James Blake preps for a successful run at Wimbledon.

James Blake preps for a successful run at Wimbledon.
After announcing he'd be resting for a majority of the European clay court season up until the French Open, Blake announces his desires to go past the third round at Wimbledon
James Blake announced he'd be recovering from a knee injury and would sit out most of the European clay court season that the rest of the tour is on now despite recent events in Iceland that are preventing air travel.

Blake is now 30 years old, and ranked 52nd in the world, just a few years ago he was number 4! He has confirmed he'll be playing in the AEGON international tournament the week prior to the Championships.

What do you guys think? Are Blake's best playing days behind him? Is he beating on a dead horse? Should he retire and become a coach?


Or do you like that even though he's overcome so much he refuses to quit and pursue his dreams playing the sport he loves so much?

As much as I like Blake and respect his career, at his age and with his current injuries, I just don't see him ever being a threat for major titles again. Now if he wants to continue playing and be content hanging around the top 50 or so is another question. An example of this right now is Lleyton Hewitt who found a way back into the top 20 after hip surgery. Now I don't think Hewitt is ever going to win another Slam either, but he certainly shows he has a lot more fight left. If Blake has that fire is very TBD.
