Wimbledon 2009

Once again it's Wimbledon Season this time of the year. This year, I miss my super-star Rafael Nadal who pulled out of Wimbledon due to injury problems. The field is now wide open and many think that Roger Federal is going to win! My take on this year's champion is Andrew Murray, the British player who has shown such skills and he is the most improved all round Grass-Court Player.

I watched all his matches, I find Andy Murray is a very intelligent, fast and powerful tennis player who has an all round game. His most outstanding feature is his "Peripheral Vision" when he is going at the ball. Very few players demonstrate this capability, not even Roger Federal or Rafa Nadal! What I meant when I say Peripheral Vision is the capability of having one eye on the ball and the other watching his opponent and locating where he is! that is why Andy Murray have so many great passing shots etc.

As for the Ladies side, my take is again a Final between the William Sisters of the US! This time, I don't see any potential challenge from the rest of the female players! Personally, I think Serena is the stronger player than Venus but on Grass, Venus has the advantage of being lithe and quick. No matter what this year Wimbledon Finals will be another epic match like last year between Rafa Nadal and Roger Federal!
