Nah, I don't think he has what he needs to compete with the big guns at the All-England club....

 

here's an article on what he thinks of his chances:

 

NADAL'S OUT TO GRASS

RAFA WRITES OFF HIS CHANCES

Katie Scott

 

RAFAEL NADAL, the French Open champion and man of the moment in tennis, has played down his chances of winning Wimbledon this year.

 

The 19-year-old Spaniard, dubbed the King of Clay after becoming the first debutant since Mats Wilander in 1982 to win the Parisian Grand Slam event, believes the Wimbledon crown is far from his grasp.

 

Indeed, his first-round exit to German wild card Alexander Waske at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle last week would suggest that grass remains a nemesis for him.

 

But, having reached the third round in 2003 and the semi-finals of the Juniors in 2002, Nadal is quick to point out that he is not of the "grass is for cows" mentality.

 

He says: "I am excited about going to Wimbledon. I like playing on grass a lot; it's not my best surface but I want to play well there. My aim is to go there and learn so that one day I can do something big at Wimbledon.

 

"I am certainly not a favourite, that's for sure. Of course I would like to win it one day. But to do well there every year I have to improve a lot of things."

YESSSSSSSSSS! Henman lost... I hate that f***ing British bastard... Oh yeah, and Nadal lost... too bad, I really like the kid. Yeah, but pretty much all week this is all I have been watching. The Henman match today was pretty much the best one. 2-2 in sets, and I forget the guys last name, but his first was Dimitri, but he was up 5-4 with double match point in the 5th, and Henman came back and won. But then at 6-6 Dimitri broke him and won the 14th game. Sick match.

Safin lost. Not surprised. Roddick almost lost too. That Bracchiali guy was pretty good, crazy serve.

[YanksHater213]

Roddick vs. Johansson, Federer vs. Hewitt in the semis. All signs point to another Roddick vs. Federer final.

[YanksHater213]

Venus won in 3 sets yesterday.

 

Roddick is down 6-2, 7-6 right now in a rain delay... unless he comes back out firing, hes pretty much done. Federer is making it look just too easy.

[YanksHater213]

Yup, Federer took the final set 6-4. He is just so damn good on grass.

So damn good period. I wouldn't want to face that guy, even if I was wearing a full complement of body armor.

[YanksHater213]

You should, he almost killed Roddick. I think it was the last point, or maybe the 2nd to last, but he absolutely rifled this forehand right at him. It might have been the hardest non-serve of the match.
