HEATHER WATSON avoided making it a clean sweep of failure for Britain's women on day one of Wimbledon and she resumes against Caroline Garcia today in a final-set decider.
Watson is out to 23-20 at Betfair to make round two while her French opponent is 4-5 at Unibet. Another home favourite, Laura Robson, is badly short of match practice after a long injury lay-off and is 9-5 at BetVictor to beat Evgeniya Rodina, the Russian world No.101 who is 9-20 at BetVictor.
Eugenie Bouchard has been playing so badly in recent months she could've passed for a Brit but she was runner-up at Wimbledon last year and is hoping to recapture that form. She is 3-10 at Stan James to see off the world No.117 Ying-Ying Duan who Boylesports make a 29-10 shot.
There's plenty more women's and men's action today at the Championships and don't forget to check out Mr Fixit's Wimbledon preview and bets for the day.
Let's hear all your tips for Wimbers and the day's other sporting action which includes Hull v Salford in the Super League, international cricket, Australian Open snooker and Major League Baseball.

Bonus little bets today:
Rosol 3-0 Gulbis @ 6-1
Rosol 3-1 Gulbis @ 5-1
Not going to pretend I know exactly what’s going to happen here, but Gubis is having a rotten year, and grass is not a surface where he will feel confident about turning his fortunes round. He did beat Stakhovsky and avid humiliation at Federers hands last week, and that’s keeping me from upping my stake on Rosol, but th and big Czech should be the more confident and comfortable of the two, having acquited himself so well having enjoyed the highlight of his career here against Nadal. Should be able to wear an error strewn gulbis down with his heavy, flat hitting. If gulbis serves very well or Rosol doesn’t turn up it may not go to plan, but there’s always a chance of Ernests blowing up whether Rosol plays well or not!

2-0 and a break up against Youzhny. I know De Niro tipped this too so well done matey
Well done back at ya Ad as you were mega strong on opposing him – Youzhny so long a rock and very very good on the grass a few short years ago – sad to see this really – is it just age or as the russian mafia got at him like they did Davydenko (probably the atp’s biggest match thrower ever) and simply telling him when to lose hard to believe his recent results.
Keep the previews going Ad – great to read and hoping for a very profitable tournament :-)
Hope Puig can do the business later today for the win and 2-0 – :-)
Ad,
Robin Haase worth a bet surely?
Not sure Ellis. Encouraging form, but Fallla prob the slightly better grasscourter with some big wins on the surface and a win over Haase last year in Halle in their only meeting. Could be a long one i reckon but not sure how to call it to be honest
id stay away from hasse tbf his form isn’t great at the moment and falla is no walkover
First NFL SS of the season. Gave a bit of a briefing on this the other night and shall do again closer to kick off.
Green Bay Packers -4 @ 10/11 @ BWIN – 11 points
Stretched out to -5 in places and if you don’t have a BWIN account, the next best is -4.5 at PP. Have to go through pre season yet but bar any horrendous injuries on the Packers offensive line, this will stretch out to -6.5/7.
That is scheduled for Sunday 13th September at 6:00PM.
Brilliant stuff AD and De Niro on the Paire pick, that was my big single for today and it was never in doubt, thanks and keep them coming!
Jordan – do you bet on the NFL similarly to the NBA as in a SS and then doubles/trebles on the alternative handicaps or do you have a different system?
Juan very much so mate. It’s where I got the idea of my NBA bets.
b365 have rafa up 2 sets bbc tv have him up 1 set whats agwan?
*was watchin fed… sorry
Istomin 2 sets down…to Ramos?? One of the strangest results so far. Wonder if he will turn it round or if he’s just knackered after a great grass court run last week. Should be easily dominating
Phew Istomin just pulled out. Thank goodness!
More terrific tipping with Tomljanovic AD – great start to the week!

