Andy Murray faces a tough end to the tournament this year if he's to win Wimbledon for a second time.
He faces Mikhail Kukushkin in round one then probably Robin Haase in the second round, Andreas Seppi in the third round, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last 16, Rafael Nadal in the quarter finals, Roger Federer in the semis and Novak Djokovic in the final.
Murray will play his first match on Tuesday, whilst Djokovic kicks things off on Monday against Philipp Kohlschreiber. Federer plays Damir Dzumhur and Nadal plays Thomaz Bellucci.
Looking forward to the best two weeks in the tennis calendar.

£2 on Djokovic to beat Nadal in the final. 25/1.
Sore one for Murray but he's in the form to do it. Surprised Wawrinka doesn't get more of a mention!

And on that note, my Skybet account has been emptied on both Djokovic and Stan.
If Murray wins it, I won't care about the money!

He got to the quarter finals at Wimbledon last year, which is his best performance so far. In the four years prior to last year, he only managed one victory.
I wouldn't consider him to be among the favourites for Wimbledon. I can't see past Djokovic again this year although it will be interesting to see if his lack of grass court action, leading up to Wimbledon, does him any harm.
Only other real contender is Murray although Milos Raonic may also be worth a shout after his run to the semis last year.

Said for a couple of years Raonic was one to watch but not sure if he has the fitness in a slam event. Kevin Anderson might shock someone.
Murray and Djokavic final for me.
Which woman are worth watching?

I don't see Kevin Anderson being in contention.
As for the women, I can't see past Serena Williams but it's a bit harder to predict so there could be a dark horse in there.

His record so far is;
Quarter finals - 1
Last 16 - 2
3rd round - 1
2nd round - 1
1st round - 5
It's fair to say that grass isn't his surface.

With you that I wonder about Raonic's fitness over 5 sets. He struggles due to giving all his power on each and every point.

Unless he's due to meet Djokivic or someone early doors he could get by?

After my French Open success (and the shock in the final) I'm going to stick to betting on individual matches rather than outright winner I reckon.
Mainly out of interest today I've taken Djokovic to win 3-1 (10/3) or 3-2 (10/1). Fancy Kohlschreiber to cause him a few problems and, as Trig alluded to, I think Djokovic's lack of grass court action might cause him to start slowly.
Also looking for potential shocks on the opening day, have stuck a couple of quid on Johanna Konta against Sharapova. Konta looked good at Eastbourne and hammered Bencic (eventual winner) in the first set of their match before apparently suffering the effects of an illness she's been carrying. Sharapova has apparently also been unwell recently and I think she's lacked concentration and consistency at times when I've seen her recently. The Centre Court crowd could be a factor and if Konta can harness it, I reckon she's in with a chance. In any event, 13/2 was too tempting!

Although I do fancy your Djokovic bet. I can't see Kohlschreiber beating him but he is a very decent player and I wouldn't be surprised if he wins a set.Last edited by Sir David Gray; 29-06-2015 at 11:29 AM.

Looked at Broady before his match but was only 4s and didn't think there was enough value in it! I wonder what odds he was at 2 sets down...

Easy to be wise after the event!
Shame Hewitt is out of his last Wimbledon. Always enjoyed his matches.

He doesn't have much of a record on grass and won for the first time at Wimbledon last year and won the first set against Nadal in the third round before losing in four sets.
I don't see anything other than a straights win for Murray tonight.
I'll probably miss it as well, i'm currently on holiday in Portugal and i've yet to find the channel showing Wimbledon.

Did she serve it up to you in bed?! Oh dear... That's a brutal attempt at a joke.
