or number 1 for Djokovic?
given recent form, things look less than great for Nadal-but he likes the big stage and slams are a different beast to other tournaments.
So- new thread to talk ( mostly) about tennis- though it's not compulsory.
, and we all have different favourites and respect that others might not love our favourites as much as we do.
so...a week to go. May Murray be less tired, Rafa more confident , and a happy tournament be had by all.

It's reverse psychology. Maybe Rafa will do better if I am supporting not really someone else

Purple, we are giving reverse psychology a go 
as none of our support,swearing or shouting vamos has done much good
Fed must be loving his draw.
Both Rafa and Novak have a tough draw still think it's a pity they will (fingers crossed) meet so early.

I'm very excited about the start of this. It's my second favourite GS. I just hope I actually get to watch some!

magi it is. I know it's summer when Wimbledon is on. Even if it is raining.
I like the US and the Aus, but they are the ones I don't get chance to see much of, as I don't have Sky etc. The last few years I have been able to watch thanks to the internet, but rarely saw much before (only when the Beeb saw fit to show them if a Brit did well- like Rusedski against Rafter at the US. I wanted Rafter to win.).

RG is also my second favourite GS, after Wimbledon of course. Can't wait!

Wimbledon is the 
of my year.
Every January it gets blanked out in the calendar as the time when I am not available.
About 3 years ago DS asked DIL to marry him & I asked when they were thinking of having the wedding. The reply came:
"May or June next year, Mum - but don't worry it won't be during Wimbledon - cos I know you won't be there!!".

I have always booked time off during Wimbledon, too.
When we got married, it was the softball season we had to avoid though
.
Annoyingly the local village festival still insist on having it on the middle Saturday of Wimbledon. The dcs are invariably involved in some way, so i have to go. And it rains.
It is also that weekend that dh goes to Leeds. For softball.
I may have get myself on the festival committee and get it moved to the middle of July.

Adding to my ever growing list of 'interesting' stats- apparently, Agassi and Federer both won at RG on their 11th attempt.
it will be Djok's 11th attempt this fortnight....
Go Djok

Courier does go on, doesn't he? Nothing like a discourse on racquet tension to liven up proceedings
It is a lovely shade of purple- not so sure about the pink shorts.
Of course, the real fashion statement of the day is to come. Will Stan have ironed his shirt?
Falla was giving this a good shot- but it wasn't going to last.
They were discussing Gulbis and his complete loss of form after beating Roger here last year. I have a soft spot for the grumpy one. I hope he does well.

Yes, very much a scraping the barrel story.
The stripe down the back of Fed's shirt makes him look very sweaty.
