Tuesday's NAP Back Rajeev Ram +3.5 games against John Isner @ 17/20 with Betfair & a first set tie-break @ 6/4 with Bet365. John Isner faces a tricky opening round opponent in the shape of 2009 champion Rajeev Ram. Ram has been performing well in challenger events of late, winning in Guadalajara and reaching the semi-finals in Manchester last month. The world number 161 also has recent form in doubles action, winning in Halle with partner Raven Klaasen last month. Rajeev is a previous winner and has a 13-7 record at Newport, thus shouldn’t be discounted. Ram +3.5 games on the handicap looks a great bet and is our NAP on Tuesday (17/20 with Betfair) John Isner’s eight matches on grass this calendar year have featured a first-set tie-breaker. That trend to continue in Newport is also worth an interest at 6/4 with Bet365. Full preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/atp-ne...ormer-champion

Wimbledon Women's Final NAP: Back Back Serena Williams to win in straight-sets @ 8/15 with Ladbrokes Muguruza has done tremendously well to reach the final at SW19. The world number 20 has already beaten four opponents ranked higher than her in the official WTA rankings, including Caroline Wozniacki and Timea Bacsinszky in straight-sets, before beating 2012 finalist Agnieszka Radwanska in the semis (6-2, 3-6, 6-3). Williams followed a third-round scare against Heather Watson with routine wins over sister Venus, Viktoria Azarenka and recorded her 17th straight victory over Maria Sharapova in the semi-finals to book her ticket in an eighth Wimbledon final, her first since winning the tournament three-years-ago. The pair have faced off against each other on three previous occasions, and while Williams narrowly leads the head-to-head between the duo (2-1), Muguruza has already scored a major upset against the world number one on the biggest stage, beating Williams in straight-sets (6-2, 6-2) in the second-round of the French Open last year. Muguruza has done tremendously well to reach the final at SW19, and will test Serena in the early exchanges, but Williams is simply too powerful and as unoriginal as it may be, we see nothing other than a straight-sets victory to Serena. Five of Williams’ six Wimbledon final victories have come in straight-sets, and another one on Saturday is attractively priced up at 8/15 with Ladbrokes and is our NAP of the day.

Monday's NAP at Wimbledon: Back Over 36.5 games in Andy Murray v Ivo Karlovic @ 17/20 with Betfair Murray is unbeaten against his Croatian opponent, winning all five of their previous encounters, including a four-setter at Wimbledon back in 2012. However, Karlovic has won at least a set in three of their five previous meetings, and of the 14 sets of tennis played between the pair, SEVEN of them have gone to a tie-breaker, and with Karlovic having already played six tie-breakers (from 13 sets of tennis) at Wimbledon thus far, you can bank on this having a high number of games, so over 36.5 games at 17/20 with Betfair looks the NAP of the day.

Today's NAP at Wimbledon: Back David Goffin to beat Marcos Baghdatis @ 8/15 with Ladbrokes Marcos Baghdatis is a former semi-finalist here, and has made an encouraging start to his grass-court campaign, beating the likes of David Ferrer on route to the semi-final at Nottingham before retiring due to a calf injury. It doesn’t appear as though the Cypriot has entirely shaken of that injury, and had to come from two-sets down to beat Australian John Millman on Wednesday, and looks vulnerable against the talented Belgian David Goffin. The 24-year-old has never made it past the third-round at Wimbledon, but has looked impressive on court this week, comfortably beating opening round opponents Horacio Zeballos and Britain’s Liam Broady in straight-sets (four of the six sets won have been 6-1). Baghdatis has the head-to-head advantage between the pair (3-0), and has already beaten Goffin twice this calendar year (Australian Open & Dubai), so it’s no surprise to see market support behind the Cypriot (7/4 with Boylesports), but the way Goffin has started this week suggests he’ll be too strong for a less than 100 percent Baghdatis, and is available at an attractive price of 8/15 with Ladbrokes (NAP).

Morning boys and girls!!! Today's OUTSIDER on day four of Wimbledon: Dustin Brown to win a set against Rafael Nadal @ 5/4 with Ladbrokes / First set tie-breaker @ 10/3 with SkyBet Rafael Nadal closes proceedings on day four of Wimbledon, and the struggling world number 10 faces a tough opponent in the form of German Dustin Brown, despite being ranked 92 places apart in the official ATP World Rankings. Brown beat the Spaniard in their only previous meeting, winning 6-4, 6-1 on grass at the Halle Open in 2014, and although it’s unlikely the German can beat Nadal over the best of five sets, he can certainly trouble the scoreboard. Nadal has surprisingly dropped a set in six out of his last seven matches played at Wimbledon, and the entertaining German looks a big price at 5/4 with Ladbrokes to win a set, while the first-set to feature a tie-breaker is also worth a small investment at 10/3 with SkyBet.

A nice value bet for DAY 1 at Wimbledon: Back Philipp Kohlschreiber to win a set against Novak Djokovic @ 2/1 with William Hill. Kohlschreiber has won at least one set in four of his seven previous encounters with Djokovic, and has won at least one set of tennis in ALL of his last 15 matches at Wimbledon, dating back to 2009. The German to win a set at 2/1 with William Hill looks the bet to be on in this one. For the rest of today's bets, check out our preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/wimble...mpion-djokovic

Back Viktor Troicki to beat John Isner @ 13/10 with Stan James. The Serbian has made an impressive start to the grass-court season, having already reached the final in Stuttgart last week and reaching his fourth quarter-final of the year at Queen’s, beating world number nine Marin Cilic in both tournaments. John Isner is ranked seven places higher than Troicki in the ATP standings, and has already beaten the Serbian in straight-sets in Monte Carlo this year, but it’s Troicki that shades the overall head-to-head record between the pair (3-2), so it’s slightly surprising he’s as big as 13/10 with Stan James, with Isner quoted at 4/5 with Ladbrokes. At those prices and the form he’s already shown on turf this month, we want to be with Troicki in this one.

Tuesday's NAP at Queen's - Back Stanislas Wawrinka to beat Nick Kyrgios @ 4/6 with Sportingbet. Recently crowned French Open champion, Stanislas Wawrinka takes to the court for the first time since his four-set triumph over Novak Djokovic in Paris nine-days ago. Wawrinka faces an opponent in Nick Kyrgios that could prove tricky, but we expect the young Australian to find ‘Stan The Man’ too tough to handle in his current vein of form, and a Wawrinka win at 4/6 with Sportingbet is the confident NAP of the day Full preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/atp-betting-preview-tuesday-s-best-punts-at-queen-s

Tuesday's OUTSIDER bet at Queen's - Back Thanasi Kokkinakis to beat Jeremy Chardy @ 19/10 with BetWay.

The Frenchman has also never made it past the first round at Queen’s on his two previous visits. Full preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/atp-betting-preview-tuesday-s-best-punts-at-queen-s
