Matt (or anyone who knows about tennis!)

Sorry for the post in the wrong place, needed to put it here so it could hopefully be seen, as otherwise I won't get a response before Federer starts as I'm at work early tomorrow! Feel free to move it in the morning! Just seen Bet365 offer odds on Federer and Roddick to win their first round games by more than 8 games (1.83 and 1.66 respectively). The double looks a great bet to be, with Bogdanovic and Yeu-Tzuoo Wang the opponents. Roddick beat Sanguinetti by 10 games last year in the first round. Federer managed a 7 match victory over HT Lee, which wouldn't be enough, but HT Lee is a better player than Bogdanovic IMO, who lost by 12 games to Sargisian at last years Wimbledon. I think this is Wangs first appearance at Wimbledon, and feel he will be duly spanked by Roddick. Any reasons why both players won't beat the handicap? Cheers!

Re: Matt (or anyone who knows about tennis!) jcaple, I was discussing with Matt earlier, about a bet at Hills, Bogdanovic to win less than 9.5 games...I'm taking that bet because Federer on centre court will destroy Bogdanovic, who is very poor. I'd expect something along the lines of 6-1 6-2 6-0. I don't know much about Roddick's opponent, but if Roddick turns up and plays well, he should smash his opponent off the court. :beer
