For those of you who don't know I used to be the tennis handicapper here at Propun, but have stopped for sometime due to other work pressures. I know you all love a try on the grass of Wimbledon and hopefully over the next two weeks I'll find you a punt or two to increase your banks.

You are all fortunate that I didn't post yesterday's thoughts with my four "value" picks all going under. Hopefully I can turn it around today - I need to as the bookie account balances are looking a little thin...

Dimitrov is a wild card and he’s up against Kunitsyn – here’s my punt of the day. Wild-card was given as he’s the reigning Junior Wimbledon champ and in his lead ups he played the Nottingham Challenger on grass (got in as a lucky loser) beat Dancevic who made the Final of Eastbourne last week before losing to the huge serve of Bozoljac 16,63,64. Got a wild card into Queens and beat Navarro who made the Semis of ‘s-Hertogenbosch last week before losing to Simon 76,76. Kunitsyn a loser to Tursunov in Halle (who did win Eastbourne last week) and beat Clement before losing to Sela in ‘s-Hertogenbosch – is 13 wins and 21 losses on grass compared to the kid who is 11 and 4 if you count Juniors here.

Ghedin to beat Gulbis – Ghedin a qualifier who beat van der Merwe, Kudryavtsev and Crugnola to make the draw (all no-names) but lost to the above mentioned Dimitrov in Nottingham qualies and is 17 wins and 8 losses on grass playing a few minor events. Gulbis right out of touch this year with 9 wins and 16 losses and not making it beyond R2 anywhere the whole season. In lead ups on the surface he’s played one match where he lost to clay courter Alberto Martin at Queens. Is 3 wins and 6 losses on grass in his life, wins coming over Vleigen, Seppi and Isner, losses coming to Beto Martin, Nadal, Murray, Baghdatis, Canas and Kendrick. At the 6.0 (Betfair) I’ll try the Italian no-name player.

That's it for me although I do expect Ferrer, Roddick, Murray, Wawrinka and Gonzo to all win through without too much effort - no value in those blokes though.

I'll do my best to do a post each day throughout the event - other pressures (eg. State of Origin 2) pending.

Cheers
