Wimbledon 2010 Preview

After his absence due to injury from the 2009 tournament, Rafa Nadal will be looking to recapture the Wimbledon men’s title he won in 2008. On clay, Nadal is just about unstoppable. However, on the grass courts defending champion Roger Federer will fancy his chances assuming they both make it to yet another final. It is clear that Rafa and Fed are still the men to beat

For the home fans, the focus will once again be on Andy Murray. After losing to Andy Roddick in last years semi-final, the Scot will be keen to make it to his first Wimbledon final. Murray will surely bag a grand slam title eventually but it will be an uphill struggle to achieve that objective at this years Wimbledon.

In the women’s game, Justine Henin has returned to action after coming out of retirement. This can only be a good thing for women’s tennis. It should also lessen the chances of another singles final featuring Venus and Serena Williams. Kim Clijsters will also be keen to lay down a marker on her return to grass court tennis.

Whoever comes out on top, we can look forward to some great tennis during the next 2 weeks.

Del Potro Triumph Is Good For Tennis

The vast majority of people expected another US Open title for Roger Federer’s collection. His opponent in the final Del Potro enjoyed a great tournament but was not given much of a chance before the match. The Argentinean fully deserved his win but respect must go to Federer who once again accepted the defeat with the grace we have come to expect.

Every grand slam that Federer has played in recent years has been an epic battle. These encounters could go either way and the US Open was no exception. Overall, last year belonged to Nadal while this season Federer has been rejuvenated in the Spaniards absence through injury.

After reaching second place in the men’s rankings, Andy Murray was tipped to do well in his favourite tournament but was sent packing early doors. His season has faded alarmingly although progress has still been made this year.

It made a refreshing change to see a player other than Federer or Nadal lift a grand slam trophy. This bodes well for the future of men’s tennis and makes the sport more competitive and entertaining.

Where Del Potro goes from here remains to be seen. He has often looked dangerous without demonstrating a high level of consistency. This is to be expected with a young player. His immediate aim should be to fight it out with messrs Murray and Djokovic in the World rankings.

Federer Wins A Classic Wimbledon Final

This years Wimbledon was blessed with some fine weather and unusually hardly any rain. The roof on centre court cost millions to construct but was only used on the one occasion. The lack of rain gave the tournament a strange feel but normal service will probably be resumed next year.

There was no real surprise with the women’s final featuring Venus and Serena although it was not the tight contest everyone expected. There were times during the match that Venus looked completely disinterested. Serena brought matters to a speedy conclusion coming out on top in straight sets.

The men’s final featuring Federer and Roddick did live up to expectations. As five setters go this could not have been closer. Roddick is the powerful server although Fed simply oozes class. These two players were like a couple of heavyweight boxers slugging it out. It was not until the final game that Federer managed to break Roddick and secure the gold trophy.

This triumph allowed Federer to break the Pete Sampras record for grand slam tournament wins. The fact that Fed is still only 27 years old suggests his own record may stand for much longer. The way he is playing this year few would bet against him adding to his tally at the US Open.

Generate A Tax Free Income On The Betting Exchanges With Mike Sharman's Tennis Trading System

Mike Sharman’s Tennis Trading System

The global recession has been hitting many people in the pocket for several months. The chance of earning extra cash from a second income is a very attractive prospect. It is a great idea in theory but the only problem is how to go about it. A wise man once said stick to what you know. With that in mind, I have attempted to use my tennis knowledge and passion for the sport to generate an additional income stream.

Mike Sharman’s Tennis Trading System is a complete guide to the Betfair tennis markets. The book contains various bet trading techniques that are designed for a particular type of match or scenario.

After reading the book, I conclude the £30 cost is a reasonable price for something that will make money. The system does contain plenty of trading strategies and food for thought. The only problem I had initially was deciding on which one to use. I was somewhat spoilt for choice with so many techniques to choose from.

I found the ebook quite interesting and should appeal to anyone with a passion for tennis. You are trading the markets instead of betting on them. This means it does not even feel like gambling. I had never bothered much in the past with tennis betting but after reading Mike Sharman’s system I am becoming something of a regular Betfair user.

The obvious question is how much can be made using the information. This depends on several things such as the size of your stakes and the extent of your trading sessions. The methods seem to work as described so that is good enough for me.

I have started off with a relatively small bank of £120 and after three and a half weeks it now stands at £217 and counting. That may not be as impressive as the professionals but I am more than happy with my current rate of progress. I plan on increasing my stakes at regular intervals. Hopefully that will have a positive effect on profits.
