Milos Raonic +175
Marin Cilic -140
We haven't had a favorite outside of the top 5 win a major in quite a few years. At 70-1 what are your thoughts on Raonic making a deep run at Wimbledon? With his serve and volley game on this fast surface he could roll into the quarters and hedging out would be profitable. I wouldn't hesitate to let it ride if he gets there.
Yes, I actually backed Bagdaddy against Melzer for a small amount. But I'm fading him in the final.
Tips going for his first ever ATP title (I know, a bit shocking). He's having his best season on tour, while Bagdaddy has been very inconsistent. He's on an upswing at the moment, though.
Tips won their last match (July 2011). He'll mentally break through and win the baseline battle.
Janko Tipsarevic -150
Motivation a factor here and Youzhny not having the best year. Prior to his recent Davis Cup victories, he lost in the first round @ Montreal, Cinci, and U.S. Open. Also, during his lengthy (5 hours) DC match against Bellucci, Youzhny re-injured his back, and had to pull out of the Malaysian Open.
And last year here in Beijing, Youzhny lost in the first round to Luby, while Almagro gave Soderling a good match. Almagro currently ranked 11th and you can bet he's trying to breakthrough into the top 10. I'll take the Spaniard over the Russian.
Nicolas Almagro -105
Tips won his first ever ATP title a couple of days ago. Tips partied like it was 1999, and wasn't afraid to say so. Nadal is on his side of the bracket, and is last year's Champ. Tips won't bother playing here-- nothing to defend.
Dmitry Tursunov +290 over J. Tipsarevic
