:ok:clapSloan Stephens to beat Andrea Petkovic 1.94 Pinnacle (8/10 Points) Watched Stephens against Hampton, Hampton didn't play badly, Sloan was just ruthless. Not only good depth, but there was an aggressive force behind her shots too. She's obviously been working on her approach, there's more aggression and it's paying off. It's a good thing, she is more than just a good athlete. Petkovic's worst surface has always been grass, easy decision. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013 lol, who saw that bs meltdown from Lucic? Screw women's tennis.

Re: Wimbledon 2013
Yeah, I can see Carla bowing out in an easy straight sets and moaning all match. Gulbis Tsonga I've gone overs first set, over 10.5 games and over 3.5 sets too. (When the odds were good)agree completly RuleBrit it was a bet I was going to go for lastnight but I didn't see the 2.25 offered as value. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013 Lucic to beat Suarez Navarro 2.43 Pinnacle (4/10 points) Lucic has heart, is composed, good when it most matters, serves big, did well here last season and plays good when the stage is big. Carla is every opposite to that and a complete headcase mug, she lacks a lot character to be a successful tennis player and has proven time after time she can't hack the big stage. This is the ultimate time of Lucic's season, with grass being one of her better surfaces and therefore she will have the will to win to eventually prevail.

Re: Wimbledon 2013
There are some excellent calls in here Fishy. You deserve a huge shout-out, no joke. You are very astute.Will add my insight into the first day of the tournament. Kyle Edmund vs Jerzy Janowicz- Tie Break in Match- 10/11 Coral- (4/10) Took this last night and the price has dropped but it's still a lot higher than it should be really. Janowicz possesses the big serve, whilst on return he's nothing special and getting beat by a guy ranked outside the top 200 in Halle is far from ideal preparation. Edmund will have the support behind him and he looks to cope with the pressure pretty well from what I've seen of him so far. Both have played a number of breakers recently and I expect one to occur at some point today. Tobias Kamke vs Julien Benneteau- Over 38.5 games- 5/6 Bet365- (4/10) These two met just a few weeks ago in Paris where they played out a 5 set marathon match, and in fact, 3 of their 4 meeting have gone the distance which leads me to think they will play out another close fought encounter today. Both are pretty solid so there's not too much between the two in actual fact so this one should have some legs on it and the overs looks pretty decent. Radek Stepanek vs Matt Reid- Over 36.5 games- 5/6 Bet365- (4/10) Line looks on the low side to me. I know the Aussie is ranked far lower of the two but he's worked incredibly hard to make the first round here, coming through some grueling qualifiers where he beat the likes of Devvarman and Smyczek who are decent enough players which should see him be right up for this game given the hard work. Stepanek is in decent form himself, but can be prone to some lapses in concentration which should give Reid chances. I just expect Reid to really battle today and if he pinches a set, the line should be fine. Fabio Fognini (-4.5 games) vs Jurgen Melzer- 5/6 Bet365- (3/10) This one could be a nightmare game to bet on considering both players nature here but no way can I be backing Melzer at the minute. I know he leads the H2H 2-0, but his form is non existent and lacks confidence at the minute. He only just about came through against Riccardo Ghedin in Halle before Gasquet creamed him completely. Although this isn't Fog's best surface, he got a couple of wins under his belt in Eastbourne and he beat the likes of Tomic and Llodra 12 months ago on the grass circuit so he can play. The Italian's form is far better and I expect him to come through this one. Adrian Ungur vs Benoit Paire- Over 30.5 games- 10/11 Bet365- (3/10) I don't know why this line is so low but I'm happy to go against Paire here. Despite his talent, he is still wildly inconsistent and although I expect him to be find, he retired against Llodra in his last match so there may be some worries on his mind. Ungur doesn't really venture much off the clay but he should have enough about him to not let Paire hit him off the court. Even if he fails to take a set, a couple of really close ones will see the line through anyway but there's no way I can have Paire this much of a favourite. Dustin Brown (+4.5 games) vs Guillermo Garcia-Lopez- 4/5 Stan James- (3/10) Brown is probably my favourite player to watch on the grass given his unorthodox style but he should cause problems to GGL. He hasn't done thus far on clay in their two meetings, but his big serve and net game should fare far better on the grass, so Garcia-Lopez will have to deal with it. If Brown continues to serve well, the Spaniard's mental state may just hamper him and he could well get frustrated. I don't expect the Spaniard to have this one all his own way like the previous 2 meetings so I'll back the German Jamaican to go well today. Mikhail Youzhny (-6.5 games) vs Robin Haase- 9/10 Stan James- (3/10) The Russian has won in straight sets everytime the two have played one another, and on grass Youzhny is far the better player. He made the final in Halle where he lost to Federer in 3 in the final, but he beat the likes of Nishikori, Kohlschreiber and Gasquet all pretty comfortably so he'll be high in confidence in a tournament where he has points to defend. Haase never convinces me whenever I see him play these days and on a grass court, I find it hard to make a case for him against Youzhny. Nicolas Almagro (-8.5 games) vs Jurgen Zopp- Evens Stan James- (3/10) Perfect draw for the Spaniard here. Zopp has only played 3 matches this season as he's had injury worries so he'll be here just to pick up the prize money you feel. In the last 2 games he's played, Robredo and Stebe have hammered him which shows where his tennis is at right now. Almagro hasn't played on grass yet this season, but this is a welcome opener for him. He may be finding his feet early one, but one of these sets should be really comfortably for him so the handicap looks decent on the Spaniard. Steve Darcis (+8.5 games) vs Rafael Nadal- 11/10 Stan James- (3/10) Think it's worth opposing Nadal in the first round here as he hasn't played on grass yet this season so he may take a game or so to adjust to conditions. Darcis is decent enough on the grass and actually beat Berdych at the Olympics last season and kept Wawrinka close last week so he should be okay to keep it close enough to Nadal here in the Spaniard's first game back on grass since that shock defeat to Rosol 12 months ago. Marcos Baghdatis vs Marin Cilic- Over 36.5 games- 4/5 Stan James- (3/10) Big contrast in form with these two but I still wouldn't be backing Cilic in the slams. Baghdatis even out of form is a dangerous player on the grass and usually raises his game for the slams whilst Cilic is still way too inconsistent for my liking. Could go all the way in my opinion but I think 4 sets is the minimum we will get so overs for me. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga vs David Goffin- Over 31.5 games- 10/11 Stan James- (3/10) There's been talk that the Frenchman has been struggling with a bit of illness so he might not be 100% for this one. Even if he was, he wasn't completely firing at Queen's anyway, dropping sets to Sijsling and Roger-Vasselin so Goffin should be able to go well today. He's pretty good on the grass as he showed 12 months ago where he made the third round here. He's lost his last 5 matches but we saw in Paris what he can do against the top players as he fought Djokovic so think he'll keep this close enough to cover the overs. Tommy Robredo vs Alex Bogomolov- Over 37.5 games- 9/10 Stan James- (3/10) I know on paper Robredo should win this comfortably as Bogomolov hasn't done anything of note for a good while but on grass, I actually think he could trouble Robredo. The Spaniard will just hang about in the rallies but doesn't possess a great deal of power which Bogomolov does to an extent so there could be some mileage in this one. In times gone by, Robredo has been a huge favourite but then been involved in some marathons in London so I think this could have some legs on it. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013
