Wimbledon Day 10 Match of the Day: Tomic vs. Djokovic

For just about all of 2011, Novak Djokovic has been the hottest player in tennis.

For just about all of 2011, Bernard Tomic has been a disappointment. 

On Wednesday, one of these players has a chance to build on 6 months of hard work and be on the verge of becoming the #1 tennis player in the world.  The other can turn his year around and thumb hi noe at those that said he was wasting his talent and time.

Djokovic is the favorite, but Tomic has really come on and is playing great grass court tennis.  In a match like this, experience usually pays off.  They have never played before and I have to go with Djokovic.

Prediction: Djokovic in 4 sets.

Wimbledon Day 9 Match of the Day: Kvitova vs. Pironkova

We have reached the quarter-finals of the 2011 Wimbledon Championships. 

Monday was almost too much action for one to take.  Will things settle down on Tuesday?  I don't think so, and pay special attention to the Petra Kvitova and Tsvetana Pironkova because the 2011 Ladies Champion could come out of this match.

Both scored impressive wins on Monday and I'm not expecting anything less than a three-setter complete with tiebreakers and great shot making.

Prediction:  Kvitova in 3 sets.

Wimbledon Day 8 Match of the Day: Nadal vs. Del Potro

Third match on Centre Court for Monday will be this one that could be a classic.  Rafael Nadal vs. Juan Martin Del Potro.

Nadal gets the edge in most categories and I think he will ultimately win the match, but I like watching these two guys play so much.

Nada; holds the career edge 5-3 over DelPo, and won the only meeting on grass back in 2007.

I like a 4-setter of high quality tennis and great shot making.  Should be fun.

Bonus pick:  The Murray/Gasquet mach could be excellent as well.

Wimbledon Day 6 Match of the Day: Kirilenko vs. S. Williams

A 3rd round match on Court 1 that will actually tell us where Serena is in her comeback right now.

Maria Kirilenko shoud pose a real test, and Serena to me has looked a little off in her first two matches.  That's not to say Serena can't turn it around in a hurry, and what a story it would be if Serena and Venus would make it to the finals.

I don't think that will happen, and I also don't think Serena will beat a match tough Kirilenko on Saturday.

Prediction: Kirilenko in 3 sets.

The whole Centre Court lineup for Friday looks amazing. 

Predictions:  Roddick, Azarenka and Murray.

Also, don't forget about the continuation of the Ryan Harrison / David Ferrer match that will be completed hopefully on Friday.
