Wimbledon is only a day away and with defending champion, World Number 1, and my Hero, Rafael Nadal out with an injury, i just hope to God, World Number 3 Andy Murray wins it.
Because i'll simply "die" if Roger Federer does.

Nadal isnt playing so my interest has waned a bit. But i'll be looking out for Federer winning this one. In Nadal's absence though i think i'll be switching some support to my beleaguered fellow - Djokovic.

I just hope he doesn't disappoint. It's been long he did well in a tournament when he's considered the favourite.

Dont be surprised, Andy will win at least one . . . i think he will get lucky pretty soon. I doubt he can win on grass just yet though with a fit and healthy Federer and Nadal.

@dayokanu,
When was the last time an englishman won at Queens?
Well Murray just did.
Andy Murray is the most improved player going into this tournament. Thats y i'm tippin him. I dont really like him. I'd prefer novak. But i dont fancy novak's chances against fed. But if novak should win, Perfect!

Injuries come with the territory. When Fedex had a horrible stomach virus induced 2008, Nadal flew to No. 1 . Roger that!
