You see this picture?  The one right above this text?  That's the picture of the 2008 Wimbledon Champion.  That's right, I'm making a prediction right now that Rafael Nadal is going to win the 2008 Wimbledon Championships.  No less than the great Bjorn Borg himself made that same prediction at the end of the French Open, right after Rafa had won his fourth in convincing fashion, and since Bjorn and I are just like this, I'm going on record today with my own prediction.

Rafa's made no secret of how much he wants to win Wimbledon and reportedly was crushed after losing that five set final to Roger Federer last year.  Today however, he beat Novak Djokovic to win the first grass court championship of his career, the Artois Championship, 7-6 (7-5), 7-5.  This after beating defending champion Andy Roddick 7-5, 6-4 yesterday in the semis.

I'm thinking Rafa's now ready to whip some Federer butt on Wimbledon grass and this is the year he's gonna do it.  Put money on it:  Rafa and Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon final and Rafa in four sets.
