Ready , Here goes :

Novaks got Florian Mayer. Should be straight sets to the number one seed.

Two Americans face off. Bobby Reynolds against Stevie Johnson. All I can say is good luck USA.

Ryan Harrison plays Jeremy Chardy . That should be a great match that can go either way.

Giles Simon plays Feliciano Lopez that’s a heartbreaker either way. Both guys give their all and both play with a great love and passion for the game. Berankis / mathieu might be a five setter.

Wang plays someone who shouldn’t be allowed to be playing. A guy that had epo in his bag……..

Tursunov vs Haas could be an awesome match. We know which Tommy will show up. It’s which Dimitri that’s the question ? A super talented guy who should have been in top ten.

Gasquet / Granollers. Probably going to be a packed court and a great 5 setter.

James Blake versus the tall Dutchman Thiemo de Bakker. That’s going to be a great match. We remember Blake versus another tall Dutch Wimby champ Richard Krajicek . That was a 5 setter for the record books.

Bernie Tomic plays Sam Querrey. Both young guys are number one in their countries. Interesting. Back in the day the number one Auzzie would be playing the number one American in a finals maybe a semi but not in a first round. That’s a wake up call.

Kevin Anderson plays Ollie Rochus. That’s definitely the long and the short of it. Kevin from RSA is one of the tallest guys on tour and Ollie from Belgium is the shortest.

Rafael Nadal faces Steve Darcis a bit of a conceited guy from Belgium. Rafa in straight sets. FYI. Fed and Rafa could meet in quarters ?

Stan the Man Wawrinka plays a former Wimby champ Lleyton Hewitt. You know that’s going to be a seriously intense battle of five sets with blood being scraped from Hewitts knuckles or knees.

Roger Federer plays Victor Hanescu. Should be an easy first round for R F against the man from Romania.

Jo – Willie Tsonga plays the amazingly talented David Goffin. Should be pretty play on the grass. Can’t wait. The battle of a heavy weight versus a light weight.

The magnificent Xavier Malisse will play Fernando Verdasco. We love that first round match up. The X Man is on fire and loves the lawns of Wimbledon

Andy I’m in a hurry Murray. In a hurry to win a Wimby. Plays German Ben Becker. Nice smooth first round match up.

There’s lots more first round match ups. Those just bounced out to me.
