PAW Wimbledon seed report
http://www.wimbledon.org/images/nav/top/w0000nt1.gif
Seeds: 1-16
1-andrew_uk (GBR)
Strengths: Gets the ball rolling pretty early with his PAW totals. Has experience –reigning semi-finalist.
Weaknesses: Weighty expectations from the public/fellow players.
2-mypapa_je (INA)
Strengths: Has the ability to play top notch PAWing without much recent from – see Miami.
Weaknesses: Not really a Gram Slam junkie, embarrassing results in both Paris and Melbourne.
3-AGUSTIN (ARG)
Strengths: One of the most in form players entering SW19, not only Roland Garros but played well in s’Hertogenbosch.
Weakness: May be unaccustomed to his number 3 seeding.
4-Pintaled (AUS)
Strengths: Top 6 at both Slams this year and won lead-up event in Eastbourne. So form is rock solid.
Weaknesses: Peaked too early? Has the tendency to play it safe when upsets are bound to occur.
5-ghosts (BUL)
Strengths: Experience, his 4th Wimbledon, also solid top 5 finish in Eastbourne.
Weaknesses: Choking, had 2 match pts to win the US Open last year but crumbled under pressure.
6-SpikeyAidanm (AUS)
Strengths: Motivation, seems motivated than ever this year after no longer being the hunted, now the hunter.
Weaknesses: When his game is bad, it’s real ugly, can have flashy brilliant PAW’s followed by a streak of non-repairable damage.
7-WTA Handicapper (GBR)
Strengths: Knows his PAW opponents tactical play better than anyone. Last year came a solid 12th.
Weaknesses: Abnormal tactics. At the French it was PAWing all 26 matches before the fourth round, last year it was PAWing less than 5 matches in round one.
8-sandg (INA)
Strengths: Conservative picking. Will PAW some big pointers but leave others, saving of picks could see a climbing during the second week.
Weaknesses: Hasn’t had a top 8 Grand Slam finish for a long time now.
9-efss (INA)
Strengths: Aggressive when the moment counts, doesn’t hold back.
Weaknesses: Not yet a Grand Slam rookie.
10-Conchi Party (CAN)
Strengths: PAW’s with no fear as shown, a testament to his top 10 rank after only turning professional just over one year ago.
Weaknesses: Maybe pressured for ranking points as loads come off in the summer.
11-bbypk (ESP)
Strengths: Has made the top 4 of three of the four slams, last year made the final after some gutsy picking – “Frazier over Myskina.”
Weaknesses: The Anna Kournikova / Nadia Petrova of PAW. You get me.
12-lukehingis (SIN)
Strengths: Confidence on a high, nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Weaknesses: See AGUSTIN, may feel vulnerable with his sudden high seeding.
13-rrfnpump (GER)
Strengths: Solid results all year, due for a Grand Slam breakthrough.
Weaknesses: Just graduated from high school, so mind may not be entirely focused on this tournament.
14-kimclijsters4ever (BEL)
Strengths: As defending champ, plays on centre court 2pm on the Tuesday, avoiding the graveyard court 2.
Weaknesses: Hasn’t really done much since winning Wimbledon last year.
15-thekimfan (BEL)
Strengths: Fan-PAWing paid dividends in his Indian Wells win, can Clijsters do it at Wimbledon?
Weaknesses: Internet access.
16-tRaB (BEL)
Strengths: Within the elite top 5 players in the world this year.
Weaknesses: Quoted he doesn’t like grass, uh-oh.
Seeds: 17-32
17-broncosven (AUS)
Grew up on grass but cancels the wrong PAW’s frequently.
18-raquel (GBR)
Missed opportunity at Roland Garros means she is hungrier than ever but like compatriot andrew_uk, has the publicity to endure… front cover newspaper articles about her private life may be a distraction.
19-bionic71 (AUS)
Doesn’t just go for the big points but picks with his head – even if it may be 7 pointers in round one.
20-silverwhite (SIN)
We expected more of a breakthrough this time last year, should be encouraged to PAW more in the earlier rounds.
21-geegables (AUS)
Great form this year, but PAWing Vento-Kabchi in every of her matches may not be the wisest of decisions.
22-saab95 (RUS)
Had a bit of a collapse after an awesome Roland Garros start, should learn from that though.
23-AlexSydney (AUS)
Hasn’t really lived up to his ability in a Grand Slam yet.
24-Shi Hyun Ahn Fan (USA)
Top 10 in both Slams this year. Says that Grand Slams suit his PAWing style.
25-nitsansh (ISR)
One of the surprises this year and has kept up top form since winning Sydney. Sometimes does PAW the odd one though – “Weingartner over Zvonareva.”
26-kfh_9118 (INA)
Knows what it takes to be successful at Slams, after last year’s US Open.
27-kafelek (POL)
May be absent.
28-Sanazakaya (PAR)
Has pressure of defending a 7th spot, whilst live watching of PAW’s may be an asset, computer access is an issue.
29-V-lix (INA)
Is he still here?
30-Lee-Waters’ Boy (USA)
Always misses the early rounds for some reason. Nevertheless should do well.
31-~CANUCK~ (CAN)
Could have won the French Open had he not missed “Cornet over Jidkova.”
32-Zhao (SIN)
A bit quiet as of late but not the top Singaporean, so not all attention is on her.
Others to watch out for.
piomil (POL) – Acclaimed cocky by his peers but who said self confidence was a liability?
dab2035 (USA) – US young gun is talented.
wateva (SIN) – Always does well on grass.
LUXXXAS (POL) – Birmingham winner, perhaps the best Pole out of them all.
jrm (SLO) – Will be motivated to get that rank back up.
-RoddicksGame-(USA) - The name says it all, powerful play usually works.
Silas (NED) – Lead-up form is good, but we thought that too prior to Roland Garros.
LefandePatty (SUI) – The best player you have never heard of.
Pszczelny (POL) – Let’s hope the umpires can pronounce it right.
j_dementieva27 (USA) – A real darkhorse. Top 2 finish in his comeback tournament after being idle for one year. Dangerous floater.
Predictions:
SF:
13-rrfnpump (GER) def. 1-andrew_uk (GBR)
LUXXXAS (POL) def. 4-Pintaled (AUS)
F:
13-rrfnpump (GER) def. LUXXXAS (POL)
