He could only face two of them. And :lol: @ including Edmund in the 'rough' list.
Now we don't know why Novak actually went there. The weather is always terrible, looks like it's gonna rain a lot. Plus all the gales -- he won't like it.
querrey was playing well in queens but ran into an inform muller. i'll take him to win this. djokovic has a rough draw just to make the final. based on his level this year and the fact that its his first event on grass i dont think he'll get there.
Have to go with my home boy Sam Querrey for this. He's the only one who played well enough to win a final this year, beating Nadal no less, showing that on a good day he can be just as good as Federer.
The only stern opposition I see for Querrey is obviously big John Isner, but I didn't like how easily Isner went down in Queens. That level won't do.
With these two as favourites and the dependable Johnson also lurking in the draw I think it's safe to say an American will bring this title home.
Good field...nice tournament! I am not picking anybody, just looking forward to how it shapes up. I too would like to see Gasquet win...inspired by @nadalfan2007, I like Richard's 'ballstriking'.
Gasquet's ballstriking is so-so, to say the least. He has one the worst forehands in top 100 and 90% of his backhands are defensive. Still better than these typical grasscourters like Lopez, Mahut, Muller, Karlovic who slice and can't hit top spin shots, though.
Quite obvious Djokovic takes the cake here despite his form, but what the hell is Gasquet doing? Playing four weeks in a row with Wimby and that with his back
I realize this is a big "if" given Novak's 12-month string of mediocrity, but if Novak wins Eastbourne, it'll be a big confidence boost, even though it's just a 250. There are a heckuva lot of good grass-courters in the draw: Isner, Johnson, Querrey, M. Zverev, Gasquet, and Anderson. If Novak crashes out, then it's the same old same old we've seen from Novak. But if he wins, it's a good sign. I'm not saying he's a lock to win Wimbledon, or even get to the final, but at least he's on the right track.
I guess the obvious pick would be Djokovic but there are a surprising amount of big servers on his side of the draw, wouldn't be shocked if he gets upset. I guess I'll go with Isner, hard to say really
