Safin is my favorite player. It's a shame he never lived up to his potential.

agreed but he just didn't want it enough. i mean the guy still has time but he's retiring at the end of the year. if he truly loved tennis as much as someone like federer or nadal he would play until he couldn't do it anymore.

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

loving the wimbledon, its good that the weather here in the uk is doing so well, we may even see a wimbledon without the rain! Dance4Life is supporting Andy Murray

I want Tsonga to win. If not, then I'm okay with either Murray or Federer winning. Roddick too.

For girls, I always like seeing Sharapova and Ivanovic play.

Roger and Ana for the win.

Roger leads by 2 sets to 0 against Garcia-Lopez, who's playing quite well actually, but Roger just ain't from this world.

well maria is out and ana is set to meet venus in the round of 16. chances of ana winning this are close to zero. i do like tsonga though, he got to walk through to the third round which is nice

lol Sharapova.

French Open finalist Soderling in a bit of trouble right now down 1 set. we'll see what happens with him

Azarenka looks like a very strong candidate to win it all.

Safin likes to enjoy life too much, can't blame him for that. And mentally he didn't have what it takes to truly live up to his potential.

he does but wouldn't it have been great if he dominated the game for a bit of time right after winning the us open? either way it wasn't meant to be but disappointing way to leave his last wimbledon. i hope he does relatively well at the us open though since it will be his last hurrah. maybe his sister will even win a major there...

We all know Safin has a ton of talent, and could have dominated the circuit for a good number of years, but I think he just boils down to his confidence level and commitment to traveling non stop throughout the year. It seems Safin wasn't feeling right about being a professional tennis player.
