Of course it must be that time of the year when the white sweaters come out, the champagne starts flowing and the strawberries as sold in their thousands as the all England Lawn Tennis club host the English Grand slam at Wimbledon.

A shock early exit from the French Open last month month from Raphael Nadal saw Roger Federer breeze to a fourteenth Grand Slam title to equal the great Pete Sampras in career Grand Slams,
A niggling injury then forced Nadal to pull out of the English Open at Wimlbedon leaving the door wide open for Federer to complete the fairy tale and become the greatest tennis player ever – and recapture his long held number one ranking.

According to centrebet.com Federer is the red hot favourite ahead of American Andy Roddick, Scotsman Andy Murray, Novak Djokic, Tommy Haas and new comer Robin Soderling.

It would be foolish to bet against Federer who though not noted as a grass court specialist, continues to wow audiences on any surface.

The women’s competition offers a little better value at Centrebet.com despite the fact that the Wiliams sisters have had a virtual strangle hold on the tournament for the last seven years.

The red hot Spaniard will justifiably take the tag of favourite into the French Open at Roland Garros in three weeks time given that not only does he appear unbeatable at the moment, but he will be playing on a clay surface – his favourite surface.

It will be no easy task however with the like of Federer (2nd), Djokovic (3rd) and Murray (4th) all snapping at his heels having posted recent victories of their own.

There is also plenty of time for he (and his opponents) to play themselves into form with six major ATP tournaments between now and the French Open which Begins on the 24th of May, so make sure you get your bets in on time at CentreBet!

Nadal, the Australian Open champion was obviously unhappy with his performance, but still managed to reach the fourth round after taking out Portugal’s Frederico Gil. His next opponent will be either Swiss 16th seed Stanislas Wawrinka or Russian 20th seed Igor Andreev.

Murray, who is ranked fourth also advanced to the last 16 by defeating Chilean Nicolas Massu, and he will be taking on Serbian Viktor Troicki. The William sisters each will need three sets to advance into the women’s quarter finals. Serena managed to outlast China’s 17th seeded Zheng Jie and progress into the game to match up against either China’s Li Na or Russian Ekaterina MAkarova.

It appears for some particular reason, all the world number ones have problem living up to their names in this game. Nadal wasn’t polished in his usual way. Serena Williams frustratingly said that she had a lot of errors.

What will be interesting will be seeing reigning Wimbledon champion Williams meeting her top ranked sister Serena in a Miami semi –final.

Australian Samantha Stosur who is ranked 42nd continued progressing into the quarter finals by taking out French 20th seed Amelie Mauresmo. Danish 13th seed Caroline Wozniacki took the hard earned game against Elena Dementieva and also progressed into the quarter finals.

Under new anti doping guidelines, international tennis officials have the right to show up without prior warning to obtain a urine sample from any player for testing.

Andy Murray was furious with the new laws claiming that less than four days after bowing out of the Australian Open, an official arrived at his private home at 7 am demanding he produce a urine sample while the official looked on to ensure it was indeed Murray’s own urine.

A jet lagged Murray had provided a urine sample directly after his defeat at the Australian Open and was allegedly asked to prove his identity as well as forms indicating his permanent residency.

According to the new laws, if a player refuses to give a sample three times over an 18 month period the could be suspended for up to two years.

Raffael Nadal also sided with Murray claiming that the new regulations were borderline harassment.

No longer does a player have a date set for them on which they will provide the sample, it can happen at any time and if said player is unable to take the test they must provided a reasonable excuse lest it count as a strike.

Roger Federer was all for the new testing claiming that it is the best way possible to catch drugs cheats and ensure the sport of tennis remains as clean as possible. www.iasbet.com.au

Memories can be short in sport – though where the women are concerned Amelie Mauresmo’s Australian Open and Wimbledon double is hardly sepia-tinged having been achieved in 2006.
Among the men, however, French fans hardly need reminding that Yannick Noah’s 1983 Roland Garros triumph gave his compatriots their only singles Grand Slam title in the Open Era.

That’s a long way behind the 7100 of top-ranked Rafael Nadal but a fine haul for a new name keen to stay ahead amid healthy domestic competition from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet (absent this week through injury) and Monfils, who are 14th, 15th and 16th in the standings.

His chief rivals are Spaniard David Ferrer, American James Blake and up-and-coming Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka.

With China swimming into focus Simon says he is aware he must watch out he doesn’t ‘fall into the trap of wanting to play too well’ against fans who will demand more of the same after watching him dump Nadal in his own backyard of Madrid.

‘I’ll try not to lose sight of what I’m aiming at’, he insisted

But seriously, who can beat him… Nadal? Roddick? Hewitt? Possibly – but perhaps not. Make sure you bet on www.Wimbleton.com today to get the best odds on these players – as they win through the tournament, their odds will come in.