Tbh that's poor form, what's the point in rubbing in his loss? I'm sure it doesn't phase him, but still poor form.What were the odds. Btw, Fader :D -
Re: Wimbledon 2013
Not refering to the 20/1. I understand it's good to play the probabilities and I do agree that it is value but I simply cannot agree with any of those reasons Fader has put forward. If Nadal is to win Wimbledon, (which I agree he could), he is almost likely going to have to beat Novak, no question. Novak's draw is actually a cakewalk and it's "hopeful" to think he'll fall to anyone before the semi's. Haas has proven he can't withstand best of 5 setters, he doesn't have the fitness, remember the 2 sets to love lead he lost to Gulbis? He was fatiguing hugely losing the second set tie break to Novak at the French too and Lopez just wouldn't hack it from the back of the court against Novak. I agree with the selection, just not the reasons given and so had to voice my disagreemnt, sorry.It is always easy to argue that a 20/1 shot is not going to win. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013
So he never looked like losing and yet you just admit the match swung in Nadal's favour because of this individual incident? Had he smashed that into the ground instead of patting it over the net, Novak would have had game point for a 5-3 lead. (Leaving him a single game away from losing, 4 points)He touched the net? ... he lost the point. Matches always have swings in ascendancy. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013
I think it's worth remembering when you weigh up all these head to head statistics and past matches that it has only been since 2011 where Djokovic became the player he is today. I vastly disagree with all the points and for me you've kinda cherry picked the statistics to bring out to suit your case, there's somany others stats we could look at, more relevant, that would tell you different. We all know Djokovic brings a different level of intensity and standard to his grandslam matches, he's not the consumate professional, he may have played Monte Carlo despite his injury but that was a title he had began the year setting out to win.Sure, What is the current head-2-head record of Nadal Vs Djokovic? Nadal 20-15. Djokovic is the king on grass though, you say. What is the current head-2-head record of Nadal Vs Djokovic, on the grass? Nadal 2-1! Yes, Djokovic got close to Nadal in the French Open but I don't personally think Nadal ever looked like losing. One set he won 6-1 and it could of easily been 3-1 in that match with the tie-breaker. Nadal won Wimbledon in 2010 and Djokovic won it in 2011. 2012 Nadal was plagued with injuries so I'm not going to take 2012 into the discussion. They haven't played on grass since 2011 and like I say Nadal leads the grass head-2-head 2-1 so I hardly think you can say Djokovic is vastly superior. In terms of what you say about the grand slams. You will always have the main players near the end of a tournament but it's not guaranteed. 2010 had lots of players whom were not in the main 4. There were players outside the top 4 in 2011 too... 2012 was infact the only year I can find where it was mainly top 4 in semi's. 2010 Australian Open - Djokovic & Nadal both out in QF and Cilic[14] and Tsonga [10] get into Semi-finals. 2010 Wimbledon Open - Berdych [12] gets to a semi-final and beats Djokovic in year Nadal wins. 2010 US Open - Youzhny [12] makes semi-final 2010 French Open - Berdych [15] makes a semi-final along with Melzer [22] 2011 Wimbledon Open - Tsonga [12] reaches a semi-final I've already stated in my preview why I think either of these 2 have the quality to reach a semi-final but I'll go over it in abit more detail for you. Haas got to the semi-final of Halle where he lost 2-1 to Federer. This has been his first grass event but on the clay he has also got to the QF of the French where he pushed Djokovic close won ATP Munich. He also got to a semi-final in an ATP event in Florida where along the way he beat Djokovic in straight sets 6-2 / 6-4. He has the ability to push Djokovic. Lopez has won 9 of his last 10 matches and in his first 2 grass events of the year he has got to the last 16 of one of those and won the other. He has beat players in good form along the way and anyone with a 9/10 record going into Wimbledon is going to be buoyed on to go above the level of their competence. In 90% of cases of slams you will see in QFs a Haas or a Lopez so why is it against the realms of possibility that one of these cannot beat Djokovic if they have in the past? for all we know Djokovic could even be carrying a niggle or may get injured. At the end of the day I'm not telling you to bet on my picks. It's a tip and a tip can be ignored. I've picked the winner of the last 3 tennis tournaments [Kanepi/Nadal/Lopez] so I'm happy either way.
Halle's grass courts are different from the more modern day grassocurts used everywhere else, the grass courts used at wimbledon virtually play like a medium pace hardcourt, only that the ball skids off the surface after contact. So Haas was able to rely a lot on his serve against Roger in Halle, serve and quick fire one two punches, as well as exposing the Federer single hander. Even though we should never be ever reading into a little best of 3 sets win at a masters series Djokovic has already won.... “All the credit to him,†Djokovic said. “He played a great match and he was the better player, no question about it. The results show everything. As far as I’m concerned, it’s definitely the worst match I have played in a long time.†Source - http://www.tennis-x.com/xblog/2013-03-27/11991.php You can catch Djokovic cold, unprepared and complacent in a best of 3 sets in a masters event may be, but can you do that in a grandslam? Feliciano Lopez? 9/10 on grass against substandard opposition. Lopez's strength and depdency is his serve and Novak being the best returner the game has ever seen would just neutralise that weapon immediately and take away what make pretty boy so effective on the surface. Lopez's weakness is also his return, I couldn't possibly see him troubling Novak on serve, he can't work with a backhand, mainly slice, Djokovic would slaughter him.Haas got to the semi-final of Halle where he lost 2-1 to Federer. This has been his first grass event but on the clay he has also got to the QF of the French where he pushed Djokovic close won ATP Munich. He also got to a semi-final in an ATP event in Florida where along the way he beat Djokovic in straight sets 6-2 / 6-4. He has the ability to push Djokovic. Lopez has won 9 of his last 10 matches and in his first 2 grass events of the year he has got to the last 16 of one of those and won the other.

