[vc_empty_space height="15px"]It’d be nice if there were a grass-court “season.” I know the ATP brass have been mumbling about setting up a Masters on turf, which I need badly. If grass took up some space in the calendar, instead of feeling like an injury-recovery purgatory sandwiched between two Slams, it might be more interesting to make form- and surface-specific Wimbledon predictions. But let’s just throw this notion out there and see how it looks on the screen: Wimbledon will see a first-time champ on both tours. Hmm. That looks fine, actually. It helps that we can at least rule out several of the usual suspects.
