1/100, 1/66, 1/50. Just not worth backing. They are the odds offered in these first couple of rounds at Wimbledon in some instances such is the gulf between the worlds elite and the 'also rans'. Set, total game, correct match score and total game betting offer 'value' backers with some solace.
Looking beyond the matches involving the likely winners of both the men's and women's tournament however does offer some value in the match markets. We've studied the form and history to come up with our selections for day two of Wimbledon seeking to find a range options for you to back.
The winner of the match between Adrian Mannarino and Irishman Conor Niland will face Swiss supermo Roger Federer in round two. Mannarino goes into the contest as favourite and should have too much for the World Number 184 from Limerick.
World Number 21 Nikolay Davydenko seems overpriced (7/5) against the 18 year old Bernard Tomic. Davydenko is far better on other surfaces however the 5 ft 10 Russian should provide tough opposition to Tomic who exited in the first round 12 months ago.
Bulgarian Number 1 woman Tsvetana Pironkova looks a huge price against 18 year old Italian Camila Giorgi (177 in the World Rankings). We think the Plovdiv based player should win this contest in straight sets. Klara Zakapolova also beats Emily Webley-Smith 2-0. The Czech player reached round four last year and will be looking to dispatch Webley-Smith (ranked 247) comfortably.
