And if I'm right, I'll most likely make a play on Federer.

No way can I imagine Federer only being -135, he's probably going to do what Nadal did to him at RG. I hedged out my Nadal future with Federer a few rounds ago at 5Dimes. I did get 4-1 on Nadal so I will turn a little profit either way.

Venus is a 4 time champ
She will be favored

Crazyl who do you like in both matchups? I was thinking Venus and Fedex.

Right now Serena and Federer.
Nadal has been great on grass and it's hard to pick anyone out of the entire tennis circuit to beat him even on grass, we know he's god almighty on clay, but a lot of people forget there's still a clear #1 on grass and that's Federer.

Nadal should be -200 if bookmakers had any sense

I'll take Federer +150 from you right now. Your $1,500 to my 1K. What do you say?

If you mean win, sure probably so. Federer won't desroy Nadal in 3 sets like he was in France though. Federer looks great like always in Wimbledon. Nadal is looking even better than last year not losing so many sets. I don't see Federer beating him easily. I do think Federer wins though, he gets to many free points on his serve compared to Nadal.

Implied odds say Federer wins 57% of the finals when he faces Nadal. I'll back Nadal at those odds.

Wheell, it's all about the surface.
I'll be heavy on Federer if he's cheaper than -150.

Mathdot: don't be seduced. This isn't a mirror of the French open final. Rafa has been humiliating guys out there. I have been riding him for what seems like months now (because it has been). He's been the best player in the world on non hard courts for a while and it isn't clear he should be an underdog against Fed. Rafa moves very well and can overpower and wear down anyone. Federer won last year because Nadal wasn't 100% and aggravated an injury late in the match. This is a legitimate clash of the titans and I will be on Rafa.

Schuettler will be exhausted after his last, totally unable to run. Since that's pretty much his entire game at the best of times, he's going to get kerrrrrushed. Best price you can get on Nadal 3-0 is -500!
Since Schuettler is only averaging around 55% first serve, he's going to get broken repeatedly imo. I'm going to go for Nadal -9.5 games at -109. That means Nadal only giving up 8 games (say 6-3 6-3 6-2). He only gave 10 to Murray and 7 to Youzhny, both much better players than Schuettler, and neither physically drained.
Unfortunately for Schuettler, Nadal is utterly merciless. He always plays 100%, and even when well ahead doesn't let up an inch. If you want proof of this, go find a recording of him bagelling his friend/mentor Carlos Moya at Roland Garros. Utterly, completely, brutal.

Well HeeHaw, I've taken your points into consideration and I concur....I put down some dough on Nadal to win 3-0, for him to win the first set, and -8 1/2. So I'm banking on him winning....tonight's a big night....
