Stakhovsky -370 seems way too low. Nishioka is a Challenger-level guy with no serve. Stako just beat him 6-3, 6-1 a couple weeks ago. I'm also taking -5.5 games.

Not much else that I like for Monday. I think Gulbis might take out Sock, though I hope not. And I'm not betting women, but if you want a +300 dog, fading Stosur on grass is a good idea.

Let's go!!!!!

Murray is winning it all. He's healthy and doesn't have to go through his Fed kryptonite to reach the final. As good as Djoker is, Murray is the better grass court player.

Stanimal-Del awesomo should be an epic 2nd rounder. Scanning the list of 1st round matchups, I see 4 or 5 solid matchups where both guys are well known.

Bold but not really bold predictions.
Berdych beats Thiem and Cilic beat Nishikori to both reach the quarters.
Fed, Murray, Djoker, Gasquet, Raonic, and Stan/JMDP winner round it out.

Interesting hypothetical that will never happen because England national team are the anti lebron. Murray wins Wimbledon and England win Euros on same day. Greatest day in England athletics?

Here's to a great Wimbledon

If you're not watching the Djoker match, you are missing Johnny Mac completely shitting on James Ward. It's hilarious

I know it happens at all four majors, but the wildcards that tournaments use for their countrymen make for some terrible matches. These British tomato cans are the worst.

It's not like whoever else Djoker played wasn't going to get annihilated too

I think the answer is "yes" for most of us, but is it worth living the dream of playing on Centre Court if you were to be triple bageled?

I would have agreed with you until the Sharapova thing, which shows they don't play favorites. Aren't they using WADA? What else can they do?


Stop ignoring what Djoke, Ferrer, Nadal, and Murray are using.

Tennis is the cycling(Tour de france) late 90's drug cheats. Joker couldn't last 5 sets then all of the sudden he is able to endure better than anybody easily. Really?
