Default Wimbledon (Tennis) Finalists pick?

Men’s Finalists: Federer Vs Djokovic.

Women’s Finalists: S. Halep Vs V. Asarenka.

Wild guesses from me for the Women’s finalist because there’s hardly a repeat Grand Slam winner. First round (yesterday) and former winners like Naomi Osaka and Osteopanko are knocked out already.

I think the Men's and Women's draw is wide open. I have this feeling that Novak and Fed won't make the final but I also have no idea who might beat them. The Women's Final could be decided by a random draw out of a hat. I don't know where to start guessing there.

Let’s see if your feeling comes through about Roger n Novak getting beaten.

Hmmm....where has all the tennis fans gone?

Make your predictions (or wild guesses)...just for the fun of it!

Men ... don't really care .. but Serena snubbed the new Women's world #1 ranked Ash Barty so I'd like them to meet in the final and Serena to lose.

Bit of Aussie pride in there too!

Haha! Interesting if it’s Barty vs Serena in the Finals. If that happens, most in AGF will be rooting for Serena for obvious reasons...

Enjoy watching Wimbledon ladies and gentlemen...

No tennis fans here? No one likes to or enjoy taking your pick on the Finalists for Wimbledon?

Maybe there should be prizes for those who pick the winners correctly? Tennis rackets or guitars? Where are the sponsors? LOL!

I'm not sure I follow here. How exactly does that compute. The final will be USA vs. The Netherlands. When you wrote this it was going to be USA and one other team. The final outcome will be decided by whoever scores the most goals. I'm going with the favorites - USA. If The Netherlands plays like they did yesterday it will be a blow out.

I don't follow the sport much, but like many others, I'm watching young Coco Gauff make history. You knowledgeable fans: Can she go all the way?

US female players are well represented and still in the running...Lauren Davis, Sloane Stephens, Serena Williams and the rising Star Coco Gauff.

For Coco Gauff to go all the way to the Finals....very very difficult....Winning the Finals....A Miracle...But miracles do happen!

Ilie Nastase and Mcenroe for the men

Chrissie and Martina for the women.

Oops, wrong decade!

What are you talking about?

This is tennis.

It’s down to these 4 ladies for the Semi-Finals. Take your pick?



For the Men’s Semi-Finals, it is.....

Federer vs Nadal

Djokovic vs Batista Agut

Take your pick? You have a 50% chance of getting it right even if you don’t follow tennis....
