Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

[KingRevolver]

Feel free to add your own picks and predictions.

I think the most interesting 1st round match is a re-match of last year's first round match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut. These two big servers battled it out for 11 hours, 5 minutes, which is the longest match in tennis history. Rightfully so, Isner, who's improved his footwork and return, is a 2-to-1 favorite in Tuesday's match.

Semis Prediction

Andy Murray vs. Tomas Berdych

Novak Djokovic vs. Roger Federer

I then see a Murray-Djokovic Final. As far as Nadal goes, he has the toughest draw, and he's not in top form.

Radek Stepanek +140 over Fernando Verdasco

The tricky Stepanek has been playing good tennis leading up to Wimbledon. The dangerous and experienced Czech is a good returner with a variety of shots. And Verdasco lost in the first round last year to clay-court speciliat Fabio Fognini. That tells you how far he's declined.

Took Bogey at Betfair 2.75 down a break, not getting off on serve, looking to eat more maybe

Let's keep this thread alive through Sunday, July 3.

One request from this corner: let's grade/document the winners and losers.

 

[KingRevolver]

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Tough matches, Try. I think your best chance would be Beck over Roddick because of his recent shoulder injury. (Although, he played well last week, before being stomped on by Murray) There hasn't been much said about Roddick this year. I can't see Ferrer or Tsonga losing their first round matches.

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

John Isner -190 over Nicolas Mahut

John Isner has shown improvements in his game, and the booming serve will get him out of any trouble. I'd be very surprised to see him lose in this spot.

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Following those Revolver. Let's roll in the tourney. :houra

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Kei Nishikori -105 over Lleyton Hewitt

"The former world No.1 (Hewitt) was forced to retire mid-match at the warm-up event in Eastbourne on Tuesday because of the stabbing pain in his foot despite taking painkillers pre-match."

No thank you. Fade.

 

[KingRevolver]

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Bernard Tomic -160 over Nikolay Davydenko

Davydenko is 7-9 @ Wimbledon

He hates playing on grass. And Tomic's game is better suited for grass.

Did well with favorites, but had some bad luck with the first two dogs on the list. Stepanek and De Schepper both blew their matches. Both of them were up 2-0 sets in their matches, and somehow went on to lose. Amazing.

 

[KingRevolver]

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

I'm going over some of the matches, and not exactly thrilled by any of them- time to look at totals.

 

[diogee]

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Those two nice dogs blowing it sucked. Wasn't happy when I checked the score to see Schep blew it as well.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

I know this is an imposition, but could we have some sort of documented update on results here?

Or are we just going to throw out names?

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Yeah, two shots to the stomach. It would've been a very good day if they could've closed out their matches. Oh well.

Fair enough. Only down a unit after today.

How long is this tournament?

Re: Wimbledon Plays and Predictions

Well, King, TV Wimbledon starts at 4 in the morning in Las Vegas. I have it on, but I'm doing other stuff.

Betting on these early round third worlders is crazy. They are plucked to play from nowhere.

Good luck.

I didn't like anything today, and I don't like to force plays.
