The Other Pretenders to the Wimbledon Crown: Mikhail Youzhny




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)

The third man on the list is Mikhail Youzhny who surprisingly reached the semifinals also in Halle at the Gerry Weber Open.  He lost to Roger Federer though.  However, there were other players seeded higher than him in his side of the draw (Dolgopolov, Seppi) but Youzhny, a former top 10 player rose to the occasion.

He should also go deeper in Wimbledon if he gets a decent draw.
