Nadal out of Wimbledon

As the sporting calendar hots up this month, what a way to start!
Wimbledon 2009 will have a new champion, and with Andy Murray in the different half of the draw to Roger Federer, as much as I think Murray will not win a Wimbledon singles title, I can’t help thinking that maybe this year’s going to be his best chance?
Murray is an excellent hard court player, where he can add spin to his shots and force errors from his opponent, but on grass, it’s a harder, faster, game, where the serve and volley players triumph more often than not.
I am not fooled by Nadal’s victory last year, a serve and volley player will beat a power player who stays at the back of the court, around 95% of the time.
But who stands out amongst this years entrants?
