Don't know if this is the right spot for it or anything but if I may be so bold I have a small tip for yous. Some of you may or may not know that I run a pub in Wimbledon for my sins. Well.....tuther day a girl who works for us part-time and also works in the letting dept of an estate agents over the road that deal in all the best properties (its a mega-expensive area) got a visit from Mark Phillipousis in the flesh. Nothing too unusual about seeing all the top players over during the next few weeks but it turns out Phillipousis is over early this year as he feels he has a right old chance on his favourite surface. He's been practicing hard on the grass for weeks now and didn't concern himself at all with his clay-court stuff.
Anyways he rents out a house at 5k per week (that isn't a misprint) and cracks on with himself. Once again this is a regular sort of price and carry-on, they bring their families, coaches etc etc over aswell. I've checked it out on the old Betfair and he can be backed at a shade over 100/1. My tip, back him before the tournament begins, (say £20 at 100/1). If he reaches the quarters and comes into say 10/1, offload £150 and sit back. If he gets beat, (and lets face it he probably will) you are £130 infront. If he wins you are £500 infront.
Obviously, if he gets beat in the first round then I will immediately switch addresses so as to avoid getting lynched by the newkit massive.

Hold onto your cash and horses, the useless, dumb, fecker has gone and got injured. Typical. See what happens when you put your faith in an Aussie? Now I know how Rafa felt. (As it happens we've got a load of 'em at work and their good people as it goes. Must be just the prima-donna sportsmen that are as soft as sh!te.

Unfortunately, the cricketers of course are like granite and never get injured. Makes you sick just thinking about it.
