about my desire to bet on the French Open.  I chose Jankovic and Federer to win.  Well Jankovic got to the semis and Federer got destroyed by Nadal in the final.  I would have lost, saying that, I think I'm going to take the jump for Wimbledon.  Nadal has +800 odds!  I understand Nadal demolished Federer on clay, which is his premier surface but Nadal has reached the last two Wimbledon finals and sure Federer has a 5 year win streak at the All-England Club but he's having a down year and that beating at the French had to weigh on his confidence.  My pick to win, Nadal over Federer.  Also, I'm going to for sure put 50 on Andy Roddick, He was playing well before he pulled out of the French (his worst surface) to prepare for Wimbledon.  His odds are +1400, he wins 50 dollars gets me 700.  Great success!

For the women's side, I'll have to wait to see the odds.  The draw is such in flux right now, no one will post odds probably until after the grass warmup tourneys to see who is going to emerge.  My early favorite is Sharapova.  I hate to pick against my girl Serena but Sharapova was also playing impressively before she got on clay.  Don't count on Venus.  I'll have to see the odds.
