Rafa has Murray on his half of the draw and Michael Russel in the 1st round. Federer is on Djokovic's half. Sweeting or Andujar in 2nd round for Rafa, possible Raonic in 3rd and Del Po next . (ý hate ace machine towers.) MAKE IT A WINNING DRAW RAFA! VAMOS! * WHEW !! Isner and Mahut will be facing again. ***

Imelda.. If only Rafa passes the first week, then I'll feel at ease.. Even Roger said that "Rafa is vulnerable in the first week.." So, Roger, you would like someone to take him off , you dont want another Dream Final , eh?? ** BTW, those poor guys, Isner and Mahut will be playing in that same court , Number 18.. Can you believe it ? I read that , at RG, Mahut asked the Org. not to put him on the Number 18 court. Now he gets Number 18 again..

Hahahaha..Love that.. It's from THE GUARDIAN article about Roger Federer talking about Risk-Taking in his rivalry with Rafael Nadal: "Nadal? He never predicts. He just makes life hell for everyone else until they collapse on the end of the most withering, iron-fisted forehand in the sport, something he has done to the Swiss six times in eight slam finals, most recently in Paris last month." www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/jun/19/roger-federer-rafael-nadal-wimbledon-2011
