    Backed Hurcacz in the mens singles and Elena Rybakina in the ladies singles.

    Also backed Raducanu’s opponent today. She must be a bit of value at odds against.

    That 16-1 is looking good Darren. 7-1 not bad either. I think Gauff is really up for it this year.

    I have backed Paolini (60-1) and Kasatkina (30-1) because I saw them at Eastbourne. Saw Gauff last year and backed her but she was out in the first round! Also backed Taylor Fritz to make the semifinals. He should have been bigger than 9-2 but you never know. All are better value than the ridiculously short prices on offer for the Brits though (some of whom are already out).

    Novak Djokovic, one of the greatest players in the history of tennis, is in action at Wimbledon. And the BBC decides to show…Katie Boulter. :wacko:

    Extraordinary isn’t it? We can only hope that the British players are knocked out early so we can watch some proper tennis.

    Bit like the football really!

    Now they’ve cut from Gauff’s match to cover some Brit I’ve never heard of playing some other unfamiliar name on Court 3….

    Backed Elise Mertens to defeat Emma Raducanu at 2.78 on Betfair.

    Gauff has had a very easy draw. I am hoping she is in for a very nasty shock in a couple of rounds time.

    The British Broadcasting Corporation broadcasting matches featuring British players seems fairly reasonable to me.

    They show every court online anyway and we haven’t reached the second week yet, opportunities to show British players are traditionally more limited.

    My God the BBC bled every drop from that Murray interview, I nearly brought my dinner up.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Just to clarify Gauff did get a very nasty shock as I predicted above, but unfortunately, from my point of view, with the wrong player.

    It looks miles off in the end, but probably the closest I will ever get to landing a 375/1 winner.

    Djokovic doing his best to turn the Wimbledon crowd against him once and for all. :wacko:

    Once they realised he thought they were booing it got worse, not very Wimbledon. Great player and not his greatest fan but I agreed with him.

    I think he got it completely wrong. The crowd wasn’t booing him and he picked a totally unnecessary fight with them.

    When I first heard I thought they were booing then clicked and he did eventually but the crowd had picked up on it.

    Someone on the men’s tennis forum mentioned it had happened before…

    “I was there the night Djokovic played Rune at the USO in 2021. There were plenty of boos thrown in that night in addition to the “Ruunes” but the intent to try to bother/rattle Djokovic was clear, just like it was apparent tonight”.
