  1. Re: Wimbledon 2013

    Del Potro v Ramos - Under 31.5 Games @ Bet Victor - 1.91 This match features Juan Martin Del Potro ranked 8th in the world and Ramos Vinolas ranked 62nd in the world. Ramos is a very poor grass court player and the surface does not suit his game at all. In my opinion he doesn't move very well on it. Where as Del Potro has a decent record on grass winning 25 matches to just 12 loses. Del Potro has also reached the 4th round here on his last two occasions and has never got knocked out in the first round. Del Potro has also covered this handicap when playing in the first round at Wimbledon on 3 of his last 4 occasions. The one year he did not cover it was when he played no grass court tournaments in that year. Ramos's record on grass reads 1 win to 5 loses. His only win coming against the ageing James Blake. Ramos played Verdasco just under a week ago now, and Verdasco won with ease, only losing 4 games. In my opinion Del Potro is a much better grass court player as well. Whilst Del Potro has done well here recently, Ramos has never got past the first round here and I don't fancy his chances again today. Del Potro participated in the Olympics last year which was played at Wimbledon. He showed what a good grass court player he is, winning the gold medal after losing a close 3 setter to Federer in the semi's. He then went on to beat Djokovic to win the bronze medal. Del Potro has played in Queens and recorded two good wins against top grass courter Malisse and Englishman Dan Evans. Before losing in the quarter final to Lleyton Hewitt who is showing what a good grass courter he still is. Ramos is a big level below Del Potro in my opinion, Ramos is still paying in alot of challenger events where as Del Potro won his first major a couple of years ago!
    Another winner today, shows its good to be selective with your bets. That makes it 8/10 winners for the grass season!
  2. Re: Skittle's Big One. Dont think you can be held responsible for Nadal's loss really. Just one of those things I dont think anyone would of backed Darcis he has shown no signs that he can play that well even though Nadal was injured! Inplay tennis betting looks like it can be good!

  4. Re: Wimbledon 2013

    Big fan of Wimbledon and going to come back into the fray with all of these: - EVGENY DONSKOY +4.5 GAMES v John Isner @ 1.88 with 888sport Tough draw for big John here. He doesn't actually do that well on grass as he finds the low bounce difficult. Not going to be easy against a man who beat him in s'Hertogenbosch last week and didn't drop serve against him. Donskoy has a real chance here and shouldn't be on this high a plus. - DUSTIN BROWN +3.5 GAMES v Guillermo Garcia-Lopez @ 1.98 with 888sport Brown is a very unorthodox player. He slices a lot of shots and rushes the net. Tactic is most effective on grass and that's why he's worth a play on the plus here. GGL has beaten him before, but he's not reliable over five sets and is capable of mental collapses. Might squeak through, but qualifier is a nasty draw for him. - DAVID GOFFIN +7.5 GAMES v Jo-Wilfried Tsonga @ 1.92 with 888sport Goffin loves the big matches. Played very well against Nole in Paris last month and wasn't overawed. Hard to see JWT dominating. Goffin showed last year that he can play on grass and Tsonga isn't one to steamroller opponents often. Belgian kid more than capable of taking a set or keeping them all close. - EDOUARD ROGER-VASSELIN +5,5 GAMES v Ernests Gulbis @ 1.95 with 888sport Something tells me this will be tough for Ernie. On an outside court, away from the cameras ... he's ripe for a shock. ERV is a tricky chap on grass - likes to come in, put pressure on the opponent and he's a grafter. They played in Delray Beach final earlier this year and Ernie won, but this is R1 and not in the limelight. - ANDY MURRAY -7.5 GAMES v Benjamin Becker @ 1.92 with 888sport Expecting a big two weeks from Andy. He defeated Benni at Queen's a few weeks ago and it was tight, but on a bigger stage and over best-of-five, he'll get a handle on Becker's power and move him around the court better. Seems a low handicap on one of the favourites for the title. Should have a 6-2 in him somewhere. - TOMMY ROBREDO -5.5 GAMES v Alex Bogomolov Jnr @ 2.04 with 888sport (NAP) Daft line and daft price. These are two men going in different directions. Robredo is on a roll right now after QFs in Paris and is playing steady percentage tennis. He leads the H2H 2-0 against a man on the downswing, who dwells in low-end 250s and Challengers and is low on confidence. Should be routine. - UNDER 27.5 GAMES between Roger Federer and Victor Hanescu @ 2.00 with 888sport Can't see Rog, as defending champ, hang around here. Hanescu has a big serve and will need to be firing bombs, because he'll be annihilated in longer rallies. Can see Federer motoring away and Romanian is one of the guys on tour who won't fight if the match slips away from him. Expecting a 6-1 in here from Federer on his favourite court. - MARCOS BAGHDATIS +5.5 GAMES v Marin Cilic @ 2.04 with 888sport Baggy is in dire form, he's not won since Valentine's Day, but he's a dangerous boy in Slams because he rises to the occasion. Cilic has never really excelled at Wimbers and could be susceptible to a shotmaker like Baggy. Croat throws in quite a few 4/5 setters in Slams and I can see this being one of them. Despite his form, I wouldn't be surprised if the Cypriot wins here. - OVER 40.5 GAMES between Marinko Matosevic and Guillaume Rufin @ 1.90 with 888sport One of those matches that just screams overs. Two decent servers, two poor returners, with concentration and mentality issues. Rufin is flashy, Matosevic is like a Ford Focus - dull, but can get the job done. Matosevic has never won a R1 match in a Slam. This is his best chance to do so, but chances are it'll be a long affair. - NICOLAS ALMAGRO -8.5 GAMES v Jurgen Zopp @ 2.00 with 888sport Never been a big fan of Nico on grass, but Zopp's the perfect opponent. He's just here for the prize money. 2013 has been year of the injury for the Estonian and he's sorely lacking in match fitness. Can't see him being able to last with someone of Nico's calibre. Good luck whatever you play :hope
    Few decent picks in here mate! Took and quick glance and you seem to of had a decent day!

