If I wanted a modest interest at a good price in either the mens or ladies singles who should I look at?
Federer is favourite with a tough draw, but who is an up and coming youngster to watch?
What's going to give me a good run for my money?
Karabiner, i think you might be our resident tennis expert, but all views considered (except Henman or any brit!)

Nadal is great...on clay.
Nobody is going to beat Federer unless he takes injuries though.

Cliff Richard to instigate or partake in a sing-a-long during a break in play caused by bad weather. License to print money!! As for the tournaments themselves sorry but cant be of much use - of all the sports in the monkey olympics monkeytennis was one of my least favourites and so i dont follow it much  |

Mr BlueSquare is going to be very unhappy with the betting opportunities afforded by the first three responses. Unhappy cos I want a fun bet that will inevitably lose, that is.

Well if you want a fun bet that will inevitably lose then why didnt you say so!! Any British player to win either the mens or ladies singles event....... |

James Blake - to make the semis.
Verdasco should also do well, but no chance of winning it.

 Blake is a good player and did well last week at Eastbourne/Queens (can't remember which) Also, I shall be looking at Ancic - he's a classy player and is a contender imo. For the laydees, I'd say the usual suspects to be honest. I quite like Hingis but that's just personal opinion - she is playing reasonably well at the moment. |

Justine Henin-Hardenne to win the womens at 4/1. Just off the back of a win at the French Open and a grass court win at Eastbourne there is great value for money at this price.

Thanks for the flattery Mr End, and yes I do have one small fancy at a decent price.
I've had a small interest on Nicole Vaidisova @ 14/1 for the Ladies singles.
She has immense talent and it's only a matter of time before she dominates women's tennis imo.
But she's only seventeen and has a bit of a temperament.

Her serve isn't strong enough. |

I agree with this 100%. |

The fact that Federer is 4/9 with most bookmakers is an indication......
