Description

For once the weather looks good here in the UK, and fingers crossed we will see a dry(ish) championship. Flood lights are also being used for the first time this year, so we will see games continuing when required.

My hot tip for Wimbledon this year is Andy Murray, but you must remember that being British probably gives me a bias, Federer may well be the real favourite, but he is not available at such good value odds at the moment.

Note: Never bet with any money that you are not prepared to lose. Always form your own opinion when betting and do not blindly follow tips.
