I think the Universe ends, or something, if a Brit wins Wimbledon. Luckily Rusedski’s actually Canadian… ---

Hewitt or Philippoussis will win… Not that I’m biased… 😃 ---

I’m going with Serena Williams as well. And now that Pat Rafter has retired I don’t give a hoot who wins the men’s division. ---

Both Dutchmen out in the same round, on same day and same court. Schalken played his best tennis ever. Richard Krajicek had a great comeback and will be in shape for the US Open. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ianzin \* > Women’s: all I care about is seeing as much as possible of the awesome, strong, athletic, disciplined, graceful, talented and crazy-hair-beautiful **Serena Williams** strut her magic stuff.

If David Nalbandian actually wins this thing tomorrow, consider the Post-Sampras Absolute Friggin Chaos In Men’s Tennis Era to be _on,_ baby. Most likely, Hewitt romps over an overmatched and exhausted Nalbandian and solidifies his status as the next big thing. ---

I found out the other day that changes to your sig line are retroactive. So, if I’d change my sig now to say that Serena will beat Venus in the final at Wimbledon, some of my older posts would make me look precognitive. –Nott, who has never played tennis [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-will-win-wimbledon/115846.md?page=1)
