Wimbledon is better. You'd never hear annoying babies crying on central court while Wimbledon is on.
Lets just say I better like how Wimbledon is organized and how people who do it care about every little detail.

None of these results makes me happy. I don't care that they won.

BQ: Grass really had different color. On the main courts, around the base line and some other place, grass wasn't there even after first day.
BQ1: Murray had chance at Dubai and Wimbledon. I don't think anyone did. They always played against each other in semis.
BQ2: I hope he doesn't. He might be happy that he won gold and do not so good.
BQ3: Venus will be too old to play singles, maybe even doubles. They might play if they still be in form, and none of them injured.

I preferred Wimbledon without any doubt. First of all in terms of results who made me really happy unlike the Olympics. And also because Wimbledon is my favorite Grand Slam, and GS's are more important to players since they play for their personal satisfaction. Playing for your country is great though but people will rather remember how many Slams a player won than his results at the Olympics.

BQ: The grass was a great surface, although I preferred the color it had during Wimbledon.

BQ1: No I don't think so, they just keep beating each other (Nole beat Roger in Roland Garros, Roger beat Nole in Wimbledon, Nole beat Roger in US Open 2011). Only Nadal beat Roger in Aussie Open 2012. Last time Fed was beaten by somewhere else was Wimby 2011 by Tsonga.

BQ2: I think Nole or Roger will win, but he may have a chance. He just gained more confidence.

BQ3: No Venus will be too old by then.

Wimbledon. It's a Slam and it's way more important in the tennis world, the MOST important. Serena won her 1st GS title after a life-threatening injury and proved so many people who said she never would. I was so happy. Olympics was just a bonus, an addition as another great result when she completed her Career Golden Slam and played one of the best tournaments of her life. Also, Novak's disappointment was far smaller in Wimbledon. Seeing Noly cry TWICE at the Olympics was really tough for me as a fan.

BQ: The grass was relatively solid. It was definitely faster at the Olympics.
BQ1: I don't think so.
BQ2: He's a favorite along with Federer definitely.
BQ3: No, since it can't be 4 in a row. Serena skipped in 2004.

Wimbledon. It's always an amazing tournament, with all those traditions and everything. It just has that special atmosphere. :)
This year's Wimbledon and Olympics weren't too happy for me tho. Anyways, Rafa losing early is still better than him not playing at all. :(

BQ: It was good I guess, but looked different at the Olympics. :)
BQ1: Not that I know of.
BQ2: I think he has a good chance. :)
BQ3: I don't know. It's possible, but it's still very far. Who knows what will happen in these four years. :)

Wimbledon was much better for women obviously, but for men olympics result was good.

BQ: Good.
BQ1: Can't remember but they're usually on same side of draw andplay each other in semis so prob not.
BQ2: Quite good, Djokovic favourite though.
BQ3: Doubt it. Venus will prob be gone by then.
