Well, this will going to be a game between two in very good form players, both Vera Zvonareva and Maria Sharapova are playing some great tennis these days and IMO we should see nothing else than just some high quality tennis in this semi-final. Now, speaking about the odds before this game, Maria Sharapova is rated as the favourite of this game and certain here I just have to disagree. Maria Sharapova is not a better player than Vera Zvonareva who and she also do not have any advantage in terms of style against Vera. There are no doubts that in a game like this one everything is very possible as both players are in great form, but the value goes on Zvonareva's side as she just can't be underdog here. Good Luck!

Well, this will going to be the second semi-fianl of this tournament and the situation is a litter bit different than in the first semi-final. Jelena Jankovic is the underdog here, not by much but by just enough I will say as Andrea Petkovic possess qualities which Jelena do not possess. Andrea Petkovic can play some great tenni into attack, she can hit some very nice winners, thing that for Jelena is quite difficult every time she tries to be aggressive. There are no doubts that Jankovic possess a great defence and that she can force her opponent into errors, but I will say here with all the confidence that Petkovic's attack is enough for a defence like Jelena's. Petkovic should dominate this game as she will be the player who will try to take into control the game. All in all, Petkovic is in a great form right now while Jankovic still didn't showed a very impressive stability in this tournament. Good Luck!

Well, from two sisters Serena and Venus I will say that it is Venus who is still not playing closed to her real level. Venus had some real problems against Kimiko Date-Krumm, a game that has proved Venus instability as she has won more due to her mental advanateg against Kimiko Date-Krumm. Well, today Venus will play against Tsvetana Pironkova, the opponent who has created a lot of troubles last year here at Wimbledon as Tsvetana Pironkova has won against Venus with a score of 6-2 6-3 and did looked from all the points of view just the better player on the court. Tsvetana Pironkova didn't played with a good form for a long period, but certain here at Wimbledon she did started again to repeat what he did last year. Tsvetana Pironkova is a great defender and playing against Venus who is not at her best could result a high number of unforced errors at the end which IMO should have the most important word in this game. Good Luck!

Marion Bartoli is in a great form at the moment, his form is getting better and better and of course that in the same time there appear another level of confidence and self believe, two things very important when you especially play against players like Serena Williams whose only name can decline from you're confidence that you will going to be the winner at the end of game:). Well, Serena and Venus are the best players ever on grass and there can't be any doubts about that, but lets not underrate the daily things and changes which speak only for Marion Bartoli's name. Bartoli's form is much better than Serena's ones and IMO this is a very important aspect as Serena is still not playing her best tennis without any doubts, of course that she tries the impossible to defend her title here, but still facts are facts and IMO having such great odds on Bartoli's side, a player in a better form and who can compete very well from the class point of view against any top player, these odds sure represents some nice value, more than that when we know that Bartoli is the player who not only can defend very well, but also can dominate from the attack point of view the game, thing that will decline from Serena's chances to attack and to take first the initiative. Good Luck!

I always has been saying that players like Robin Soderling, Juan Martin Del Potro are the most dangerous opponents for Rafa Nadal because the more stronger you're attack it is the more real chances you'll have against such a great defender like Rafa. The spaniard did won Wimbledon last year and being the defender champoin he should have plenty of motivation, anyway Rafa in every game is very motivated, but in this one only the motivation could not be enough as he will have to past a real difficult task. Del Potro is the player who still didn't achieved anything special in 2011, but if to draw some more attention to his latest games, then I could say that he did increased his level of form in a meaningful way. Del Potro has never been the best grass-courter, but the way he has played till now at Wimbledon speak about some essential improvement and here I mean the improvements certain on his pace and net play. Playing on thw own serve Rafa should be much more under pressure as he could face more difficulties due to his not so great serve and lack of flat shots. All in all, Rafa is still not playing his best and his most stable tennis for a quite long period already, even if he has won the French Open, his stability is not the same as it was in the past, maybe that will change in the future, there are no doubts, but certain is that at the moment there is sense to go against him. Good Luck!

