There is my point about the next coming major. I believe that Serena Williams has the biggest chance to win in London and Maria Sharapova is her only competition. No other tennis player on the womens side has a chance to win at Wimbledon.
And now some thoughts concerning the mens draw. Four players have the same chance, but I like Roger Federer on grass more than others. Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are also major candidates to win it all at the 2012 Wimbledon. In my opinion that the fourth player who can compete for this major is Milos Raonic who has the best serve at the ATP tour.
I am sorry to say, but Andy Murray is my only the fifth candidate for this trophy. Though Ivan Lendl looks like a perfect coach for him. If Andy Murray can learn to strike the ball like Lendl, he can be a threat, but that's a tall order.
That's quite a statement to make that only two women have a chance of winning Wimbledon given the sheer unpredictability of the women's tour and indeed of the two contendors you mention. and also the large number of different major winners over recent times. Would you have said Kvitova had any chance last year ?
Grass will limit the potential winners a bit, but I'd say it is far more open than you suggest, even if the two most likely may well be Serena and Maria. I'd go for Maria Sharapova,
Re the men's side Milos Raonic indeed has a huge serve, and is still on the up generally, but in my view he is still far away from a potential Wimbledon winner. Boring as it may be, I'd say the winner will come from ther top 4 and my prediction would be Rafa Nadal. Andy Murray's biggest issue remains his serve.

This is why I never make predictions!
Well Maria Sharapova, my other predicted champion did slightly better, OK not a lot. But Milos Raonic did crash and burn

So, my prediction were 100% correct about the winners. And Andy Murray reached the finals and played very good against the King - Roger Federer.

Yep, real congrats to Andy, your 5th candidate, doing much better than your top 4 candidate, "Bambi" Raonic
I glad that Andy reached the finals. Hope he will win a Major in the future.
Really do hope so, and I am becoming more optimistic again.
Such a pity about the real time wasted ( years ! ) before taking real strides in sorting out negative attitudes and becoming more aggessive playingwise.
If that now freees him up to work more on improving / rediscovering some of his actual shots then the future is much brighter.