    Robredo -5 Games to beat Bogomolov - Pinnacle @ 1.9 This beat features Robredo ranked 29th in the world and Bogomolov ranked 81st in the world. Robredo is in great form reaching the quarter final of the French Open, before getting knocked out by eventual finalist David Ferrer. Bogomolov may be struggling for fitness after he retired in the Nottingham Challenger a couple of weeks ago. Bogomolov is a very poor grass court player winning just 17 matches to 23 loses. Robredo is marginally better winning 24 matches to 21 loses. Bogomolov is very much a challenger tour player these days and when he has tried to qualify for the bigger events he has failed on most occasions. This shows the difference in quality between these two, as Robredo is playing at the top level each week. Tommy Robredo has recorded some impressive victories already this year beating the likes of Almagro and Monfils on clay at the French Open. Aswell as winning in Casablanca, beating Paire Wawrinka and Anderson along the way. He also reached the Quarter final in Madrid beating Berdych and Dimitrov along the way. The head to head favours Robredo 2-0. On both occasions Robredo won 2-0 aswell as them being on Bogomolov's favourite surface of Hard court. Bogomolov tried to qualify for Eastbourne but lost in the second qualifying round, before just scraping past Pauffley (443) in 3 sets. Then he eventually lost to Dustov in straight sets. This should be a straight forward win for Robredo as he is the much better player in much better form.
    7/9 Winners for the Grass season now!

  7. Re: Wimbledon 2013 Serena Williams to win Wimbledon without losing a set - Youwin @ 9 This bet features the World Number one Serena Williams to win Wimbledon without losing a set. Serena Williams is in great form and has won her last 31 matches! This includes 23 wins to 0 loses on her least favourite surface clay! Williams is also a great grass court player she has won 76 matches to just 9 loses in here career. Williams has won Wimbledon 5 times and most recently last year, which shows how much she loves it here and I have no doubt in my mind that she will win it again. She is playing some of the best tennis of her Career now and can beat anyone even when she is not at her best in my opinion. She is massive favourite to win here, as low as 1.4 with Bet365 this shows how dominant she is in woman's tennis at the moment. Despite dropping a few sets when she won Wimbledon last year I still feel she can win the tournament without dropping a set. In 2010 and 2009 she went on to win Wimbledon and on both occasions she did not drop a set. This proves it is very possible. She also did this back in 2002, where she went on to win the tournament without dropping a set, including a 2-0 win over her sister in the final. In the first round she faces Minella, who has never won a grass court match so I don't expect her to drop a set here. Serena won the French Open very recently, and only dropped one set along the way, she beat Errani 6-0 6-1 in the semis before beating Sharapova in the final 6-4 6-4. It must be noted that clay is her worst surface and if she went all the way only losing one set then it is very possible she can go all the way not losing a set on grass. Williams is having a great season and looks to be getting better and better, she has lost just two games all season. These odds show real value as Serena Williams would of landed this bet 3 times whilst only entering Wimbledon 13 times and in the early stages of her career she was not as good as she is now. Serena has also only dropped 1 set in her last 14 matches, this includes straight set wins over Sharapova x2 and Azarenka, these two being her main competitors for this title. This really shows this bet has a better chance than the odds reflect!

    Malisse v Bautista-Agut - Malisse 2-0 @ Paddy Power - 1.83 This match features Malisse ranked 60th in the world and Bautista-Agut ranked 63rd in the world. I backed Malisse and he delivered (Just) Beating Lu 2 sets to 1. Lu is a decent player and a would of beat Bautista-Agut if he had got past Malisse in my opinion. Malisse also beat Ferrer in the first round in straight sets, this was a great win for Malisse over the world number 4. Bautista-Agut is a relatively inexperienced on grass, only playing 11 matches. He lost to the likes of J. Wang and Cipolla in the last two years, much worst players than Malisse. Malisse on the other hand is a very good grass court player winning 55 matches with just 28 loses. Malisse has also won 35 matches in the last 5 years to just 12 loses. Bautista-Agut has got to this round courtesy of a kind draw. He beat Bohli (#401) 2 sets to 1. Bohli has a poor grass court record of 15 wins to 18 loses and was a very weak opponent, im sure Malisse would of beat him with ease. Where as Bautista-Agut made hard work of this match winning both of his sets on tie breaks. He then faced Berlocq in the next round who again is a very poor grass court player. Berlocq has won just 4 matches to 13 loses on grass. So Bautista-Agut has yet to face a tough opponent and I think Malisse will be far to much for him. Malisse also has a great record here and will be fully focused on winning this event. He has played here on 4 occasions reaching the semi final 3 times and the quarter final once. I think he is bound to reach the semi final again and could be done in 2 sets. Before this tournament Bautista-Agut had only won 3 of his last 10 matches which shows he is in pretty poor form. I have no doubt that Malisse will win this match in straight sets today, Bautista-Agut's best surface is certainly not grass, where as Malisse is a very good grass court player.
    6/8!

  10. Re: June 17 - June 23 Like you tips Fader! I think Fognini is good value at those odds Hernych should win Wawrinka has looked poor so far but so has Chardy. Odds are good value again! Unsure on Donskoy v Mahut Also like your Safarova tip! I think youll have a good day tomorrow!
