is it way too early to pre preview hold hold on Wimbledon I don't think so so let's get to who's your favorite on both the men's and women's side to I'm gonna have to I can't I can't find my trophies right now yeah listen where's your Queens one because that's coming up soon that's way bigger than this side story when I won Queens they sent me the trophy it was in like 400 pieces I sent it back to get a new one they sent me another one it was also cracked so I have the queen Queen Trophy but it's cracked right now no yeah have to do something about that I mean it is large so I don't know but anyway way to avoid the question look it's too it's too early like we like we were predicting before the uh the French Open with the men like we didn't really there was like 12 guys we thought we could win the French Open and ultimately Carlos wanted but Wimbledon is even the grasp results are even a little more obscure so like you know look Carlos and CER are probably the two favorites I'm gonna go out of Limb and say it's going to be a ay I rank between like eight and 15 that's going to win Wimbledon this year I it just AG Grio demitro yeah a demitro you know uh Taylor Fritz can hit through the courts you know maybe Buck hits first serves the entire tournament never misses one like you just you just don't know on that men's side but um you know I at least we're gonna have a finalist I think that's kind of between that eight and 15 range in the rankings and on the women's side yeah like look IGA hasn't shown us what she can do on the grass yet if Sab L's locked in her balls are going to be she's I think we saw first round of the French Open her average forehand speed was like a you know 150 mil an hour if if those are dialed in at Wimbledon uh she's gonna be tough to beat um so I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Sabal Lanka on the girls side men's side I'm kind of saying it's open well okay well from my standpoint I think I'm gonna go not on a limb because she's won it before I'm going to go for rakina I think that she is sort of struggling a bit this year with injuries with sickness all the things and look you could say Sabal Lanka you could say an jaur who's played in the the finals the last two years You' certainly say eager but I think as far as comfortability on grass and the big serve if she's healthy I feel like rakina is the player to beat on grass so I'm G to pick Milena rakina and on the on the men's side I said before I think Sina is the favorite um but I have this weird I get these weird feelings Sam and I think that is going to win Wimbledon again and I think Novak might have something to say about that we forget about that guy who's won it seven times is he going to be able to play I don't know oh no he won't be able to play right because if it's a miniscus tear six weeks is minimum so yes you are correct thank you for reminding me of that um so I'm gonna say alarz and then I'm G to bookend the grand slams with sinner winning the US Open so I think sin's going to win the first and the last and Carlos is going to win the ones in between so I'm going to say Carlos andar you heard it here first everyone and as far as Sam is concerned you can pick anyone outside of alcarez or C yes look your French Open predictions were spot on so if you're listening out there go with Rene's predictions because she's uh she had a great a great French Open run
