Well. You got Henman wrong. Sherwood wrong. Goodall wrong.

Any others??

Henman right

My view
Timid Tim will go out without a whimper in the QF to someone good like Roddick although Roddick is on schedule to play the 6ft 10" Croat Karlovic in the 2nd round, could be a shock there as he's not seeded, I think Tim could meet Federer in the semis if he makes it through. Form player Karlovic out in 1R, a shock after he made the final at Queens and won the Den Bosch open last week
English Greg is still my favorite British player, how can you not like anyone with such a wicked grin. Looking at the draw Greg's only main problem could be a 2nd Round meeting with Johansson, who beat both Murray and Henman at Queens but he's a bit inconsistant, but then, frustratingly, so is Greg. The draw is quite kind to him with only the 8th/21st and 31st seeds in there to the QF where he could meet Federer, Gregs due a good Wimbledon, I'm going to stick my neck out and say he'll make the QF. He He, you'll love this - WRONG JOHANSSON, there is two, one is the 11th seed and the other the 12th, I was basing this on the 12th seed.
The new kid on the block Andrew Murray should get past his first round tie and then could possibly meet 14th seed Stepanek who beat and lost to Rudeski in the run up at Queens and Nottingham. This kid is the real deal and won't join the long list of failed next british hopefuls, I predict 3rd round in his debut Wimbledon. Still think he could have enough to beat the 14th seed, got to stick your neck out sometimes
The other brits, Joshua Goodall who I believe is a 17yr old from Harpenden plays world 92 Alessio Di Mauro, winnable but whether he does of not is another matter, he's meant to be pretty good so I'll give him the benifit and he'll make the 2nd round.
Jamie Delgado has been knocking about and failing miserably for years, he'll lose in the 1st round to 23rd seed Ferrero. Correct
Alan Mackin will also lose to 21st seed Gondzalez in R1 Correct
Alex Bogdanovic could get past Kevin Kim but probably won't Correct
Can't see David Sherwood getting past Ricardo Mello Wrong
To be honest you can't really look fast Federer for the tournment but if you were looking for a little outsider, go for 27th seed French teenager Richard Gasquet who won Nottingham last week. Federer in 3rd Round and Gasguet in 2R
