Laughable.

I would be first one to say that Nadal probably has slight to decent edge over Roger to win W, but Murray or Djokovic over Federer on grass????

[serius_06]

Specially after his RG showing. He should be riding the confidence wave again.

I think Djokovic got a sweetheart draw, Federer's got a bunch of tough customers, but Nadal's got his work cut out for him. Here's my take on this year's men's draw: http://bit.ly/kqol5z

[Intockatt]

Just filling out my I Slept with Steven bracket, and noticed that Gulbis and Tursunov drew each other in the first round. Will it be tennis' most apathetic match?

[electmobile]

Where did Sam Querrey go? I just realized he's nowhere to be found in the draw. I know he lost his last match (but I don't think he retired). And I checked our member only thread and there was no announcement that he had withdrawn.

Anyone know what's up?

Not that I'm crushed or anything. It's a better draw without him. I'm just morbidly curious...

Elbow injury. He's still listed for Newport, though...

That feels pretty optimistic to me. Elbow injuries aren't something that can be shaken off so easily.

Plus, I don't know how much of it is an elbow issue and how much of it is a "I need a break from the sport" issue... He's had a terrible year. A terrible long time.
