I backed Angelique Kerber at 200 to win the tourney. She cruised through the first 2 rounds. I looked in this afternoon and she had lost the first set against Flipkens. So I took my stake back and a sheckel on top at 65. Then she won the next 2 sets.
 Fatty Williams is out  I've got Sharapova in the 'without Fatty' market at 6/1. |

My 2nd bet comes up on Monday.
John Isner at 2.3 against Feliciano Lopez. Very good grass court player and 2.3 is too big. |

Did a four match acca today, first three went in, just needed keys to win to pay out a fraction over 3/1... light stopped play with keys one set down and 6-6 in the second. What are the chances ffs

By:
I'm not bothering with the mens as it's just too tight to predict , but i lumped on Sharapova @ 9's for the Womens (9's was a huge price) as explained to another forumite that Serena was past her sell by date so was just hoping she would crash out !!
Love Maria to bits & will be v happy when she wins  |

By:

Sue Barker on the much improved form of Simona Halep, moving from 77th to 5th in the WTA rankings this year - 'It's as though she flicked a switch'
According to my source, it could also be that she had large knockers, and a breast reduction now allows her to play much better, but the prissy prim Barker wouldn't say that, would she? |
|
By:
Lucie Safarova was 600 at the start of the tourney (now 28)
Petra Kvitova hit a high of 60 when in trouble in an earlier match, but 30 was generally available (now 3.75) Ekaterina Makarova was as available at all rates up to 1000 for small money (now 24) Angelique Kerber was as high as 240, and as low as 24, but is up against Shazza next, and has drifted out to 32 |

It's a fair measure of how much Sharapova is known to battle on and never give up.
She faced 7 match points before losing, but never went more than 8/1. And when it was advantage Kerber in the final game, Shazza waa 9/4, when it went to deuce Shazza went to about 2.06, and when she got the advantage she went to 1.78. Massive moves for just one point. Hence the amount traded on the match - £20,916,397 |

Maria out ... Gutted

The OCD kid following her shortly..

andy is gonna have to pack his bags in about an hours time
|

By:
Oh deary deary me!
I wonder if the beeb will shut up shop now and show repeats of Antiques Roadshow from Scotland? |
|
By:
thanks taxi ......... first time I've been called a source
|
|
By:
the beeb's performance has been woeful ... they once lost pictures completely on a match I was watching on the red button.
once a match has started keep it on that channel if at all possible. never leave a match you have been showing just to chat to each other in the studio. I've got no criticism of the presenters other than there are probably too many .. which probably means they are queuing up for the big bucks. |
|
By:
I've been here, there and everywhere today so haven't had chance to watch any tennis.
Just seen that Andy is out |
|
By:
does that mean now it won't be on tv 24 hours a day?
|
|
By:
The crowd will be less silly.
|
|
By:
Been reading all sorts of speculation about why Andy went out the way he did
 Anyway, it's going to be a stupendous Final |
