2014 Slam Challenge - Wimbledon Edition

[El Dude]

ftan, I'm really thinking of changing mine to Roger winning it all. I think it is a long-shot but I want to believe. Roger vs. Grigor in the final would be a dream.

QF: Lopez, Gasquet, Berdych, Murray

WC: Gulbis
DH: Dimitrov

Nehmeth's form isn't completed properly. He forgot about Nadal.

Do you think he'll make it past the first round this year??

Between what happened the last two years, and my overconfidence of his downfall at RG, I respectfully refuse to answer.

OK, seriously, yes I think he'll make it past the first round, but after that, who knows.

This really is a hard one to predict, I'm not very convinced by any of the big four ahead of this tournament. A big part of me thinks we'll get a strange winner but I don't have the stones to predict it

 

[Iona16]

A few posters picking Dimitrov to not only reach Murray but get past him. Very surprised by that I have to say.

Edited, but I don't really like Raonic as a DH. And I know my QFs are a little wacky, but going for variety.

 

[El Dude]

A few of you are still doubling up on WC/DH and QF or SF. You don't have to change it but it is effectively losing a slot - the lesser of them, which would be QF or SF.

(In other words, if you pick Dimitrov as our DH and QF and he makes it to the SF, you get DH points - which would be as a SF, but you don't get extra points for him making it to the QF - that's a lost slot).

 

[El Dude]

OK, I'm picking Roger. I'm going down with the ship! I've also changed my mind on Andy and think he'll get past Novak.

I do realize that putting Rafa at SF and Roger as the winner means I'm effectively picking Roger to beat Rafa in the SF, but I'm also secretly hoping that Milos or Kei takes out Rafa before it gets to that point!

One can dream...

p.s. I still think Rafa is the most likely to win the tournament, but I decided to go with my heart rather than my head.

Go for it Dude! Rafa has a legitimately tricky draw to the semis. Fed has a legit shot IMO. There really isn't a clear favorite this year.
