Wimbledon 2014

Just had my 1st bet at this years champs. I'm struggling to see why Isner is 150/1. He's in Nadal's and Federer's 1/2 of the draw. Neither are guaranteed to go deep. Isner's serve is a weapon of mass destruction against the weaker players. - 58 aces so far, and only two double faults. That's the equivilant of nearly 15 games out of the 40 he's won in 6 sets... So 75/1 to reach the final is good enough for me.

Federes figures must be similar, maybe not aces but unreturned !
He's eased through and will destroy Isner in any point that lasts long than 3 shots.

75 -1 does seem big mind. GL

Dimitrov Federer final for me.  Changing of the guard.

Better shout than me. For the 1000th time, if I fancy something keep schtum, it might then come in.

I think it looks pretty certain now that Roger's slam record will not be beaten.

I really think Dimitrov will be the big star for the next 8-10 years, and will win 10+ slams himself, would be nice for him to beat Federer, the same way Federer beat Sampras all them years ago.

Would obviously be over the moon if Federer won though, one of the greatest sportsman ever !


Federer -5.5 games handicap looks big today .    11/4  

Obviously tiebreaks expected, but fancy Federers block return to do the business, espeically since Raonic never serve volleys.
Famcy a couple of breaks from the great man.

Who did Isner go out to? Hard to say really if 150/1 was ever a good bet just because it was always going to be so unlikely - serving alone cannot win you a wimbledon because the players at the top defend so well - so one bad service game and that's a break lost. And if you can't pressure the opponents serve, that one bad service game is going to be your downfall.

I was a bit unlucky as technically he lost to the eventual winner. Lopez beat him, who lost to Warinka, who in turn lost to Federer, well we all know who he lost to.....
