It's been a tough couple of days to find potential winners in the world of tennis as the Grand Slam at Wimbledon fast approaches. Some players may already be looking ahead to that event which begins on Monday so I would not be surprised if there are some 'tanks' as people dont want to waste too much energy with such a big tournament coming up.
Therefore I only have had a couple of picks so far this week and am only playing a 1 unit treble for today.
Eastbourne
TREBLE: Kevin Anderson vs Gregor Dimitrov, Petra Kvitova vs Ekaterina Makarova and Sam Stosur vs Bojana Jovanovski: This is not the easiest treble in the world, but I really feel all 3 players are good enough to get through their individual matches.
Kevin Anderson proved at Queens that he has all the tools to be an effective grass court player and I think he will have the edge solely because his serve is a little more dependable than the talented Bulgarian's. Dimitrov is still learning his trade on the main ATP Tour and I think this is a tough match up for him.
Petra Kvitova is one of the up and coming stars on the WTA Tour and has shown she can play on the grass after making the Semi Finals of Wimbledon last year. Makarova is the defending Champion so this wont be easy, but I feel Kvitova has too much talent for her.
Sam Stosur has one of the best serves on the Women's tour and I expect that will give her the edge over the talented young player from Serbia. Jovanovski has pushed players in matches this year, but I think Stosur will be too strong as she looks to go better than her Semi Final here last season.
MY PICKS: Kevin Anderson, Petra Kvitova and Sam Stosur @ 3.13 Pinnacle (1 Unit)
WEEKLY UPDATE: + 5.16 Units (+ 0 Units yesterday)
