Wimbledon is around the corner and there are plenty
of players who can win the title this year. Andy Roddick
completed his Wimbledon preparations with a successful
defence of his Stella Artois Championship title last
week. In a repeat of last year's final, he defeated
Sebastien Grosjean in straight sets, winning 7-6, 6-4
in 83 minutes.
Earlier in the week, he had set a new service speed
record of 153 mph on grass, and will be a formidable
opponent next week. This was Grosjean's first tournament
on grass this year, and he can be expected to improve
on this showing at Wimbledon.
Unsurprisingly, star performer Andre Agassi has withdrawn
due to injury - he was knocked out in the first round
at the Stella Artois Tournament last week.
World No.1 and defending champion Roger Federer extended
his amazing winning streak on grass to 17 matches by
beating Mardy Fish 6-0, 6-3 in the Halle Open final.
The 22 year-old looked in top form ahead of the defence
of his Wimbledon title, for which he is a 5/4 favourite.
