I think Federer at -218 is a good value. I don't see anyone beating him. My only concern is that he skipped his usual warm up tourney in Halle, Germany this week citing fatigue. Should be interesting to see how he rebounds from his devastating loss to Nadal on Sunday. His psyche and his confidence surely have to be rattled a bit. Roger won't cruise to the finals like he did last year; I expect him to drop a set here and there. Nadal looks like a good value at +700. Roddick looks good at +1400. I think Rafa & Andy are futures plays worth holding until they face Federer.

Nadal can not run perfectly on this surface. But I still see him going to the final and play against Federrer. And, this time Federrer has the chance to revenge his lost at Roland Garos and come up to the set and beat Nadal in 4 sets: 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.Comment -

Zootie I'm absolutely LOVING Mahut over Clement. This kid is so underrated on grass it's ridiculous. He's one of these guys that just loves grass, but yet struggles the rest of the year. I was praying he'd get a favourable draw for some good plays on him, and I've been popping like crazy the last two days on him (and will again in the 2nd round). GL...Comment -
As a fan I'm of course interested in the Henman/Moya 5-5 5th set conclusion. They both certainly have heart, but it's also a tad discouraging to see them both noticeably five years past their primes (particularly Henman). I hope Henman gives the Brits at least one countryman in the 2nd round as they really love their tennis over there...Comment
