Now that today the tournament is on a break we can start to see who are the frontrunners right now on both sides. There were not that many surprise loss during the first week, rather the bookies misjudged and mispriced some players with good overall skillsets (Bacsinszky, Dustin Brown). Serena and Djoko still the two favourite IMO.

Hmm i would not bet on WTA it has been crazy as i like to bet on favorites and it tends to go to win from the outsiders and i think i should start going another angle and betting on outsider to win, it happens a lot and you should think about it but my bankroll is low so not too sure if i need to bet on outsider and go on a long stretch of loses but still value in long term if you have the bankroll good luck mate have fun betting!

We never know there could be some surprise a bad day from the best palyers or a a player that for one day will play tennis like he never played and beat one good. However for now it is very hard to go against Serena and Djoko.

In the men's tournament it will be very difficult for anyone to be able to beat Djokovic,I have seen him a couple of times and I don't think he has dropped a set yet. Not so sure on Serena though,the women's can throw up a few surprises and she didn't look 100% against Watson.
On the men's side: I like Stan Wawrinka's chances, but I have to go with Novak Djokovic. On the women's side: Both Bouchard and Kvitova's are out so it feels like it's going to be all Serena this year. None of the girls in the draw have the power to match Serena's so winning will be difficult, but not impossible.
I would've liked to see Kyrgios beat Gasquet, but instead he was completly dominated I'm surprised he was able to beat Raonic and then had so much trouble against Gasquet.

Djokovic is definitely not unbeatable this year, but his struggles so far in this tournament came because he was giving away sets as presents to his opponents. I mean two back-to-back lost tie-break? Neither Murray nor Federer will let him crawl back if he get behind again with two sets. Serena going to win no doubt.

I was watching the women's semi yesterday and I was very impressed with the play from Garbine Muguruza.The odds on her are quite good and she has beaten Serena before.It may be a risky bet but I saw enough from Garbine to know that 1-6 odds on Serena is not good enough.
