Women's Wimbledon Preview Predictions 2009

Wimbledon opens this year on June 22 and lasts for 13 days until July 5^th. The question on everyone's mind has to be if one of the Williams sisters, Venus or Serena pull off another win? And if not, will some low-seeded pro pull off a surprise win? Viewers can visit the official website to track progress and see interesting facts like the speed of serves or watch it at 7pm EST or 11pm on NBC or ESPN in the US or TSN in Canada.

What does it take to Win a Women's Single Tennis Title at Wimbledon?

My experience playing competitive tennis showed me where the weaknesses in a player's game lie. The ability to serve ace after ace on the serve saves a lot of wear and tear on the body and often is the reason for a win. The ability to return a hard serve can beat an opponent. If you can control the play, placing your returns exactly, you win. The rest comes down to your fitness the day of the match; injuries, too much weight, too many matches, illnesses, recent defeats all can undermine a pro's ability to compete. In short, anyone can win.

Top Seeded Women's Professional Tennis Players are matched up for the first round by officials with the lower seeded Women's Professional Tennis Players, with winners advancing to the next round of play. The Wimbledon title belongs to whoever makes it all the way to the last match and wins.

How do the Top Ten Seeded Women Tennis Players for Wimbledon 2009 Stand?

(#2 Seed) Serena Williams looks ready to repeat last year's performance and in prime condition. But she faces nine others in the top ten that are seasoned professional tennis stars that know how the game is played, especially since she won the Australian Open, and (#5 Seed) Svetlana Kuznetsova win at Roland Garros may have fueled her desire to win at Wimbledon.

From my knothole, (#1 Seed) Dinara Safina, (#3 Seed) Venus Williams, and (#5 Seed) Svetlana Kuznetsova's weight is up enough to make a difference in their speed of attack and their endurance during volleys, same applies a bit to (#4) Elena Dementieva and to (#10 Seed Nadia Petrova), too. If the weather is hot, they'll have to work hard. Could be they are conditioning hard now and will be fit and trim come June 22. That might not be a problem at Wimbledon.

This leaves the field open for (#6 Seed) Jelena Jankovic, (#7 Seed) Vera Zvonareva, and (#8 Seed) Victoria Azarenka room to maneuver their way to a win.

(#1 Seed) Dinara Safina, (#4 Seed) Elena Dementieva and (#7 Seed Vera Zvonareva) are only entered in the Women's Singles at Wimbledon, a fact that might give them an edge over the tennis players playing both singles and doubles.

Newcomer (#9 Seed) Caroline Wozniacki as the youngest in the pack may be a surprise winner. She doesn't have as much experience at 19 years of age, turning professional in 2005, but she has the agility and endurance of youth.
