Re: Wimbledon Monday

A few for today....mostly mens:

Rusedski - Easy one really. Rusedski on the slide and not in good form, but Martin is a clay court player with very poor Wimbledon record, and the Briton should see him off with no problems.

Mayer - No brainer this one. Ventura is pretty hopeless on grass, going out at Queens to Andrew Murray and in Nottingham to Berdych, both in first round. Up against a young German who made the quarters of Wimbledon last year.

Zib - Both prefer clay, but Zib has atleast been trying out the grass in the past two weeks, whereas Acasuso, who it has to be noted has had a good season, avoids it like the plague. Acasuso to repeat his first round exit at SW19 for me.

5pts Treble @ 1.71 @ Skybet

Beck - Difficult match to read, but could be value here. Beck was unlucky to run up against in form players Roddick and Rochus in last two weeks, but will fancy his chances v Philipoussis. Scud's fitness is still a big question mark, and aslong as Beck doesn't succumb in straight sets, that could be a telling factor.

2pts @ 2.10 @ William Hill

Baghdatis - V tough game for the Cypriot, but is up against Youzhny who is on the slide, and in terrible form this year. Odds show a little value.

1pt @ 2.75 @ Skybet

Sherwood - Sherwood is not a particularly good player, but is solid and will be cheered on by home support. Up against Ricardo Mello, who after a good start to the year is fading badly, and is hopeless on grass. Out in straight sets in the first round to Vacek in Nottingham winning only 3 games tells its own story.

2pts @ 2.25 @ Ladbrokes

Kim - Bogdanovic is another fairly useless Brit who will be trying to make it 4 first round exits in a row, and he looks in good shape to do just that.

3pts @ 1.67 @ Sporting Odds

Baltacha - Always plays well at Wimbledon, and is up against Klaschka, who has never won at SW19, and who will be up against the crowd as well. Worth a pop.

2pts @ 1.58 @ Betfair
