In the Men's Event, I have gone with Stan Wawrinka at 20/1 & John Isner at 150/1. Both are in the other half from Djokovik so have an improved chance. Isner has to play Federer in Round Three but if anyone can beat Federer at this stage, it is Isner, particularly on these courts.
In the Women's Event, I go with Lucie Safarova at 66/1 and Belinda Bencic at 25/1. Safarova has got the perfect draw & avoids Williams until the final. Bencic is in Williams' quarter but Williams has potentially a tough route through to the final with Sloan Stephens and Radwanska as obstacles before Bencic & Sharapova.
Hopefully these four will give us a good value for money run.
Day One
Bencic won her opening match 6-1 6-2 against Karatantcheva - a comfortable win.
Safarova, Isner & Wawrinka are all in action on the Louis Armstrong court today.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
