Wimbledon quarter betting

Difficult to identify any value ew bets in the men's competition. With Murray and Djoko kept apart in the draw a lot of pundits are already anticipating that this will be the final. It may well be the case but the odds on either of these two winning are prohibitively short. Djoko opens against Kohly a horrible draw for the champion who has not had a competitive match on grass in the lead up. Kohly, who almost beat Federer in Halle, plays well on the surface and has had four matches. On betfair it's 17.0 Kohly winning the encounter which seems a huge price to me.

As for Murray, the number ten seed has dropped into his quarter. We therefore have the prospect of yet another Murray-Nadal clash. Murray easily beat Nadal in the Madrid final last time they met but the overall H2H is 15-6 in the Spaniard's favour. What about meetings on grass? Well they've met three times at Wimbledon ('08, '10 and '11) and Murray has only won a single set. So 4/6 Murray to win the third quarter or 5/1 Nadal?: 

2pts Nadal to win the third quarter men's singles @ 5/1 Betfred

I'm giving Cilic one more chance. He's 16/1 to win the Djoko quarter:

1pt Cilic to win the first quarter men's singles @ 16/1 Betfred

As for the ladies, just a couple of small wagers on the Swiss players as follows: 

1.5pts Bencic to win the first quarter ladies' singles @ 16/1 Coral

1pt Bacsinsky to win the third quarter ladies' singles @ 18/1 Betfred

Total staked 5.5 points.
