Special Markets Analysis -Preview of the Wimbledon Fortnight 2011

Straight Sets: Opening Spread 56 - 59
This seems to have plateaued out over the last three years at just over fifty. Perhaps the gap between the top 100 in the world has narrowed and serving is now a major part of all players's games. But this could be the year that it rises again and so 56-59 looks like a buying opportunity.
Our Prediction: 63

Sets Won To Love: Opening Spread 8.5 - 9
With both the balls and courts being potentially slower this year, there is a greater chance that the serve will be less effective and for the returners to shine. This spread could exceed 10 for the first time since the 2006 championship.
Our Prediction: 11

Tie Breaks: Opening Spread 89 - 93
We didn't think that this would make 90 last year, so 97 was a good result for buyers. There were 40 in the first round, when there is supposed to be a gap in class between the players, so the writing was on the wall from then. We think that this will be lower than last time out -somewhere in the mid 80's.
Our Prediction: 85

Tie Break Points: Opening Spread 1075 - 1115
The 2010 total was over 300 points up on the 2009 total -which seems to have been a freak result. There were plenty of high scoring TBs with 5 x 18 points, 4 x 20 and a 22, 24 and 26 to bolster the record total. Actually it could have been higher as there were 100 points that were not counted due to players retiring before their matches were completed. Just under 1100 would seem about right.
Our Prediction: 1080

Shortest Match: Opening Spread 22.1 - 22.6
It's a very difficult market in which to make any decent profit -unless you are dealing in big stakes. Maybe this is one that is best watched. But if we were going to chance our arm we would be sellers.
Our Prediction: 20

Longest Match: Opening Spread 71.5 - 73.5
Any buyers of this market last year might still be living off their winings! If you fancy a repeat of an epic then get buying at 73.5 with Sporting Index.
Our Prediction: 78

5th Set Games- Opening Spread 262 - 272
After last year's marathon match between Isner and Mahut the folks at Sporting Index have priced this market at 262-272, just in case their first round re-match goes the distance! This seems about right as the market should return to normal after finishing at a whopping 462 last time out.
Our Predicition: 270
