Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Nadal to win: It's Nadal's year to complete the French -Wimbeldon double. No one can play with the kid right now, he turns it on whenever he wants now. Proved against Djokovic hes just got too much talent and heart right now to lose. Also helps that Djokovic is on Federers side of the draw. Only real competitor for Nadal on his half of the draw would be a healed Andy Roddick and even that is questionable. Federer and Djoker will beat each other up in the Semi-Finals and Nadal will slay the winner in 3 or 4 sets!

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July FERRERO @ 1.98 Pinnacle. Ferrero looks a decent price to me. He hasn’t played since the French where he had a leg injury in the first and that’s a concern, but really it’s the only concern for me. He’s very good on grass (surprisingly) and has a solid record at Wimbledon. He’s 17-7 at Wimbledon and he’s done especially well the last few years, as he’s fallen from the top of the game Wimbledon appears one of the places he still plays well. In the last 3 years he’s lost to Federer twice and Stepanek 11-9 in the fifth and has reached at least the third round in 6 of his 7 visits. Querrey has a poor 2-6 record on grass, but looks to be improving and lost at Nottingham in the second round in two breakers to Karlovic. He’s the type of big server you’d instantly say would be good on grass, however, you need good movement on grass too and in that department he could struggle like a Ljubicic or Safin. Don’t rate his on grass yet, and Ferrero should have too much class.

KARANUSIC @ 1.5 Blue Sq. Karanusic is a far better fast court player here and should be comfortable. He was decent at Queens winning a round then pushing Djokovic a bit. Horna is 0-5 on grass and whilst he’s had a couple of tough draws it’s still a bad record. He’s also had a calf problem throughout the clay season and pulled out of the doubles in Warsaw a couple of weeks ago.

BOLELLI @ 1.8 Sportingbet. Everyone knows I like Bolelli and this looks to be a nice chance to back him. Let’s face it, Bogdanovic is crap and one decent performance against Roddick at Queens last year isn’t enough to back him here. He’s 0-6 at Wimbledon and in those matches you can see his problems. He ran Nadal close, played well for 2 sets against Federer but was battered by Kim and Sargsian. Throw the Roddick match in there and you can see he can step up against the big players, because he knows he isn’t going to win but when there’s any pressure on he crumbles. Expect more of the same tomorrow. Bolelli has an average record on grass and hasn’t done too well in the lead up tournaments, but I like him and he’s really stepped up this year. Solid fav.

GONZALEZ @ 1.41 Pinnacle. Gonzalez should take this down. He won this match up at the French a few weeks ago and twice on grass last year to take the H2H to 4-1. He’s very good on grass and the last few years has been solid at Wimbledon reaching at least the third round every year since 2004. He had ‘issues’ at Queens against Karlovic but he’s the type to come out after that and play very well. Ginepri has been playing well lately, at the French and pushing Roddick for a set at Wimbledon, but I just don’t fancy him here. Gonzo in 3 or 4.

SELA @ 2.57 Pinnacle. Willing to side with Sela as a dog in what I think is a 50/50 contest. Rochus I thought was finding his form again earlier this year however he seems to have slipped again. He’s struggling with his serve again and over 5 sets I think he could crumble. Sela has been struggling too, but has played OK in defeats to Troicki at Queens and Seppi in Nottingham which was a match he really should have won. I think he’s going to be more solid than Rochus here and I’m willing to side with him at a decent price.

NISHIKORI @ 3.00 Betfair. Niskikori looks a very nice price, but take it with a bookie that voids on retirements as he is prone to surrender during matches! Nishikori has broken through in a big way this year, and has shown he can play a bit on grass with a very strong performance against Nadal. He had already beaten Falla and Patience at Queens before the Nadal then qualified for Nottingham before having to pull out against Johansson. He looks to have a very good game for grass and I think this price looks really big. Gicquel made the final of Hertogenbosch but the grass courts over there are very different and before that his record on grass was quite poor. Definitely willing to side with the Japanese player here.

KOHLSCHREIBER @ 1.83 Sportingbet. Kohlschreiber played really well in Halle reaching the final and should come here in decent form. Verdasco too did very well in Nottingham, but he was up-and-down in that tournament and put in a massive effort against Karlovic in that match. With that effort you could see how much it meant to him at the end, also having to play that match indoors and then come play here on the Monday it could be too much for him mentally (we have seen him implode before!). Both players who cane be very effective on grass and coming in with good form, with much more favourable scheduling and a 2-0 H2H I have to side with Kohlschreiber.