Novak was in the ascendency and would have held and closed it out. Massive, huge turning point. All Novak had to do was smash the ball into the ground and he chose for a dropper. lol Ofcourse you never really believe Nadal's going to lose at the French, he's only ever lost there once. So we are blinkered into believing he's never going to lose, even when he is on the brink of doing so. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013
He has no issues with the Nadal game the way others do. Nadal's game on clay centers around really attacking the backhand of an opponent, but the two player's who have the two best backhands in men's tennis have caused him problems, one has beaten him and one has pushed him close. Novak Djokovic and Ernest Gulbis. On grass he (Nadal) is made to try other things different, but Nadal's strength, reverse forehand cross court goes directly striaght into Novak's strength, his backhand. Djokovic more than enjoys taking the ball out of the air at a good height and flattening it out with the backhand. It's definitely fair to say, Djokovic has no issues with Rafa's game on any surface other than clay. He beat Rafa in the final here in 2011 and it certainly seems to me as though Rafa feels anything he gets outside of clay, considering his knee issues, would be a bonus. That said, he is a bad matchup for Federer, always has been, we all know why, his reverse whipped forehand cross court goes into Federer backhand. Often Roger gets frustrated and runs around the backhand onto his forehand but then leaves the other court exposed to a Nadal counter, if Rafa correctly reads where Roger goes with that forehand. It's pretty much why Federer is as far out as 10/1. He has to go through Nadal, Murray and Djokovic to win the title. I reckon Nadal will beat him, if they both get to the quarters, but I agree with you in that Djokovic has the beating of Nadal outside of clay.The way I see it..... look how close Djokovic was to Nadal on clay. The match was a draw effectively. If Djokovic is that close to Nadal on the surface on which Nadal is so awesome' date= then I'm fairly confident Djokovic is significantly better than Nadal on the other surfaces. Also, the quarter odds aren't crazy at all. If you look at Grand Slams in recent years, the semi-finals are nearly always very close to what you'd expect pre-tournament and I can't think of anyone outside the 'Big 8' who has made a Grand Slam semi-final in a long time. So odds of 20/1 and 80/1 on players like Haas and Lopez doing so, particularly when in the same quarter as Djokovic, seem absolutely spot-on, or even a bit skinny. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013 Hey, you never know. You may end up being right and Baggy may continue his dysmal run, but from what I saw of him against Gulbis in Halle.... I reckon Cilic is gonna have his work cut out.
-
Re: Wimbledon 2013
I agree Cilic should win, Baggy's form has been off and there is only so much you can look at the past and put the trust in him to come good, but to suggest he is going to be straight setted by Cilic at Wimbledon? I think it's a bit irrational, but that's just my opinion. Lot's of people are being blinkered by Cilic's run at Queens, suddenly he's immediately being deemed as a big player.

