A blockbuster slate of men's matches is on tap for Day 9. Whereas the Australian and US Opens both split the men's quarters over four sessions, Wimbledon does them all at once. It's frustrating in that it's impossible to see all the matches in full, but its awesome in that it's a great day to binge on tennis.
Whereas yesterday's women's actions looked sure to be surprise-less (and weren't), this day of men's matches looks far more primed for upsets. Federer and Nadal, especially, will have their hands full.

Ok...
I seriously hope it’s not going to be another day of silence on this open thread.

As a long-time Tomas Berdych bandwagon occupant...
I’m glad that my Wimbledon prediction is going well. Now I need Soderling to fight back against Nadal for a Berdych-Soderling final.
Federer falls
Not THAT surprising considering it was Berdych, but I’m always surprised when he loses early at Wimby. Lets go Soderling & Berdych final (although I’ll settle for Tsonga too).
Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
murray is going to be tough
but I think nadal wins his second wimbledon over djokovic
