Wimbledon:

Its that time of the year again, when people get comfy in front of the telly, get the strawberries and cream ready and hear the delightful words of "Quiet Please, Play".

Undoubtedly the most prestigous grand slam starts on Monday and I can just imagine the hype that suround the grounds of SW19. Last years champions, Novak Djokovic and Petra Kvitova will be under considerable pressure to defend their titles which they have claimed 12 months ago.

In terms of form players, it is unlikely that the title will go to anyone outside the top 3 mens players; Djokovic, Nadal or Federer. The latter however has not captured a major in 2 and a half years. Even the most loyal of Federer supporters will wonder whether hes overall tally will increase from 16. It must be said that Wimbledon and the US Open are his two best slams to experience success, as he reaches the twilight of his career.

Nadal has dominated on clay for the last few years and it seems almost impossible to beat him there, even for Clarke Kent (Novak Djokovic). Djokovic's truimph last year was on the back of an amzing 8 months which saw him just lose 1 match leading up to the event. Federer has played well this year and winning 2 masters titles but the fact that he needs to potentially beat both Djokovic and Nadal is a tough task even for the swiss maestro. Nadal fans at the moment are so arrogant.. he is a good player but I would just love to see Federer take him down. I would rub it into urls faces with endless BC's , messages and phone calls... Come on Fed Dawg!!

On the women's front, Kvitova the defending champion is always a threat on a surface which is considered to favour her power hitting. Serena Williams- the 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010 champion is also one to watch out for. Sharapova is my favourite. After just completing her personal grand slam earlier this month she seems set to dominate the womans game.

I am extremely excited and really looking forward to this years tournament. Nothing will make me happier than seeing Federer truimph for a record equalling 7th time at the All England Club
