After a couple of stunning upsets, there are two unseeded players and a #21 seed in the women’s semifinals. Venus Williams lost a shocker to 82nd-ranked Tsvetana Pironkonva in the quarterfinals. Williams had reached the final eight of the past ten years and has won the tournament five times.
Match length has suddenly become an issue of concern for Wimbledon bettors. Roger Federer played a draining five set match in his opener, and had to come from way behind to win it. His second rounder was only slightly easier – he won in a tie-breaker in the fourth set in a very spirited match. [...]
Wimbledon equals Williams on the women’s side. One of the Williams sisters has won in each of the last three years and in four of the last five tournaments in London. The sisters faced off in the final in 2008 and 2009, with each of them winning one title. The two make an appearance in [...]
Roger Federer enters this year’s tournament with a chance at tying Pete Sampras’ record seven Wimbledon titles. The Swiss is one of the top players – if not the best – on grass court, and is favored to win this year.

For casual tennis bettors there is no better time to get into the sport and make some money. If you aren’t a regular tennis [...]
There’s a lot going on in the world today, so let’s touch on a bunch of it briefly: Aroldis Chapman – This is the Cuban left handed pitching savant who defected from the Cuban national team while at a tournament in the Netherlands this week. The hype is huge on this guy – they are [...]
I really don’t understand the Bucks. They traded away Richard Jefferson, so they have a lack of scoring to make up. They drafted a point guard, so they have some depth there. So what did they do? Offered a contract to their free agent point guard and not the solid scoring threat. Ramon Sessions will [...]
It was a game full of drama for the Yankees yesterday against the Mets. First, Chien-Ming Wang got the start, and he wasn’t a disaster. He allowed two runs in just over five innings. That’s not great, but it’s a heck of a lot better than he has been in a long while. Could this [...]
