Nadal Pulls out of Wimbledon

[jordanseagull]

Shame, really.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Walk over for Federer then.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Noooooooo

 

[Trigger]

Excellent chance for the FED EXPRESS to regain his crown then, can't really see anyone good enough to challenge him, apart from maybe, Roddick or Tsonga.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Disappointing, but certainly the news that many players will have been waiting for. Cue mass hysteria from the press regarding the chances of Andy Murray.

Federer to win

 

[vegster]

It has been said many times that Nadal is an athlete who puts his body through extreme stress when playing so this comes as no surprise. This leaves the door open for Federa/Murray/etc.

Tsonga is out too i believe, Murray v Fed final

 

[Gritt23]

Excellent chance for Murray now. Excellent stuff.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Monfils has pulled out aswell

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Federer to break the record for Slams then! It's a shame, because I think he would have beaten Nadal in the final anyway. Same at France, I don't doubt Roger Federer would have beaten him, but I'm bloody glad he didn't get the chance to prove it!

Well it looks like a Federer v Murray final then!!! only Roddick or Djokovic would be anywhere near however Roddick cant play against Murray due to the Brits very strong return of serve.

I do feel sorry for Nadal and understand what he is going through but potentially this is great news.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

If Mr Murray can get through the first couple of rounds looking good (as he did at Queens), he should be on target to get to the semis at least. Without Rafa, he ought to have the upper hand against anyone he comes up against- up to the final. I have a feeling Woger will get knocked out to someone unlikely.

He shouldn't have much trouble in the first round, he beat this guy 6-0 6-0 last time they met on grass and that was 3 years ago.

 

[Beach Hut]

Federer deserves his place in history as he really is a magnificent Tennis player.

 

[Don Quixote]

Federer is the best ever tennis player, can some grumpy scot who has never even won a grandslam beat this player of genius? I don't think so. There is no one in the world apart from maybe Nadal that can actually beat Fed on the big stage. No one.
