The clay court season is over, bring on the grass! And the Americans rejoice.
This year the USA has a slew of talented, strong and tall players that have a legitimate shot of making it to and through the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.
Roddick: Last year's runner up, typically plays well on grass. Hasn't played well (or much at all) recently but look for his huge serve and forehand to help him cruise into the second week.
Sam Querrey: Just won Queen's, which is usually an indication of good things to come at Wimbledon. Like Roddick, has big serve and forehand and now... he has a little confidence.
John Isner: He's 6-10 and hits a huge serve. This alone will get him into the 4th round. Pretty good at net and has a solid ground game. He could be the sleeper in this tournament.
Mardy Fish: Fish beat Andy Murray at Queen's and got to the finals. He's another American with big strokes and the ability to serve up a lot of aces. If he's playing well, he will be an incredibly tough early round opponent for one of the top seeds.
So, it's time to unleash the Americans on London. The French Open is very much over and the USA is ready to impose a good ol fashioned tennis beatdown on the rest of the tour.