I disagree, immensley. Good luck however. -
Re: Wimbledon 2013
That's just superficial thinking. Who cares? You think Baggy cared? Berlocq isn't a mug, he hasn't got the game for grass though. It was Baggy's birthday. Look, Baggy may well lose in 5 or 4 sets, but these odds are a drastic over-reaction to Cilic's little run at Queens, where he should have lost to Feliciano Lopez. Back Baggy on betfair and trade out when he takes a lead.Baghdatis just lost to a mug this week just gone on grass though........... ! -
Re: Wimbledon 2013 Marcus Baghdatis to beat Marin Cilic 5.54 Pinnacle (2/10 points) Toomany people act within the present, without regarding the all important past, the all important pass suggests and states Marcus is a considerably better player than he is letting on atm, I watched him against Gulbis and he played with an element of controlled aggression. He's a player that has had some monumentic clashes in grandslams over the years, highly popular and highly talented when his head is in the right frame of mind. Cilic, away from his serve isn't much of a challenge if a player is inspired and producing quality tennis, he is extremely immobile and that doesn't help for the pressure moments. Player's withouta s great movement tend to be more prone to choking, the player's with movement, less so, because they have their movement they know they can fall back on. Baggy tanked it against Berlocq because it was his birthday, every Wimbledon Baggy does well, he's taken sets of quite some star names. Baggy's forehand up against the Croation's, leaves only one winner. We all know Marcus's wonder tennis in slams. Big displays against Djokovic, Murray and co. He's no mug. It's also likely this match will be played on either center on court 1, which leaves more opportunity for the crowd to play a part. He has a huge fan base, followed and unfollowed, people take to him easy. Attractive style of play and an endearing and charismatic oncourt person, whereas Cilic's one dimensional and very reserved on-court demoner draws no support. Don't allow Marcus's inability on clay fool you on this one Marcus Baghdatis vs Marin Cilic Over 36 games 1.79 Pinnacle (6/10 points)

Re: June 17 - June 23 Agreed on Seppi, Simon can't play in the wind.

Re: June 17 - June 23
I know he doesn't show it now but you do realise, or remember Tomic at the Quarter Finals of Wimbledon, taking the first set off Djokovic, in the year Djokovic won? He has said himself that grass is his best surface. Never-the-less, he's playing rubbish atm.Bernard Tomic vs Gilles Simon over 22.5 games 8/11 paddy power this is going to be a battle between two players who are not playing on their best surface so expect quite a few breaks of serve -
Re: June 17 - June 23 Unquestionably he will be.

Re: June 17 - June 23
Scoreboard. Vasselin was so many times 40-15 break point and Lu come back everytime. He has looked a strong grass player last year. I backed Vasselin in his round 1 game because he hasn't done much on clay but it's obvious he has something on the grass courts' date=' hence the back on this match. Long way to go yet though.[/quote'] True, I do think the scoreboard involves making a lot of assumptions though. Never-the-less, his record on grass is brilliant and he deals with the low bounce so well. I am gonna ride him for a bit. -
Re: June 17 - June 23 Lu, takes the first set, but can I ask Fader and Dominus a question? If you wouldn't mind that is Czech? Lu vs Vaseline wasn't streamed, so are you going on the scoreboard?
