Usual suspects

Rafa
Fed
Djokovic

Will be interesting to see if Fed decides to come to the net more this season on grass.

If Fed decides to come to the net more on grass, that would add another attribute to his game. I'd probably bet Federer to win Wimbledon if this feature to his game is developed.

On clay surface, the Joker takes out Nadal in straight sets to win a tournament less than 2 months from Wimbledon.

Right now my lean is that Joker wins Wimbledon. Unless somebody else sees another challenger that should or could win it...

Now that the French Open is about to start, we can see that Federer's game has definately fallen. So, I'm very interested to see how Djokovic and Nadal perform here in the French. If the Joker is close to beating Nadal or beats Nadal in the French, he'll likely be the guy I put money on at Wimbledon.

From Sportsbook here are some French open odds:

Rafael Nadal

	-125	var currentEventId = "F533-RafaelNadal-060311\|F\|1\|4\|5"; var theCheckedEventId = document.forms["oddsUpdate"]["checkedEventId"].value; if (theCheckedEventId != "" && currentEventId == theCheckedEventId) { document.forms["BET"]["selection[F533-RafaelNadal-060311F]"].checked = true; }
Novak Djokovic		+125	var currentEventId = "F533-NovakDjokovic-060311\|F\|1\|5\|4"; var theCheckedEventId = document.forms["oddsUpdate"]["checkedEventId"].value; if (theCheckedEventId != "" && currentEventId == theCheckedEventId) { document.forms["BET"]["selection[F533-NovakDjokovic-060311F]"].checked = true; }
Roger Federer		+1500	var currentEventId = "F533-RogerFederer-060311\|F\|1\|15\|1"; var theCheckedEventId = document.forms["oddsUpdate"]["checkedEventId"].value; if (theCheckedEventId != "" && currentEventId == theCheckedEventId) { document.forms["BET"]["selection[F533-RogerFederer-060311F]"].checked = true; }
Andy Murray		+1500	var currentEventId = "F533-AndyMurray-060311\|F\|1\|15\|1"; var theCheckedEventId = document.forms["oddsUpdate"]["checkedEventId"].value; if (theCheckedEventId != "" && currentEventId == theCheckedEventId) { document.forms["BET"]["selection[F533-AndyMurray-060311F]"].checked = true; }
Juan Martin Del Potro		+2500	var currentEventId = "F533-JuanMartinDelPotro-060311\|F\|1\|25\|1"; var theCheckedEventId = document.forms["oddsUpdate"]["checkedEventId"].value; if (theCheckedEventId != "" && currentEventId == theCheckedEventId) { document.forms["BET"]["selection[F533-JuanMartinDelPotro-060311F]"].checked = true; }
David Ferrer		+2500	var currentEventId = "F533-DavidFerrer-060311\|F\|1\|25\|1"; var theCheckedEventId = document.forms["oddsUpdate"]["checkedEventId"].value; if (theCheckedEventId != "" && currentEventId == theCheckedEventId) { document.forms["BET"]["selection[F533-DavidFerrer-060311F]"].checked = true; }
Robin Soderling

Nadal is +105

Nole is +260

Ferrer is +5000

I love Berdych to make it far in Wimbledon this year. I think he has great value at +1200 or more.

Still waiting for the French to finish.

In the quarterfinals I assume N.Djokovic will beat Fognini

Federer should take out Monfils

Murry over Chella

Nadal to beat Soderling

The Semis should have Joker vs. Federer

and Nadal vs. Murry

Then comes the big final between Nadal and the Joker

I can see where Nadal might get this one but then Wimbledon will be the Joker's revenge.

I'm eager to see the futures on Wimbledon to see what kind of odds someone will get on the Joker. It's looking like it'll be his tournament.

Actually that's a good point. Maybe it's not his tournament. It's just that when you put his record in front of my face this year, it almost seems like he's got to win it. He beat Federer twice this year and Nadal 4 times along with never losing to anyone yet.

Thanks. After , the Joker losing to Federer and Federer losing to Nadal in the French, I'm kind of confused again as to who to take for Wimbledon. I understand clay is much different than grass, but Nadal has beaten Federer on grass before. The question is, is the Joker better on grass than other surfaces?

So, it sounds like he should have at least an equal shot at winning it all. I think it would be a shame if he doesn't win another major this year after his terrific streak. But, we don't put our money down on who we want to see win, it's supposed to be on who will win. So, I'm still unsure on this one. But, I don't think I'll bet on Andy Murray to win Wimbledon or Soderling for that matter. Obviously, it's either Nadal, Federer, or the Joker. But which one?
