Nadal: Federer the favourite
Andy Murray’s serene progress to the French Open quarter-finals has not persuaded deposed champion Rafael Nadal the British number one is ready to lift the Roland Garros crown.
There will be a new name on the trophy this year following Nadal’s shock defeat by Sweden’s Robin Soderling in the fourth round, leaving the door ajar for Murray.
But the Spaniard believes there are other candidates more likely to be his successor, saying; “(Roger) Federer is the favourite, in my opinion. That would be great. He’s tried to win it for many years and he was very unfortunate to lose three finals and one semi-final (all to Nadal).”
He added: “If one guy deserves it, it’s him. There is also (Nikolay) Davydenko. (Juan Martin) Del Potro is there I think. We will see.”
Murray’s name was conspicuous by its absence but the Scot certainly has a great chance now.
The third seed set up a quarter-final meeting with Chile’s Fernando Gonzalez thanks to Sunday’s straight-sets win over Marin Cilic.
Gonzalez, the 12th seed, earned his place in the last eight by hitting 50 winners in a 6-2 6-4 6-2 victory over beleaguered 30th seed Victor Hanescu.
Murray became the third British man, after Roger Taylor in 1973 and Tim Henman in 2004, to reach this stage at Roland Garros.
“Every time you do something like that, it’s nice,” said Murray. Tim obviously made the semis here so it would nice to try and match that. I always felt I could play well on clay.”
Hewitt to join Nadal at Queen’s
Four-time champion Lleyton Hewitt and former world number one Marat Safin are among the latest players to confirm they will play at Queen’s Club in June.
They will join world number one Rafael Nadal, Britain’s Andy Murray, and four-time champion Andy Roddick at the Aegon Championships from 8-14 June.
Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in last year’s final before going on to win his first Wimbledon title. Nadal arrived in London last year on the back of his fourth successive French Open title and swiftly made the transition to grass, becoming the first player ever to win at Roland Garros, Queen’s Club and Wimbledon in the same year.

Wimbledon 2008 Champions
The 122nd Championships came to the most magnificent of conclusions in near-darkness on Centre Court as Spain’s Rafael Nadal brought the five-time champion Roger Federer crashing to earth in the longest, and quite possibly the finest, men’s final in the history of The All England Club.
It was the 22-year-old Nadal, rather than Federer, who fell prone on the turf as flash bulbs went off in the gloom, in joyous celebration of capturing the title he has always said means more to him than any other. Nadal is only the second Spaniard, after Manolo Santana in 1966, to become Wimbledon’s Gentlemen’s Singles Champion, and it was fitting that Santana should witness this historic occasion from the Royal Box.
For instance, the sun shone throughout the women’s final on the previous day in the third contest between the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, in the past seven years. Serena had won in 2002 and 2003 but this time Venus was the victor, and deservedly so. The defending champion clocked up her fifth Wimbledon victory of the century – five in nine years, a truly marvelous accomplishment, which she emphasised in her 7-5, 6-4 win by shattering the Wimbledon women’s speed record with a serve of 129mph.
