2/1 Nadal
11/5 Federer
7/2 Djokovic
11/2 Murray
Murray should be 20/1 imo (based on his woeful record of choking in GS events).
Federer is still capable of brilliance but, at 30 in a few weeks, and seemingly incapable of sustaining it in a big match against Nadal I'll swerve him. I don't trust Djokovic on grass at all.
So punting Nadal at 2/1 outright, won't be disappointed if Fed wins for a swansong, will puke heartily if Murray does it."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Staying away from the Big 4, i like Del Potro @33/1 and a sneaky 5er on Hewitt @250/1 just for a small sweat
Wozniacki @12s for the wimmins
I've gone for Isner at 140 and Hantcuchova 44 Pavlyuchenkova at 55, hopefully will be able to trade them out.

One to watch is certainly young Milos Raonic. If he plays his best tennis he could serve Nadal off the court. At 150s he will be a solid bet.
If Federer doesn't have to play Nadal he will stroll to the victory. So many banana skins on the way for Nadal that I like the look of Fed for the win. Even if he runs into Nadal, if he plays as well as he did in the French he should have the beating of Rafael Arms on the grass.
Fed v Murray final.
Wozniacki to add to her junior crown in the women's lolorama.

Originally posted by The Hurricane View PostHave you seen the draw, deserving favourite. A lot of the shrewd judges and tipsters are predicting a Fed win
Nadal has won 4 of the last 5 GS, he's won the last two wimbledon's he's played in.
Fed is not the player he was, he can still string together a set of brilliance but the unforced errors vs Nadal kill him
I am going to march down to Hills this afternoon and back Nadal at 5/2 but will do it with you if you will facilitate me instead."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I haven't been following much tennis over the last while so not 100% of people's form etc, but from quickly looking through the first round, would i be buring money backing any of these
LLodra underpriced @ 4/9 v James Ward
Robredo @ 11/8 v Lu, Yen-Hsun
Davydenko @ 11/8 v Tomic
Blake capable of an upset @ 27/10 v Baghdatis
Stepanek @ 11/8 v Verdasco if Verdasco doesn't turn up

Other pics seem like solid 50/50 chances.

Going with a British accumulator today ...
Keothavong, Anne
Baltacha, Elena
Watson, Heather
Ward, James
The women trio have ok matches and should come through them.
Ward has a tough one against Llodra however he did beat both Querrey and Wawrinka before losing a close one in the semis to Tsonga 6-3, 7-6 (9-7) last week. Llodra is known for his service mainly and is getting on at 31 now. The 5/2 you can get is enough for me here.

Davydenko hates grass but is an ok bet at 11/8.
Avoid Blake till he proves he's still got it.
Verdasco is unpredictable so 11/8 is probably decent.

All this talk of Fed being past it is a load of old pony. He will undoubtedly make the business end as he does in every grand slam. If Fed's past it then think how every single player outside the top 4 who loses to him week on week must feel. You'd swear they were all disabled the way people talk about Fed these days.Looking for full or part time poker and betting writers. PM if interested.

Robredo 2 sets down to Lu, Davydenko 1 set and 4-1 down and Stepanek won the first 2 sets, lost the next 2 and it's 4-4 in the 5th. I suck!