Took a break from mlb over last week after a bad run for me, hopefully back with a winner.
How’s results been with you Dazzler much winners?
Cheers Ad…Haven’t really bet on the tennis before but proving to be a profitable couple of days.
Puig how could you !
Puig 2-0 4/1 lost :-(
Puig to win 2/1 lost :-(
Been a really good couple of days. Congrats on the tips Ad. I’m having a few issues posting here lately, not sure why. Couldn’t get my main Rodinya 2-0 over Robson posted. Hoping some people were on the same thought process.
Felix, there are some site problems at the moment.
T20 blast tonight
Surrey 8/11 – 3pts
Top surrey batsmen – Roy 5/2 – 1pt
Had high hopes for surrey at the start of the tournement however they have not lived up to expectations. Form is important in this competition and they did get an important win on friday night so im confident they can now continue their winning run.
A reason why they have not been as successful as i had thought is because the main man jason roy has been away with england. He is back now and top scored with 60 the other night. Fancy a point on him to top score again.
Late double on the tennis:
Berdych v Chardy
Over 3.5 sets
Sabine Lasicki to win 2-0
2.49/1
Bet365
Can’t see much issues with these – may not be paid out tonight though if Berdych and Chardy go the whole hog.
Rosol 3-0 @ 6/1 :) happy days.
Will post a review of first round once to all done.
Mr F- having some trouble with the site lately. But I’m sure you’ve heard that from others already.
Ad, we know about the problems and are on the case.
I’d be slightly wary of Gadjasova. Dangerous player on grass and as we all know Sabine can go walkies. If Lisicki gets the job done without much fuss in this match she will be trouble this fortnight.
Thanks for the Rosel tip Ad !! 5/1!!
Is wozniacki still struggling with injury still? There’s really no excuse to be losing to saisai zheng on grass or any surface for that matter
Coric to win 3-2 @7.50
Tsonga to win 3-2 @5.50
Querrey to win 3-2 @5.50
0.5pt Trixie
+18.63 pts profit off this bet as Coric and Tsonga both won 3-2 :-)
Hull kr v Salford
Really fancy hull kr tonight they got a really exciting team and been getting good results of late vs Warrington and widnes recently. Salford on the other hand are in turmoil players quitting on them rangi chase having fill in at full back. The handicap for me is too low and is due to fact Salford played well at my wigan boys last week. Salford had the extra impetus in that game with our extensive coach managing and have a load of ex wigan players who would been looking to prove a point.
Tips hull kr -2 at skybet
Also Albert Kelly anytime scorer 6/4 at Ladbroke

Phil, bonkers bet, lovely winner! Did you post that somewhere?
I’m on Kulichkova in play v Wickmayer. A set down, inexperienced and erratic, but so dangerous when it clicks. Wickmayer hardly that steady herself. Could be a swing here. Just shy of 4/1

I actually only posted 2 accas on this site as one didn’t send through when the site was having issues with posts, but I placed the bet and intended it for here so counting as a loss. Think I’ll look at sacking off the accas and stick to the others as I’ve not had much luck with them. If jack sock won it would look very different as he sank 2 bets but hey ho
Wet lettuce…nice! Lucky your bookie voids!
Albert Kelly anytime scorer 6/4 win
Hull kr -2 win
Kelly left it late with a 75 min try to bring up the double nice start to the rugby week
Cheers Ad and Harry.
Yes very lucky as other bookies would of gave it as a loss.
Bet365 very good on Tennis i feel..voiding retirements and also there acca bonus is a plus.
Unlucky for folk on Ramos at 6/1 but super Lucky for me.
Well done all other winners.
Ad, yes mate, second post of this thread.
Cheers for the hull tip leecunliffe. Will be looking out for your other rugby tips.
Cheers Dk I don’t post everyday just if something stands out and whenever Kelly is odds against he is worth a bet and think kr was underestimated as they played challenge cup tie but that was last Thursday where they won third game on bounce, at 26-10 to kr it looked a shoe in but fair play to Salford they hung in well, hoping Wakefield get given 16 2moro as new coach seems to have toughened them up
