Well, the surprise of Wimbledon 2009 has been the spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero, he has already three impressive wins from which two against difficult players like Mikhail Youzhny and yesterday against Fernando Gonzalez. Well, Ferrero didn't impressed in this way since a long period as he is playing with a lot of stability and confidence, there also is so visible his huge motivation here at Wimbledon. Now he will play against the frenchman Gilles Simon who comes after a victory in straight sets against the romanian player Victor Hanescu and there are no doubts about his great victory but have to make the difference between Hanescu and Ferrero as there is a huge difference...

Well, the romanian player Victor Hanescu is too overrated here as he never ever looked like a great grass-courter, there are no doubts about the fact that he possess a powerful serve but besides the serve you have to play also stable from the baseline and here I see just a big difference between these two players. Simon is a great returner, one of the best returners in the world and I think that he will read romanian's serve without too many problems. Simon is just at least one class over Hanescu, there is true that the frenchman didn't impressed with his results for a quite long period but Hanescu purely can not be on the same level with Simon. It is true also that... [read the entire article]

A very tight match at first sight and there are no doubts about that, but despite that I still see Igor Andreev as a litter bit favourite in this one as he possess just better qualities than Seppi on grass, his great forehand can make the difference. Igor Andreev is playing a aggressive tennis while Andreas Seppi is playing a deffensive tennis, there are no doubts that Seppi change a litter bit his style, as he try to be more aggressive against his opponent but still this change is difficult for him as he is a deffensive baseliner. Another fact is that Seppi is a big surprise here at Wimbledon as he could eliminate... [read the entire article]

 First game for both players and where Igor Kunitsyn is clear on a better position in the ATP rating than Grigor Dimitrov but still he is not the favourite and that only because Dimitrov's very impressive tennis as he has proved his great talent in some games from Rotterdam of this year like a victory against Berdych or a loss but very impressive tennis against Rafael Nadal. Surely Dimitrov is a young talented player but he still didn't had enough time and games for to get the right experience and I'm not going to overrate him just because of his great talent as the stability is the first sign of a big player. There is another very important factor which is the... [read the entire article]

Well, a very closed one at first sight but if we look a litter bit more watchful to the difference between these two players then we'lll see that Philipp Petzschner is just the better player with more experience of important tournaments. There are no doubts that the american can play stable at his serve and could make this one very closed but still I think that these odds represent value on the german man as I have said he has just more time spent on grass courts and not only. Ram's almost success have been proved on hrad courts and on american tournaments without, tournaments which do not a big importance. Anyway Ram didn't lost at least one set still here in wimbledon...

Well, here comes and honey of today, Fabrice Santoro against Nicolas Kiefer - a match which could end very easy in a three sets victory for the german man as there is just too clear the difference between these two players certain on grass. Santoro impressed with his results recently as he has played even the semi-final of Eastbourne, but that only because of his opponents he has played against and of course of Ljubicic´s retirement. There are no doubts about Santoro´s great defence as he can always be a dangerous player if you´re not playing stable against him, but lets take a look of the importance of Wimbldeon, I´m...

 First game here in Wimbledon for Radek Stepanek and not only, first game for him on grass of this year. Due to left ankle injury he has retired in his last game against Pablo Cuevas but since then he had quite long period for preparation. A Grand Slam like Wimbledon have been always approached with a lot of motivation and also success by the czech man, so I'm sure that he will give his best here. Anyway, the first game always can be a litter bit surprising, especially the first set till you find your rhythm, but despite this we have just too high odds on Stepanek as he is just much better than Alejandro Falla. Falla is a player who couldn't get too much experience... [read the entire article]

Well, Marat Safin didn't proved stability in his latest games but that can't change his class, even if at first sight looks like he is in a really bad form as besides his victory against Sidorenko he has already six losses I will still say that he has played against difficult players, no doubts about the fact that he didn't played his best tennis but I just don't think that there is the case to underrate him and offer these great odds on him against the american Levine who possess a powerful serve and surely that he will win many wasy points on his serve but besides serve he will surely be in big trouble as there is just a huge difference in class between...

Wawrinka is in good form and can play very well on clay, Federer took a wildcard and hopes to find some form but isnot at his best. The chance for his countryman to beat the fed today.

After two great matches against Verdasco and Djokovic, where in both of them Nadal has proved his great mental power and belive comes and the final of this tournament against Roger Federer who defeated Del Potro yesterday, a match where he was by all during the game in control. Today Federer won't dominate his opponent for sure as this had never happened since Nadal real improvement. Even if Rafa has a injury problem on his foot and even he has played a very lng and difficut match against Novak Djokovic I still belive that he will have no problems from these points of view as he has proved so many times his great physical. Djokovic done a incredible great job against... [read the entire article]

This is really a surprise to see favourite in this one, these odds are influenced a lot by the fact that these two players have played recently and Cilic has ended in straight sets quite easy but have to mentionate that this is just another tournament and the situation is surely another as first of all Kohlschreiber is just the better player on clay than Cilic and his recently easy victory against the german man can't change the essential things, second I have to say that Kohlschreiber impressed a lot in his game against Nicolas Almagro, a lot of confidence in his play. Cilic has played three sets and there were many peiods of ups and downs in his play, no stability... [read the entire article]

Soderling make a confident start here with a strong win over marcel granollers after a very good match. Crivoi start also very well, but his play it not so confident for the atp tour, he plays better in challengers. He play also in qual and he must be a little tired after 3 hard matches. Soder have the experience to go over crivoi and win this match. Big difference also in the atp standing, almost 100 positions between them. But this dont matter so much. Soderling will win this.

Well, this will going to be a very difficult match for both players as both are playing some amazing tennis these days but still there is a difference in class between these two players as Verdasco is more stable from the baseline and against the offensive style of Gonzalez he should disentangle very well. Gonzalez can play great offensive tennis but when you play against a player like Verdasco you simple have to have the stability in defence. It wasn't just a appearance when Verdasco has impressed from this early on new start of the season, he is showing the same great tennis with stability in continuation and IMO he is one of the best players on clay, the one of few...

A match between two spaniards and where I expect many long rallys, fight for almost every ball. David Ferrer didn't impressed with his recently results as he has lost in Monte-Carlo first from Verdasco very easy and here in Barcelona already two sets lost against not difficult players. While Ferrer is not showing stability these days Robredo has a similar situation as he he still is not playing at his best. No one of these two players look on fire at the moment and is only the class difference the single reason. Even if the rating position suggest a clear balance between these two players I have to say that Ferrer is just more talented and his questionable recent results... [read the entire article]
