Re: Wimbledon 2006 Federer has got an extremely tough draw, I wouldn't want to be backing him at 1.57 now. Gasquet has been playing solidly all week in Nottingham, and will be well tuned for their 1st round match.
Henman is one of very few players with a winning record against Federer, and has beaten him at Wimbledon, and has shown a marked improvement in his game at Queens - though he rarely maintains this for more than one set.
It would be a massive upset if he were to fall early, but he has complained about being fatigued recently, and dropped a lot of sets in Halle to players that he wouldn't expect to.
I wouldn't be lumping on him at those odds. |
