ah, once again it is almost upon us
that's right kids, Wimbledon is just a few short days away.
I think on the men's side it'll be either Andre Agassi (he's well due for another win..and with Sampras out this year, he's got a very very good chance to do it), or Tim Henman (he's made it to the semi's 4 of the last 5 years, so he's probably due to win sooner rather than later).
On the women's side, I'll obviously have to think that Serena Williams will win based on her succes over the past year, but her older sister, Venus Williams, will also put in a very strong showing. Jennifer Capriati also has a great chance to win this year as well(and it's been over 17 months since her last title win, so she's definately due)...she's got the speed and power to put it all together.
Your predictions (if any of you care, that is)?

I hope Heman looses at an early stage.
I hate girly cries of "we love you tim" just before every serve, and the sooner he goes the better.
He should stick to detergent comercials, the twat.
Heman comes across as thinking he has the god given right to win Wimbledon, simply cos he's British.

that's the obvious choice clearly, but the women's field is pretty strong, but as I said, Serena, Venus or Capriati will win

Mens
Roddick would be my favourite. I hope Henman Does it though. Failing that, i hope anyone but Hewitt wins. ****ing wanker
Womens.
Tough to look past serena but i see no reason why Venus couldnt beat her. Capriate just went out of eastbourne at the semis, didnt look tooo hot, so iu wouldnt bet on her

Roddick or Hewitt for the mens, with Rusedski to get knocked out in the second round and Henman to reach the quarters.
Serena Williams for the women's.

Roddick, though I'll be cheering for Agassi mainly.
In the women's Serena Williams, though I'll be cheering for Hantuchova and Henin-Hardenne.
