All systems are go for Wimbledon this upcoming week and what a tournament we are in store for. Its very difficult to fathom anything other than a victory for one of The Big Four. This will be the first Major that all four of the top players will all be competing to take the title since
record breaking Spaniard Rafael Nadal
returned to fitness earlier this year. With the exception of Nadal, all four have been in patchy form. Djokovic hasnt been himself; Federer is past his prime and not winning tournaments as easily as he once did. While Murray comes in to this tournament feeling fresh, it will be a concern for him he hasnt played in a 5 setter since the Australian Open this year, having had to withdraw from the French Open.
4. Andy Murray
A well-rested Andy Murray will once again carry the hopes of the home crowd on his broad shoulders, who will be hoping that Murray can become the first Brit to win the tournament since the great Fred Perry did so in 1936, no pressure then Andy. Murray it seems is feeling relaxed and happy with his preparations ahead of the spectacle and feels he greatly benefitted from his Olympic and US Open successes last year, "I think both of them obviously will have helped me in different ways.

missed the French Open due to a niggling back injury and surely has to be feeling optimistic if not confident, having won his maiden slam at
last years US Open. The 26 year olds coming of age moment was at the
Olympic tournament which was also at Wimbledon, Murray finally shook off his tag as a nearly man having finished as runner up in all four of his previous Grand Slam final appearances. He followed up that gold medal winning performance by claiming victory at Flushing Meadows. The Dunblane man will rightly be feeling good about his chances having claimed his third
victory at Queens last week, defeating Marin Cilic in the final. British fingers and toes are crossed.
