Wimbledon is nearly upon us. Such a short gap between the FO and SW19 this year. Novak has opted for minimal practice so he can recover physically from his FO exploits. I find that slightly risky but I guess no one knows his body better then the player himself.
I am not expecting a great Wimbledon for some strange reason. Rafa is not playing and Roger seems all out of form. Let's hope Medvedev and Stephanos can step up to the plate rather better than they have been doing when crunch time comes.Stotty

I hate to even think to bet against Novak. I keep thinking he won't be able to keep overcoming his dips in energy. But he manages to do it.
With such a short turnaround it will be a challenge for anyone who made deep at RG. Maybe we will get a surprise finalist or even two.
Something like Nalbandian against Hewitt. Maybe Shapovalov vs. Medvedev.
That would be a very interesting final.

Turbulent times. I wouldn't say the UK is putting Wimbledon in a bubble, tho. Much different situation than in the U.S. since over 80% of adults in the UK are vaccinated, highest percentage of any large nation. That and wearing masks when moving around the grounds aren't very restrictive compared to what U.K. has already been through. Certainly, fan response has been extremely positive -- selling 140,000 tickets in only hours, despite only pre-regs having pass code and restrictions.
That's encouraging.
As for the tennis itself -- very hard to predict. Let's see where people fall in the modified (again) draw. And how the finalists recover from Roland-Garros. Novak played a whole lot of tennis to get that title. And, of course, there is London's weather
