Every year I predict who will win the
Wimbledon men's single title at the All -
England Club and every y ear I ant Wrung.
In fact, the only year 1 picked Sweden's
Bjorn Borg, who won a record five straight
titles, to win he lost to John "the brat"
MacEnroe.
The two-week tounament began Monday
with 19 -year-old West German Boris
Becker trying to win his third straight
championship. If he wins, Becker wiiuld
be the first to win the grass court tourna-
ti)ent three times as a teenager...
I hate to jinx his chances, but I am going
to pick Becker to win. 1 will also give a
short run down of the players who are
capable .of beating Becker, one of when)
probably will, to keep my streak alive.
I have been playing tennis most of my
life and I understand the fundamelitals of
the game. I have, watched Wimbledon
every year since 1969 and I believe I have a
feel for what it takes to win.
Wimbledon is•the most prestigious and •
coveted grass court championship and one
•of the oldest, celebrating its 101st anniver-
sary. The natural grass surface, however,
means that the ball stays low. there are oc-
casional bad bounces and the grass can be
slippery and treacherous: The trick is to
get the point over,with quickly by blasting
a hard first serve and running to the net to
put away the first volley.
Becker, while only 19, is over six feet tall
and ,nearly 200 pounds. possesses an a(.' -
curate cannon -like serve and is willing to
dive and sacrifice his body to put the volley
away, The picture of Becker, both knees
scrapped and his shorts bloodied, holding
up the championship trophy has bei'ome •
,very familiar. ,
At this point, before I run down the list of
contenders, I should say something about
I the 'women's draw. Usually, it is a
f' •foregone conclusion that either Martina
Navratalova or Chris Evert 1 she divorced
husband John Lloyd 1 would win
Wimbledon or any other tournament for.
that.matter. Navratalova has yet to win a
tounament this year and her string of win-
ning 611 straight grass 'court matches came
to an end last week when she lost tu.Helena
Sukova of Czechoslovakia at Eastbourne.
She is still the favourite and is expected to
win her record sixth straight title, however
her confidence level has dropped and she
can be beat. I yam picking Martina to win,'
and if she does, don't be too surprised if
she retires at the end of the year.
Ivan Lendl is the world's -'number -ant=
ranked player and the tournament's
number two seed. I.endl also has a power-
ful serve and hits the ball harder they any;
- ' player in the world. However, he is not a
natural'grass court player and is not a pro-
ficient volleyer. He is playing great ten-
nis, after coming back from an .early-
season injury to win the French ()pen on
clay and he is capable of overpowering any
player.
• The two Swedes, Mats Wilandc'r and
Stefan Edberg, seeded third and fourth',
respectivley, are considered top. c'i)n-
tenders. I feel they lack a big serve, the
most important shot at Wimbledon. Both
players have won on grass at the
Australian Open. •
Because the serve is so important. it is
difficult to predict who will be hot, and who
will be cold. Two player's, 'in recent.
memory, 'have made' it to the finals
primarily on the strength of then. serve.
Roscoe Tanner used his 1.40 MPH hoWit'r,er
to earn the right to lose to Borg and South
African Kevin Curran aced both Jimmy
Connors and MacEnroe over ,20 times to
reach the final, where.he lost to Becker.
