, but not actually the same.
I hope I've managed to get my point across but if you need a wee bit more explanation, if you'd like me to elaborate a bit, in the interests of clarity, just give me a shout. I'll see what I can do

Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2009
My team was in days ago: Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wade
I just picked a few names I wanted and added the rest almost at random. I had the intention of tweaking it after seeing the draw and comparing prices with bookies' odds but I'll stay cool and trust my initial pin work (actually I'd best just go back and check none of them have pulled out...)
