For a start Soderling is a better player than Roddick on grass this year without doubt, Soderlings a man on the rise and will be a major threat over the coming years on the faster surfaces, i wouldn’t worry about Nadal whatsoever had he drawn Roddick, Roddicks a bottle job as yet again proven yesterday never has had nor will have the balls when it matters in a slam, Soderlings a far tougher prospect these days.
Soderling is also 1-12 against Federer, has taken exactly 0 sets off him at wimbey, that's 3-0 on grass. If Sod was on his side and Roddick against Nadal, I'm pretty sure you'll be saying otherwise at the start of the tournament. And bottle job Roddick has 3-5 H2H against Nadal, not exactly one sided? And I think he beat Nadal last time they played?
Djokovic is a another one who simply dosnt have the mental strength to compete with the best, hes another one who chokes when it gets tight, so yes id say having to potentially beat Murray in a semi especially with the home support will be much harder than getting past Djokovic.
Djokovic has beaten Federer at a slam, Murray hasn't even taken a set off him at slams. What makes you think he'll win against him here, having in mind Federer is much better at grass than him. In other words the margin between them on grass is much bigger than on HC's where's Murray best surface.
Hewitts a ten years ago man, hes not half the player he was you know this as well as i do, hes a good competitor and will never give up but his games just not up to it, hes a 4th rounder at best these days, Tsonga is a better player than Hewitt, look at the world rankings.
Again, Hewitt had 2 hip surgeries, if Tsonga got those would he be at his level? I doubt so. Hewitt has won Wimbledon, he has numerous titles on grass and has beaten Federer recently on grass. How the hell a 4-2 careerwise like Tsonga is better than Hewitt on grass?
Davy is even in front of Tsonga in the rankings, is he a better at grass than him and Hewitt? Tsonga has beaten nobody at Wimbey, was taken out nearly by Dolgopolov. Since 2003 Hewitt has lost to Federer, Roddick, Djokovic and Baghdatis at Wimbey, not exactly nobodies. Tsonga has won 4 matches in London untill this tournament.
The point is yet again Federers got an easy quarter and semi final and again the main rivals for his crown will all have to tire themselves out fighting each other to get through the other side of the draw, which i dont believe is right…you cannot deny Federer gets favourable draws at Wimbledon.
So Berdych is an easy quarter? I explained above. Is Melzer worse than PHM? Since Roddick is out suddenly the draw became very weak. How are Soderling and Murray more of a threat to Federer than Roddick,Berdych, Djokovic and Hewitt on grass?
In my view he should not even be seeded 1 for these championships, i dont care how many times hes won here years ago this is 2010 and the world rankings show Rafael Nadal is the number 1 tennis player in the world and he should be seeded accordingly.
Nadal is #1 in the ATP, WImbey is not organized by the ATP. What was Sampras ranking in 2000 and 2001? Of course when the difference is 200 points in the rankings Federer should be ranked higher than Nadal at Wimbey cause he is much much better than Nadal on grass.
Wimbledon ranking is unique to other slams, in cases like that, everytime the better player on grass is preffered in the rankings.
