Serena and Venus Williams will win the Wimbledon doubles title
Well… if Serena hadn’t gotten injured, I’d still have bet on them...
Nike will make yet another clothing "statement" similar to Roger Federer's white Nike Blazer in 2006
OK… Federer only added a white vest and trousers to the Nike blazer this year, but he wore the entire outfit to accept his trophy!
Rain will disrupt play... hah!But more in the second week than in the first...
It rained a ton the whole time, but the second week was a mess so we get points for this one!
The baseline will be more worn out on all courts before the area around the service line... what a change from 10 years ago!
The baseline rallies were incredible… even by the finals, the grass around the net area was still green!
Only half of the top eight seeds will reach the quarterfinals

A female chair umpire will officiate the Gentleman's Singles Final and a male chair umpire will officiate the Ladies' Singles Final
Tradition still reigned at Wimbledon this year… maybe next year?
Two of the Wimbledon finalists will have also reached the semifinals at the 2007 French Open
