Queen's starts tomorrow (Monday).
Andy Murray is the bookies' favourite at an alarmingly short price of 2.66 with Betfair.
Making him fave is probably fair enough but we really don't like that price.
The equivalent of 13/8 is pretty poor given the variables involved - ie first grass court tourney of the year and all the wild results that can bring. We'd advise staying away from that until the price moves out a bit.
Andy Roddick's got a great record at Queen's and is coming off the back of his best ever French Open. Fortunately for his grass court hopes his run wasn't too great though!!! He should have had a few days' grass practice in before he gets under way. He's 4.4 at Betfair. Not a great price. Again, we'd suggest leaving for now.
So, what about outsiders. Giles Simon is 30 with Betfair at time of writing. That is a pretty exceptional price for a number three seed!!! His grass court record is not particularly good but he's been in great form for the past year. He may not win the tournament but we recommend a few quid on him on the basis that if he fulfils his seeding - ie reaches the semi-finals - his price will have come in a long way, giving a great chance to lay him and guarantee a profit no matter what happens.
Feliciano Lopez also offers great value with these tactics at 60.
They're our two to watch this week.
