Nothing is more tragic in sports than top athletes who are unable to step away. They still got time, but I want to see new blood.

Not really new, but I do see Maria making a big dent at Wimbledon. She should not have lost to Na Li at Roland Garros, though Na Li played the match and tournament of her life. Good for her - all of China was behind her and that's a lotta people

Murray - what can I say? I hope he can overcome Tim Henman Syndrome - the weight of an entire nation is on his shoulders, a nation that has enjoyed so much tennis success in the distant past. Wimbledon and US Open are his best chances for a Slam.

But not this year...'cause Fed ain't done.

Fed will win Wimbledon 2011 or I consider going vegetarian and sparing poohbear and his gang... lol

The Williams sisters are how I was introduced to tennis, so I will support them until they're in wheelchairs. Plus, there have been no other women in the field that have kept my attention the way they have. I like a few of the up and comers, but the veterans just make me shrug.

I've been a Murray fan for 3 years now (since the summer of '08). I can't wait to see him win his first Major.

As for Fed, I stopped following him a little over a year ago. I was a serious fan for a while but things changed. One reason is because he's won everything there is to win, but the main reason is his attitude. I don't mind a champion being a little cocky; by all rights he's earned it, but, to be so dismissive of his opponents. Worse than that, making excuse after excuse for a losing streak...and again dismissing his opponents. It just left a bad taste...The only player, of late, that I've seen Fed be respectful to has been Rafa, and it would not surprise me if it was because Rafa took Fed's place.
