    Start with mens title

    RAFAEL NADAL 8/1

    No doubt grass not ideal for him but draw give him great hope of going far as with doubts over Murray if on top form be hard to beat on grass but that a big if back to form.Look at draw for Rafa and i say none of them in his quarter but a in form Murray would beat him.Rafa has decent form on grass last few years lost to Muller last year but won a Mercedes cup in Germany.

    NICK KYRGIOS 18/1

    In terms of talent can win here blow the big names off the court but all about upstairs with him he took Federer to 3sets in Germany and a loss to Cilic so no shame in those defeats.Draw for him not ideal with Isotmin up first with a 3rd round match vs Nishikori with Zverev 4th round then maybe Djokovic in QF before semi final to to Nadal

    LUCAS POUILE 200/1

    Was my ante post bet for here in my sports bet thread and while not won a title this year he done ok got to semi final at Mercedes cup which he won last year been to Quarter finals here and US open so has got talent to make a impact has a tricky opener with Dennis Kudla but win it then should get Raonic in 3rd while be tough big server from Canada had injury problems.Cilic and Dimitrov could wait after that but this guy is good enough go far here.

    In the womens

    MADISON KEYS 25/1

    Was my ante post bet here in sports bets thread she loves grass and when you think was able to get to french open semi finals on the clay that a fine effort by her when you think not ideal surface for her.Back on faster terrain and grass she can perform even better in this slam.A match with Tomianjovic is not ideal be tough opening match but get past her.3rd round could get Rybarikova who got to last 4 here last year and a fine grass court player be hard while Svitolina could be lurking to with Wozniacki in QF i think she can end her run of being a slam maiden here.

    ASHLEIGH BARTY 40/1

    Last 2 bets are in same quarter and reason on both as could not split them up first is this aussie who a fiesty player she beat Konta in recent grass court final and has talent to go far here over next 2weeks 2nd match could be vs Bouchard and 3rd round may be Kasatkina but can past both of them.While Muguruza and Kerber be up next 2 matches after that always a chance one of them go out early draw open up for her.But she can do well.

    NAOMI OSAKA 40/1

    She a big server from Japan who will love bouncy Wimbledon courts she get here big serve and hard hitting game be perfect here.She won at Indian wells which is biggest event outside of the slams so she can handle pressure of big events.Up first be Nicilescu and could get Kerber in 3rd round which be hard but she can beat her maybe Garcia after that could clash with Barty as well

    Well there my bets any views guys and what your bets

    I’ve had a couple plays on the Mens Daz
    Kyle Edmund 100/1 has progressed well this year and confidence will be high, will have the crowd on his side and capable of producing a big performance
    Marin Cilic 15/2 is my main bet has produced more consistent tennis and has the better quarter

    Have backed CILIC and DEL PIOTRO in the Mens Singles and see the racing post has gone and tipped the pair of them 8/1 and 25/1!!

    The Womens looks too tough but have backed OSTAPENKO at 40/1 and MUGURUZA at 9/1 but to be honest both are a guess!!

    I’ve not dipped my toe into the Wimbledon betting pond yet, and mad as it
    may seem (and he is mad) I’m having a few quid on Nick Kyrgios at 16/1.
    He definitely has the game to win here, I just wish he had someone elses
    head on his shoulders :wacko:

    Whoever said women tennis players can’t be trusted is spot on. Bet on one of their matches at your peril . No consistency whatsoever . I liken them to 5 furlong handicappers on the flat .

    The majority of women players are not comfortable playing on grass anyway – most of them would get a nosebleed if they ventured anywhere close to the net .

    The late , great Alex Bird once said that punters should not trust fillies because they were unpredictable and inconsistent – although for Habibti he would make an exception .

    So it is with women tennis players . With a fit Serena Williams on your side , you can sometimes make an exception . She should be good enough to see off the rest .
