Wimbledon is underway! I feel alive again.
Rafael Nadal is already through the first round with a straight sets victory over American journeyman, Michael Russell. No major upsets so far. Other winners on the day include Monfils, Berdych, Gasquet, Wawrinka, Fish, and Raonic.
The back end of this tournament sets up very nicely once again. If form holds, Nadal and Murray will meet in one semifinal, Djokovic and Federer in the other. With those four playing such superb tennis, why root for upsets when we have those potential monumental matchups to look forward to...
Every tennis fan knows by now that John Isner and Nicolas Mahut will meet again in the first round tomorrow. Highly doubtful they can recreate the insanity of last year's neverending story, but after serendipitously drawing each other again, it'll be interesting to watch no matter what.
London calling!
