Wimbledon Contest 2018 - Women's Singles

[yisman]

My bracket had Petra Kvitova vs. Sloane Stephens in the final. I'm done. You can stick a fork in me and apply the BBQ sauce! Is there a second chance bracket like they have with the NCAA Basketball Tournament?

I need a second chance bracket too.

Doesn’t really apply to ‘tennis’ as a whole, but does apply to the WTA.

Serena Williams a joint favourite now with Muguruza, closely followed by Kerber, Halep and Wozniacki.

How many of these 5 lose in the next 2 rounds? I'm setting the line at under/over 1.5

0 will lose next round

kerber could lose to osaka 3rd round wozzy to radwanska

[pabonaparte]

My bracket seems to agree with you, cincinnatikid513!

I have Serena winning 2 more then losing to Keys.

I have Kerber winning 2 more then losing to Muguruza, who then loses to Halep!





And I feel Wozniacki is going all the way just like England in Russia!

I thought better of it. Let's make it 'How many of the 5 favourites lose in the next 2 rounds?' with a total of 0.5

Is Under still the way to go?

like to see madison keys win it all

[shari91]

Venus is looking pretty good. Dropped a bit in the first set but she really bounced back in the second and third. I need her to make up for some of the other flakes I picked.

[cincinnatikid513]

wozzy serving stay in match

[cincinnatikid513]

make that 5-5 , would hate see wozzy out

So out of five, two played and only one advanced. This is insane. Thanks for playing, pabonaparte!

20 of the 41 entries have lost their champion, wowzers

The winner could come out of left field..I would like to see someone win their first grand slam title..

maybe it will be venus williams again, it's been a while since she won

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I'd love to see Venus win another major before she retires. I do no think Serena will win. Muguruza and Kerber might be the ones to beat now. I wouldn't mind seeing Keys take it down.

I would've taken over .5 given what we've seen in past days, but I'm too late.

As for Venus, I'd be shocked if she won another major. More likely Tiger Woods wins a major, IMO.

[beefcake]

Thats a good bet Yis..Who wins one first..you should book that LOL

Tiger -175..Venus +130

[beefcake]

Well shit I got Kerber vs Venus I think in final..With my gambling luck Kerber goes down tomm maybe.Hope Not!!

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Thats a good bet Yis..Who wins one first..you should book that LOL

Tiger -175..Venus +130

odds on Tiger would be much chalkier IMO

[shari91]

As happy as I am that I didn’t get sucked in by Wozniacki again, I’m starting to think I should’ve just picked Serena and been done with it. All these women out by midway through the second round ffs!

I don't believe it works quite like that. To prove it, here's another opinion: Johanna Konta won't play her best because of the circumstances. Unlike the robotic, ruthless likes of Nadal, Sharapova or Serena, Konta is a nice girl. In the back of her mind, she remembers how unfortunate Cibulkova was to end up with her current draw. She may even feel sorry for her opponent who is, and quite rightully, very pissed off by the creative seeding courtesy of LTA who chose to give world's number 480 Serena Williams a better seed and apparently, Cibulkova was the one who got the worst of the shift that occured because of this decision.

For her sake, I hope Johanna saw a specialist and taught herself to remain calm regardless of how grand the stage is. Can she demolish her opponent in straight sets like the current line indicates? I believe a scoreline of 7-5 7-6 or even 4-6, 6-4 6-3 is far more likely. If you want a punt, try Cibulkova +1.5 sets or over 20.5 games. She is +4.5 on the Games handicap which pays less but provides insurance for the somewhat likely 6-4 6-4 for Konta. I see a competitive match where the London crowd goes mad for her but it hurts Konta more than it helps.

I guess sarcasm goes over your head

[pabonaparte]

On a side note... what the hell, Marin Cilic

[pabonaparte]

I guess sarcasm goes over your head

lol I just really want Konta to win

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Konta has lost her mojo the past year or so.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

nice to see Bethanie Mattek-Sands playing doubles here at Wimbledon after that gruesome injury last year.

[Alright Alright]

Dear Shari91 - I'm really looking forward to your United States Open Tennis contests! Can I go ahead and send you
the 20 points entry fee for both the men and women? Thank you very much for running the Wimbledon challenges for us!

[Alright Alright]

Odds on Tiger would be much chalkier IMO

Tiger Woods is 25 / 1 to win The British Open Championship. I'm not sure if that is chalk?

Tiger would be chalk on a bet of him vs. Venus to next win a major.

if venus is going to win a slam it's this one
