LONDON -- Wimbledon's a funny one: although it's one of those sports events where pretty much anything can happen, it's also the type of tournament at which the same things happen again and again.
We've put together a list of 16 Wimbledon cliches to keep an eye out for over the two-week competition.
1. Someone will get on the wrong side of Rafa Nadal's backhand
2. Novak Djokovic will do one of this trademark, groin-stretchingly impossible returns to win a key point
3. Andy Murray will angrily chastise the sole of his shoe by battering it with his racket
4. Serena Williams will nearly knock someone over with her epic serve
5. Someone will shout "Come on, Tim" at Murray
6. The camera will cut to Kim Sears shouting something and everyone will desperately try to work out if she's swearing again
7. Someone will make a comment about Nadal's awesomely large left bicep
8. A cameraman will grow bored and we'll start seeing random shots of pigeons mixed in with the tennis
9. A ball boy or girl will fall over
10. And another ball boy or girl will do something unexpectedly awesome
11. Someone will lose their cool
12. Murray will unveil an exciting new range of facial expressions
13. Roger Federer will do an insanely impressive trick shot
14. And just generally make everything look effortless
15. There will be plenty of tension-building, celebrity audience shots.
16. And, for some, wild excitement when the final result comes in.