Well, pick of the day for me as this will going to be a game between two clear different players style. The first one can play his best tennis on grass as he possess all the qualities: serve, aggresiveness, power, great touches at the net and also a stable play from the baseline. The second player is a pure clay-courter whose best parts of the game are: a very stable baseline play, can cover the court and read the opponent's intenions. So, as you can see Tsonga has some very essential advantages on grass against Ferrer, there are no doubts that Ferrer is a better defender than Tsonga, but certain on grass this aspect won't help too much for sure. In this game there will all be about the stability on the serve where Tsonga has the edge, break chances will come in time, important is to hold your serve stable, thing that Tsonga can do the best one. All in all, David do not possess any real dangerous weapon on grass and being only stable from the defence point of view would not help him. The best value! Good Luck!

Well, Lukasz Kubot has been the nice surprise till now here at Wimbledon, but looking from another angle at his "surprises" I will say that he had some luck to play against players with name but which haven't played at their best level. Lukasz Kubot defeated Ivo Karlovic and Gael Monfils, both haven't played at their real level. Of course, there can't be any doubts about Lukasz Kubot's form at the moment, but lets not forget that class difference is a very important aspect in a game of tennis. Kubot's opponent is nobody else than Felciano Lopez, the player who has showed and impressed a lot here at Wimbledon, Felciano defeated Andy Roddick in a game where he has served very well and also he did looked ok from the baseline. Felicano's backhand has been worked very good so far, that is the good sign and IMO this time is the perfect one to trust Felciano and go on his side as there is all about his form which is very good at the moment. There is a essential difference in class between Felciano and Kubot, so being in a good form the spaniard should be in control for this one. Good Luck!

Well, I remember very well the last game between these players, the game from last year at French Open when Richard Gasquet was leading by two sets and has lost at the end. In that game Richard Gasquet had some healthy problems as otherwise he should had been the winner. Ok, that game was at French Open and has been played on clay, now we have a different situation as the surface differ a lot from clay to grass. Gasquet is a great clay-courter, there are no doubts about that, but on grass his level is not the same, in terms of rhythm and peace he should face some dificulties against a player like Andy Murray. IMO, this game should be a battle between Gasquet's attack and Murray's defence which if to speak certain on grass Murray has clear the essential advantages. I agree that Gasquet has been very impressive in the latest period, but every single game is a new task and playing against a much more difficult player and besides that on grass the frenchman should rather face some real dificulties. Good Luck!

Well, this will going to be a game quite difficult for both players. As a player, Frenando Verdasco possess without any doubts better qualities but if we take a look to his form from 2011 then things change a lot. Verdasco didn't impressed at all in 2011, his form hasn't been good at all, when he is on court the are so visible his so often periods of lack of concentration. On the other hand, Radek Stepanek is a player who can play some nice tennis on grass, his attempts at the net have some good effect on this surface.

Stepanek is the player who has been clear much more stbale on his serve so far if to compare with Verdasco's record from this point of view. As I have mentionated Verdasco is a greta player who possess much better qualities than Stepanek, but as long as he is still continue to play so unstable he will always be in trouble.

Of course that this could be Verdasco's day, but in tennis much more important are the stability and form than the pure talent which can nothing to do without a good form. Good Luck!

Well, these two players will play for the first time here at French Open. Andy Murray still have the ankle injury opened and that could affect him today as game after game this problem could be more serious. Rafael Nadal didn"t started too well this year his best tournament French open, but after his game against Robin Soderling he has showed that he is back in action as he has played much much better than in his first games. Well, speaking about the difference in style between thesee two players because IMO certain this is the most important aspect here, I just have to mentionate that Murray do not possess any dangerous quality against Rafa, Andy is a player who can defend very well, but when it comes to attack he is nothing else than just a medium player. On clay, Andy will alaways have very few chances against Rafa as the spaniard is the best defender in the world and only by being stable from the baseline you just can not have some real chances against a player like Rafa. All in all, Rafa has some very clear advantages in style against Andy, so he should be all in control for this game. Good Luck!
