Not the headline, sorry, but the opening para " Roger Federer claims Rafael Nadal's vulnerability on grass will be a significant boost to his chances of winning Wimbledon for a record-breaking eighth time." is not there anywhere in the direct quotes of what Fed has said. And what is quoted of him suggests he wants to focus on his game and is not worried about Nadal, so it is contradictory. Yeah, all three articles have the same headline and opening para so I guess one guy wrote the story and others simply copied it! :P But anyhow, the opening para just seems to be a misinterpretation of what he said, maybe to stir controversy and get a lot of hits and likes and arguments, etc.

And lol also to the Bull fan in the comments on the Australian website. Nadal is a better person, yeah, that's why he thinks umpires are nasty for imposing time violation penalties in spite of taking an eternity between serves and that's why he wants fewer tournaments along with slower courts.

Federer: I Can Win Wimbledon
By ATP Staff; ATP News, June 21, 2014
“I feel like I’m a contender for the tournament,” said the World No. 4, seeded fourth this year. “I feel like if things click here, I should be able to win the tournament; whereas at Roland Garros I feel like I'm slightly more dependent on [Nadal].

Luke Saville may have lost in straight sets to Dimitrov (who is playing phenomenally well) but he has a great game and did exceptionally well for a first timer 20 year old at Wimbledon. His game has very classical elements, unlike other upcoming (or not so upcoming) players like say Raonic or Tomic. Would be disappointed if he doesn't shape up to be a star in the future.

Looked like history was going to repeat itself. Lukas Rosol was ahead by a set and up a break in the second set of the Wimbledon 2nd round match,
but Rafa Nadal fights back to win 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4!

Dimitrov-Dolgopolov was epic. Just a whole array of unbelievable strokes plus monstrous serves. I have never seen The Dog play so well, so consistently. Amazing that he would still lose. Dimitrov is looking more and more like the real deal.
-
That was a great match wasn't it. Would like to second McEnroe's thought. I guess we are looking at a future grandslammer in Dimitrov. And I have high hopes on Raonic too.
-
Raonic has an even more monstrous serve but his movements need to improve. The only thing Dimitrov needs to work on is using cross court angles more. He only seems to hit DTL and inside out forehands. But yes, we are indeed looking at a future champion. It is, at least ought to be, a question of when rather than whether. He bravely attacked the net at critical junctures yesterday, otherwise breaking Dolgo's serve was not easy. There are some exciting youngsters coming through - Saville, Kuznetsov - and they seem to favour attacking rather than defensive tennis.
-
Compared to Dolgo-Dimitrov, Murray match was semma blade. The man's love for dull rally shots is phenomenal.

Nole defeats Tsonga.. But he had to fight the crowd more than Tsonga...
