2005?

This is officially a dangerous flirtation with a jinx, but this Wimbledon has an odd throwback feel where it sort of seems like 2005. Roger moves smoothly through the draw. He dispatches various challenges with grace and aplomb (his instinctive block returns to break Ivo today were gorgeous). Meanwhile there is much ado about what goes on in other matches, but whatever the draw funnels toward Roger simply melts away when it confronts his game.

Maybe its the absense of Rafa? Anyway, a final with Murray would be genuinely unique and a little scary. Haas is playing great tennis and has nothing to lose. Jinx deactivated.