ONDRASKORA @ 5.00 Boylesports. Really simple, just taking a shot against Vaidisova here. She’s been awful since falling apart against Ivanovic in Dubai, losing in the first round in 6 out of 7 tournaments. She did get a couple of wins in Eastbourne, but then completely fell apart against Mattek. Something is clearly wrong in her head, or maybe Stepanek has ‘broken her’. Don’t know anything about Ondraskora (even had to check the spelling) but she came through qualifying so should be confident and this is a big opportunity against her fellow Czech.

SOUTH @ 5.60 Boylesports. Taking another shot here going against Alona. She’s done well in the two grass court lead up tournaments but the match against Chakvetadze was appalling and no idea how she came through there. She’s got a knee injury and is having surgery after Wimbledon so after quite a few matches the past two weeks she could be looking towards that. South showed a lot of potential in Birmingham getting good wins over Bammer and Nakamura before going down to Wickmayer where she played pretty well. Not too good in Eastbourne but at least that gives her more time to prepare for this one. She has a good game, a few problems you can see which are stopping her really getting up in the ranking but tomorrow I think she has a chance. Probably quite late on court 18 this should be good!

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Looks like there are a few very even matches. I will have a look through and post later properly, but I just wanted to ask, does anyone know if they actually make a coupon for the 1st round in-shop and if so what bookies that is. Thanks.

[Tulenos]

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July BOL, MrI - where did you check the spelling, though?;) It's Ondraskova, no such ending as -ora in Czech surnames:) BTW, even Vaidisova's coach stated two days ago that Nicole will get her game together - some time in the future - but he can't see when for the time being. Vaidisova simply has to be opposed here;)

Never seen one in-shop mate.

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July

Not much, she usually features in qualies and this is the first one that actually got her through to the main draw. The Czech chances are rather with Kvitova;) Stepanek is injured, btw.

Not really, excecpt perhaps Djokovic. To be honest I don't like anything in the outright markets, I guess all the shrewd money went on Nadal a while back then got lucky with the draw;)

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Hi guys, 4 bets for the 1st round of Wimbledon: WIMBLEDON ANDERSON TO D CALLERI @ 1.7 at pinnacle Anderson is 2 meters tall player with great serve and good results on fast surfaces this year. He already defeated Calleri in Miami on hard courts and he must be a favorite to win on grass against a clay court specialist. CHARDY TO D GIL @ 1.51 at stanjames Those odds seem somewhat strange. Chardy defeated Gil (who is the most typical clay court player) just 2 weeks ago on clay at Roland Garros by 6:3 6:2 7:6. On grass court his advantage must be even bigger with his all around game and good net play. FALLA TO D HANESCU @ 1.51 at expekt Falla is a good attacking player with good serve and solid Wimbledon results. Hanescu is out-of-form and has trouble playing with his long swings on grass. CLEMENT TO D BJORKMAN @ 1.67 at pinnacle Bjorkman already announced retirement plans and is having a series of 1st round losses. Clement had a good grass court tournament in Holland last week and has a win over Bjorkman in Nottingham last year.

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Im slightly confused by the Chris Eaton price tomorrow against Boris Pashanski. Its hard enough trying to get the 2nd Brit (Bogdanovic) furthur than the 1st round, so im not to confident of that chances of the 10th best British man doing well. Added with the fact he is young and inexpierienced I think his debut at Wimbledon may end in defeat at the hands of the Serbian who I think should be a much better player than him, despite a string of bad recent results. It alot to ask for him to win, but he seems to be favourite and that is the only thing really putting me off backing his opponent. But I'm still going for it. Pashanski @ 2.62 Other leans are Tanasugarn @ 1.61 who has had a good run up to the Championships by winning the grass court event in Holland. She came through 7 matches beating some good grass court players, the only thing which I think maybe a disadvantage is that she did play so much tennis last week and that she may be a little fatigued. Young @ 1.98 - I think Donald Young can convert his good junior performance last year when he lifted the title to a good run here maybe to the 2nd or 3rd round. He is more than capable of beating Jesse Levine who has been playing many lower ranked matches and may struggle with a step up against Young who has been playing against bigger and better players which can only be a positive thing. Almagro @ 1.40 looks good as well even though he looks best suited to Clay, I think his good backhand and serve will serve him well against another Clay court specialist Marcel Granollers. Also I think he is approaching the top 10 and will want to sustain this by picking up a few good wins on different surfaces so he can really be seen as a threat to the higher ranked players.

