The Other Pretenders to the Wimbledon Crown: Philipp Kohlschreiber



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)

Second on the list is another German, Philipp Kohlschreiber who demolished Rafael Nadal 63 64 in the quarterfinals at Halle.  You could say that Nadal may be tired from his French Open campaign and Kohlschreiber was fresh but still, a win is a win and Philipp took advantage of the situation.  However, he lost to fellow German, Tommy Haas in the semifinals.

Kohlschreiber should also go deeper in this year's Wimbledon if he gets a decent draw.
