The top seeds won't have a decent match till the 2nd week.
Serena will no doubt face a 678 seed followed by a 234 seed followed by a 187 seed, etc etc.. |

The start of things to come. BBC1 and 2 both covering the Murray match..

Yes, this changing channels during matches drives me nuts.
Hopeless recording a match on a certain channel, only to find it unexpectedly switched channels during play when watching it back  No thought at all to people who are working during Wimbledon fortnight and have to record matches. |

On a lighter note Andy is guest editor of this week's Beano.

What are the odds of 2 girlies in the 128 player tournament having the same birthday AND being drawn against each other in round one?
Pavlyuchenkova and Riske, both born on July 3rd. Where is the brainy person that can answer this?  |

I'm sure a brainy person will be along shortly, cmat.

Julia Gorgeous. She just got beat by Lucie.. Julia's game has gone to pot over the last year or so and she has slipped right down the rankings. Lucie is a left-hander  |

I'm doing ALJA TOMLJANOVIC to beat Watson at 2.88
She's beaten 6-7 girls ranked higher than Heather this year, although surface is a slight concern. |

Think Plucky Tara can sink Vera motherland Hero.
Belinda Bencic should have little trouble vs 1st round loser specialist. Alison Riske another turf lover can hopefully complete 3/3 |

I'm doing ALJA TOMLJANOVIC to beat Watson at 2.88 Under the cosh from the first serve. Did you bail out? |

No, sadly. Bad start, was my first bet.

Magdalena Rybarikova Topshelf Open - semi finalist. French Open - went out in second round. Aegeon Classic - went out in second round. Any tourney on grass since before Wimbledon last year, has never gone out in the first round. Started at 6/4, she won the first and went as low as 1/5 (job done) but lost the 2nd set. |

When Andy Won Wimbledon
.http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0480p1g/when-andy-won-wimbledon I've just watched this and I'm emotionally drained. I was so nervous reliving the final, my heart was pounding, even tho' I knew the outcome. A great moment when Amy Macdonald had to stop during her concert at the Cornbury Festival because she was so anxious about Andy in the final. She didn't know what to do. Truly heartbreaking to see Esme Macintyre, a fan of Andy's, who died from a brain tumour. A really enjoyable programme, well worth watching Andy's Wimbledon victory, for me, is almost up there with AP's Grand National win  |

Grand Slam Singles Results Year Wimbledon 2008 1ST 2009 1ST 2010 1ST 2011 1ST 2012 1ST 2013 1ST 2014 1ST Wimbledon 1st round loser specialist was fair comment imo. Taken the small green on Tara, not overly keen on overnight delays. |

I missed Andy's match today but see it was a very pleasing result
Did no one see the Andy documentary then? It made me realise just how much Andy's win meant to British tennis fans in general. The wait for a British winner of Wimbledon must have been agonising for them, all these years. I sent a link to Rick in case he missed it but someone told me earlier that it was a repeat. |

LEFT HANDERS -
Angelique Kerber - WON Casey Dellacqua - WON Ekaterina Makarova - WON Lucie Safarova - WON Misaki Doi - WON Petra Kvitova - WON Varvara Lepchenko - WON Taylor Townsend - LOST (She was beatan by Koukalova, 1 of my 26 for round 1) Krystyna Pliskova - LOST (She was beaten by Shvedova after winning the opening set) (^^^ I thought she won yesterday, but I got her mixed up with her sister Karolyna, who is right handed)  - LEFT HANDERS- - 2nd round Lucie Safarova - WON Petra Kvitova - WON Ekaterina Makarova - WON Angelique Kerber WON Misaki Doi - LOST (beaten by Makarova, another left hander) Varvara Lepchenko - LOST (beaten 7-5 and 6-3 by an unseeded player) Casey Dellacqua - LOST (no surprise there, she was up against Agnes Radwanska) I backed Victoria Azarenka in a treble yesterday, the other 2 won while she was playing. When I fancy a player to win, if she drifts I generally back her again at the larger price and take my stakes back plus a bit on top if they shorten up again. This time I didn't bother as it looked like Vicky had got too far behind She went to 100/1 in running, but was back down to odds on again before losing the final set.  |

Andy v Roberto Bautista Agut Will Andy get to play anyone I know I wonder I should be able to watch all that match  |

I must be reading this match for tomorrow a bit wrong.
Andrea Petkovic v Eugenie Bouchard Never played each other on grass before, but have faced each other 3 times on other surfaces. Match 1 in 2011 - Petkovic won in straight sets 6-3 & 6-2 Match 2 in 2013 - Petkovic lost the opening set 2-6, but won the other 2 sets 7-5 & 6-1 Match 3 in 2014 - Petkovic lost the opening set 1-6, but won the other 2 sets 6-3 & 7-5 Why is she 2/1 against to win this match, while Bouchard is 1.48? |