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July hi guys , i'm willing to back Chardy , Gasquet and Gulbis for today . Any opinions for them ? :unsure

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July erakovic - krajicek? any toughts

[Mr Intensity]

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Too tired, I'll look into the matches tomorrow:sad Tigris: I like all of those:ok Stipe: I'm not sure. Looks like a clear play on Erakovic after the form shes shown on the grass. However, Krajicek played very well here last year and after an awful run she's started to get a few wins. One to leave alone IMO.

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Guys, there is a website here in Australia which I'm pretty sure is quite new that you might want to check out Their tennis guys have been going quite well and they have a 6/7 run heading into Wimbledon I'll be keeping an eye on them. EDIT: Links to tipping sites not allowed.

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July just a small plus yesterday. not the best of days. hope today is better. first i'll take makarova. i just trust her on grass. strugled a bit in birmingham but did very well in first to rounds of eastbourne. Kudryavtseva had some unjury problems earlier this year, and last 4 tournaments lost in first rounds. lost to bammer, and to o'brien on grass in 3 sets but i feel makarova should do it easier. 2:0 1.90. i'm waiting to see what kind of handicap i'll get. if it is -4.5 i'll take that rather than straight sets. mathieu should do it under 28.5, hernandez is just crap on fast surfaces. check this out - Rezults from 2003. 1-12 hard, 1-4 indoor, 0-1 carpet, 0-4 grass. lost 21 match and only took 2 sets in them. mathieu a solid player, not the best on grass but should be good enough here. 3:0 1.40, but i'll take under 28.5 and i'll probably take first sets over 10 in mahut-tursunov, and gulbis-isner matches. just can't see many breaks here. good luck all

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Tennis - Wimbledon Nicolas Mahut - Dmitry Tursunov Pick: 1 Unit 2.00 @ Bet365 24 June Match between Dmitry Tursunov (nº33) and Nicolas Mahut (nº58 world-wide) for the first round of the emblematic Wimbledon tournament, that is considered by lots of people the best of the modality. Both players have a positive performance in grass, what it makes to foresee a match sufficiently balanced and disputed. Tursunov has 21 victories and 12 defeats in this type of surface and Mahut was successful for 19 times, having lost in 11 occasions. During this season Tursdunov it has been better that Mahut, what if reflecte in the classification in ranking world-wide of both. In the last year Mahut got an interesting register in grass, however in Wimbledon where all the best ones are, it did not pass of second round, and Tursunov reached the 3ª phase of the test. Dmitry Tursunov has demonstrated to be better that Mahut, because he already got 4 ATP titles, one of them this year, and Mahut never won a ATP title, what it demonstrates that Tursunov is a player with bigger quality, what it could be determinative in a game that it foresees sufficiently balanced. Our choice, hangs for the side of the Russian for the reasons already pointed and the superior value from odd with respect to the victory of Tursunov.

[Mr Intensity]

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Haven't got time for proper write ups.... CLEMENT @ 1.66 totesport. Nice H2H including on grass last year. Reasonable form coming in while Bjorkman has been struggling a bit (but tough draws at Queens and Nottingham). Clement just looks to be in slightly better shape but this should be a good one. GIL @ 3.52 Pinnacle. Chardy has shown nothing on grass so no idea how he's such a massive fav here. Yeah he beat Gil at the French but that was on clay at home where he was really pumped up. Gil has played well on clay since then and some through qualifying here so he has to be worth a shot. GULBIS -5 games @ 2.16 Pinnacle. Doesn't look like Isner likes grass, despite his monster serve. He lost his serve several times against Mahut and Stepanek, and I can see Gulbis doing a job on him here. Gulbis in the form of his life and should be comfortable. I'll look into the later matches, later;)

[heniek31]

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Melzer @2.44. Didnt he beat Ljuba in 3 set last year? He's former junior champ at Wimbledon too. Ljubicic showed nothing this year. 2.44 looks good enough to me.

[Mr Intensity]

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July That was 2005 mate, good luck with Melzer:ok

[Mr Intensity]

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July VAN DER MERWE @ 2.20 Will Hill. Like the price here as Pinnacle go 2.10. Merwe is a former college player, he serves and volleys most of the time and did very well coming through qualifying beating Pless and Niemeyer. Garcia Lopez is definately a confidence player and recently it doesn't look like he has much. TURSUNOV @ 1.83 Will Hill. Tursunov lost his head at Nottingham but I'm looking for a better performance from him here. Mahut doesn't looked in great form, gettig spanked by Nalbandian and losing to Reybolds on grass. He's the type of guy who needs to be razor sharp to play well and maybe he was expecting too much on grass after his form last year and isn't able to reach that level. Think he'll struggle with Tursunovs raw power, we all saw what the Russian could do with Henman at the net. Tursunov should like this match up and get it done.
