    Tennis Picks-Wimbledon

    Will keep all my Quarterfinals picks in one thread

    Posted Tournament Record:0-0
    Year to date Record: 0-0

    Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon -160 2x
    Seems like his tournament to win, Nadal crashed out, Federer is nursing a back injury. Murray has never been able to get over the major hump. The draw is favorable gets a layup in Florian Mayer so should be well rested before his potential showdown with Murray, though David Ferrer may have something to way about that.

    Tsonga/Kohlschreiber Under 39.5 +112 1x
    I don't think we have seen the best of Tsonga just yet. Former semi-finalist here I think he wins this clash in going away fashion. Philipp Kohlschreiber has played a ton of tennis this week and during the grass court season. He also hasn't been tested yet by anyone of this class at the Championships to this point. He was the main benefactor with Nadal losing early. He may hang around for a set but I think in the end the Frenchmen will be into his 2nd st8 semi-final at Wimby.

    Good Luck with your plays tomorrow!

    Djoko into the next round safely, but Kohls really played well gutting out that 2nd set and burying my under. He really had a excellent grass court season and nothing but respect for him in that regard.

    yeah frankie has has been impressive all season on grass. He will be sad to see it end.

    1 in WTA
    Kerber -150 2x
    Aga's worst surface, Kerber has been the most "in-form" player on tour in 2012, she made a final in Eastbourne. If she can keep her emotions in check she should be able to win this in 2 sets. If she get down on herself like she did int he Lisicki clash, Aga could get too her because of the way she plays. Aga will not be going for broke the way Lisicki was in the Quarters. Kerber should be able to dictate play and win a tight two setter.

    Good Luck

    yeah Frankie I think Murray rolls here, fits in your "ugly system" as well haha. He has always been a bad matchup for Tsonga, and you know Jo Willie was the most disappointed man to see Ferrer blow that 2nd set tiebreak.

    I do like that over, I think it will be a tough 4 or 5 setter with Nole prevailing in the end.

    Good Luck sir

    Very few times you are happy after losing a bet. But to see what it meant to Federer to back in the final was worth more than the 3+ units I lost on Nole. Also Murray looking good so far, hopefully he doesn't blow the 3-0 prop.

    But congrats to Federer I hope you finish it off Sunday, one of the classiest performers in any sport not just tennis.

    Good Call frankie, Murray gets it done in 4. Still in the red with the Joker future going up in flames, but still has been a decent tournament overall. Final will be amazing on Sunday, no bet or play on it. So that will end the tournament for me. We got Davis Cup next week, so will def be posting picks for that.
