    Nadal to win Wimbledon?

    After that break, I think Nadal is in better shape than he was last year. Doesn't seem like he does anything other than think about tennis. Concerned about Fed's stamina issues. I think US Open @ 5.50 is a good bet, but I'm thinking there's a good chance he could take Wimbledon @ 7.00.

    You can never discount Rafa, but there's a fair bit of talent on grass these days and Rafa will no doubt have his eyes firmly fixed on another RG trophy.

    Most likely at the expense of being able to back that up a couple of weeks later.

    Nadal is a guy that can go from one tournament to another and still perform. Last year he was trucking hard from Australia through to Roland Garros, and he began to fall off toward the end of the year. This year he rested from Australia to Monte Carlo (skipped the punishing hard courts), and he'll likely have less wear and tear heading into Wimbledon.

    Honestly can't tell if he's taking steroids or not. Either way he's intense as he's ever been, looks committed to destroying everyone - Federer in particular (after last year's defeats). Fed won Australia, but he had an easy road then struggled with Cilic. He ran out of gas in Indian Wells and crashed out of Miami. He's still the best bet, but I think he's suffering a lot more than he was last year. Not sure if it's in his dna to compete much longer.

    (Concerned because my entire year so far is depending on Fed winning)

    He will need a lot of luck to win it
    Maybe it's best to skip Wimbledon and focus on US open

    There is not that bad chance, if he is healthy.

    Nadal has a much better serve than in the past. Last year the courts in Wimledon were very slow.
