    I know there's some boring **** happening in a field with a bare rectangular patch in the middle and a load of druids all worshipping a block of wood and a burnt scotch egg

    Both will win at canter today imo. But how do you see the SF going?

    Federer looks sublime this year, albeit he's had an easy draw - but I can't see Murray getting near him on this form, can you?

    Fed looks like he can win it this year and I hope he does though I think he'll have to get past Wawrinka in the semis who did him on clay, but this is Wimbledon so it's a different situation

    The other semi will presumably be Murray v Djokovic... could go either way and whoever wins will be a tough opponent in the final

    Federer looks mentally and physically dominant right now however so I think he can beat anyone this year at any time, but I'm biased

    (I think I've got those potential semis right)

    FFS I should've looked at the Wimbledon website at the draw instead of elsewhere... will be a tough match that, Murray's defence and fitness against Federers attack, hard to call

    Yeah it'll be a decent match, but I think Federer will have enough to see him off.

    I'm going to back against the bookies and go for a Stan vs Roger final

    I think Federer needs a bit of luck to win it. 3 sets to 4 sets game.

    Not sure about Fed. He's looking good alright but against the bigger players for me he's not mentally tough enough. Even when he first started he wasn't decent until he mentally got the first one. He dominated for a while but then he started losing to rafa - especially at the slams. Whether that was down to age or another thing i don't know but recently he hasn't been able to beat any of the bigger players at the slams.

    Also a reason why i wouldn't put FED as the GOAT.

    he's 33. he's been consistently fading once games go long.

    for me I'd have him at greatest without question. both in terms of achievement and in terms of desire and in terms of sheer brilliance.
