Impossible this year although he change another coach again recently.
He's hot and good looking but it doesn't mean that he can win.
The first challenage for him is facing Agassi in Round 3

Andy Roddick is not only a highly lopsided tennis player with a Big Serve and no backhand or volley, but he's also an arrogant jerk.
It would give me great pleasure to see him lose on a surface (the grass at Wimbledon) that highly favors Big Servers like him.
What Andy sorely needs to do is to take a page out of Roger Federer's book. Roger has an all-court game with great variety, and has worked equally on all of tennis' many strokes.
Andy, on the other hand, is nothing but a one-trick pony! The sooner he leaves tennis, the soooner we'll have more enjoyable tennis to watch.

Jeff, I'm sorry man but your post struck a nerve with me. (not angry or anything, so don't get me wrong, not trying to start an arguement) I will admit that he overuses that backhand slice. I cannot agree with you about the volleys though. He is starting to volley more & more. It's true, his volleys aren't that great but they are quickly improving.
Roddick is starting to play like he did when he won the U.S. Open, agressive. The two biggest changes I've noticed on him are his second serve and footwork. His second serve now has a super nasty kick that I honestly don't remember seeing before. As for his footwork, I remember nights of screaming "RODDICK! ARE YOU FREAKIN' RETARDED! MOVE BACK TO THE MIDDLE GENIUS!!" as he stood on the left side of the court and watched a ball zip in the right corner time after time. Now, although he still stays a bit to the left, he is starting to get back to the middle. His technique now seems to be to rip his forehead (which I'd do if I was him too), prepare a low slice, which he can hit well, and then come up to net for the winner. He is definitely in a period of rapid change.
As for Nadal, I feel about him like Jeff does for Roddick. All I can say for Nadal is that he hits some wicked spin. But in all honestly, I'm surprised he is still playing in Wimbledon.

I don't think he will, and I don't want him to. He seems like he's a nice enough guy, but ESPN shows him entirely too much and uses P-Mac (who's incredibly biased) as a commentator on Roddick's matches all the time. I get sick of trying to watch Wimbledon (or other tennis) and seeing only Roddick.

I want Andy Roddick to win because he's my favorite tennis player but I think Nadal is going to take it this year.

I want him to win, yes!
But I'm afraid I don't think he'll win ...
Well, to put it simply ... you have Federer and Nadal, who is surprisingly playing just as well on grass court.
If Roddick's consistent and plays really well ... he might win!
Go Roddick ...
I like Federer, but he's had too many wins ... hehe ...

I will like Federer or Nadal to win. I think that it will be great if they can play each other in the final match. Then Federer will have a chance to win against Nadal.

Nope, I can think of better people that deserve to win; Federer or Nadal!
