Grass Court Thoughts
In the blink of an eye, the clay court season is over, and it's time to play on grass; which totally changes the list of favorites, underdogs and unsung heros. My gut is telling me that American tennis will make a strong run during the brief grass court season, with Andy Roddick leading the charge, followed by James Blake and Sam Querrey. They all have big/flat games which seem to be suited well for the surface, and with the exception of Roddick, they need to break out of nasty slumps. Also, players such as Marcos Baghdatis and Ivo Karlovic could find new life after rough clay schedules.
I'll be back at NBCSports.com to preview the Wimbledon Women's and Men's events, so stay tuned for more video.
If you live in New England or get Direct TV, but sure to watch my NESN, New England Sports Network "World Tennis" TV show tomorrow (June 13th), it airs at 1:30PM and 4PM EST. GO TENNIS.
