Is there anyone else who could possibly upset one, two, or three of these champions? If a dark horse were to win Wimbledon, they'd most likely have to beat 3/4 of the top seeds. I just can't see anyone doing that, but let's toss out a few names just to be safe.
Ever heard of Milos Raonic? I think you will soon. Believe it or not, he's Canadian. Currently ranked 28th in the world, he's the highest ranking Canadian men's player of all-time. His strength is his serve, which tops out at 140 mph. Only 20, he's been steadily moving up the rankings this year, making it to the round of 16 at the Australian Open and then beating #9 ranked Fernando Verdasco to win the San Jose ATP tournament for his first title. If he wins his first two matches at Wimbledon, he will be matched up against Rafael Nadal.
Can Andy Roddick do it? If he wins his matches, he would face Andy Murray in the quarterfinals. Roddick usually plays well at Wimbledon. This would also be a match to watch.
Honestly, outside of those guys, I just can't see anyone pulling a major upset. The top 3 are playing far too well right now.
Which of course means that we'll have a monumental upset of one of these guys before the semi-finals.
My prediction is Nadal vs Federer in the Final. Federer wins in 4 sets.
