If I had my way I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of the clay season as it's definitely nice to have a change of scenery and it's obviously traditional in Europe, but I do generally prefer watching the other 2 surfaces. I'd love the grass season to be extended by another week, but that's for another day.

It's good that there are grass tournaments in other countries other than the UK now. There's always be Halle but there's now Istanbul, Stuttgart and Mallorca for the women.

Edit: Antalya this year not Istanbul. They share the hosting.

Not sure but halep20/1,wozniaki 22/1 with azarenka at 40,kasatkinka 66 with ostapenko is tempting, I think best price is ketber at 7/1 il just stick a few on coupons no value in outright when I bet on other stuff as well.

Aye, just makes it seem more like a proper swing than just a British one. There's that one beginning with H in Holland for the women as well, Hortrenbosch or something like that. Newport for the men anarl, but that happens after Wimbledon so always seems a bit more of an afterthought.

I managed to get 9s for Kerber but just had a look on Oddschecker and she's generally between 6 and 7/1. I do like Kerber, but I think I'd prefer a different winner this time. Ideally a younger first time one (assuming Muguruza keeps up her very modest form these past 15 months), although I wouldn't grumble if £30 came my way. Would be happy if Sloane won as that would be a cool £220 - not happening though.

Just looking at my acca's now. I see Betway have a special, Nadal and Anderson both to win 3-0 (vs Duckworth an Mannarino respectively) boosted from 13/10 to 7/4. That's a very fair price, but not really worth putting just a couple of quid on.

Do you think Murray will get through he is 10/3

Unfortunately not. Wouldn't be too surprised if he even retired mid-match so most bets would be void. It would be great if her could, but just don't see it.

Spoilt for choice here mind, 32 men's and 32 women's matches to pick from - might purposely choose those starting around 3am and checking my balance when I wake up to see if it's won.

Just put mine on now, a 7/1 5 fold (£3 on). I was putting it on and realised that half of them were Tuesday matches, so had to start again. I assume you'll be going for Sharapova-Dart (Eurosport 1) over Watson-Martic (Eurosport 2) at midnight?

Post your re selections yes should be interesting you would get canny odds on a British acca mind.

Cirstea
Jabeur
Putinseva
Vekic
Sasnovich

Didn't really want to put the likes of Martic (vs Watson) or any one else who I'd prefer not to win. Didn't want to put those massive 1/8, 1/10 etc. favourites on either.
 
Change of plan for me. I tried going to bed early to get up early, but I'm just going to stay up for a bit and see what happens. Coffee on the go...

Lump on Chops lad, even just 20p would return over £100 and you'll be feeling really patriotic :p

Sounds good. I've got all my stuff sorted for tomorrow - clothes laid out, gym kit packed, made some sort of breakfast and will be getting up as late as possible.

Dart can't get a first serve in. I'll be putting Boulter on the main screen once this first set is wrapped up. Which it is now, 0-6.

Aye dart on tv, boulter on laptop and verdasco on phone, don't see why they don't they do at Wimbledon

At least you do have the red button channels at Wimbledon and proper online streams rather than bookies.

Is there commentary on the Hills streams @chopsfc007? There's not on the E Player.
