The Other Pretenders to the Wimbledon Crown: Tommy Haas

We all know that the top 4 in the men's game (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray) are the virtual top tier favorites for this year's Wimbledon but it would be interesting to also check out the other guys who made it good this grass season and may have a chance to at least, break through the semi's or, surprise, surprise, win Wimbledon!  It has happened before! (Ivanisevic is the last one I can remember)

First on the list is this year's surprise winner at Halle, local boy Tommy Haas, even if Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were on the draw.  He only met Federer in the final and he mastered him in two sets.  Haas definitely had the weapons to win over Roger and when he's really in top form, he can pull of a win like what he did in Halle.  

I just hope he gets a decent draw so he can go deeper into the Wimbledon tournament.  He's one of my sentimental favorites!
