The 2014 Wimbledon Championships are far more significant than just being this years second slam.
It is about the BIG FOUR and the the contenders establishing their turf.
A LOT at stake.
I believe events here will have a major impact on the rest the year and beyond.
1-Nadal:
He CLEARLY saw a chance to add to his slam tally, beat Sampras, and possibly catch Fed.
Grass is clearly one of his "least best" surface, and he was hoping to erase the last couple of years worth of desultory results.
2-Djokovic:
Clearly frustrated by losing at the French to Nadal, last years Open to Nadal, and at Wimbledon to Murray, wants to make a stand. It is nice to win masters events, but he wants this. He also wants the #1 ranking back
3-Federer:
He is clearly annoyed at the press for writing him off, and he desperately wants to prove his relevance. He does not see himself as a lion in winter, but right in the thick of it.
4-Murray:
No doubt he wants to repeat. He will not be able to stand the commentary if he does not. He wants to prove last year was not a one off. He has had very lackluster results since that victory. To get back in the mix is clearly what he wants.

Contenders who desperately want to prove they are worth the hype:
Raonic
Grigor D.
Nishikori
And clearly...Stan wants to prove that he can go deep into a slam..after winning one.
