Wimbledon

The draws have been released for the tourney which starts on Monday. I'm not getting heavily involved. I'm still disappointed at the result of the French Open ladies' tournament! Getting Bouchard and Petkovic to the semis at huge prices with little return (just 6/1 for Bouchard to win her quarter) was painful. 

The only interest we have going in is Venus @ 66/1 and a negative position on Murray. All the Murray bets are still running of course as he has not won a grand slam, or indeed a tournament, this year. If the seedings work out he would have to beat Djokovic and then Nadal to defend here. 

In the ladies' event, Sharapova has again been drawn in Serena's quarter. This didn't stop her winning the French but she didn't have to play Serena as the latter lost in the second round. Venus is drawn in the bottom half which is a positive. 

For now I've just had a small bet on Ivanovic. She has been playing well this year. She is drawn in the second quarter and if she was to reach the semis she could conceivably beat Pova or Serena on her day for a place in the final. A big ask but 33s appeals. I may have some quarter bets when the prices are published. 

1pt ew Ana Ivanovic @ 33/1 William Hill (1/2 odds 1,2)
