Fededer is by far the most likely winner of the Men's Championship at Wimbledon. However, he has missed Halle (his normal prep. tournanment for Wimbledon) and, since the Australian Open, has not looked quite as formidable as he normally does. Against this, he will undoutebly raise his game for Wimbledon, as it is a Major on his favourite surface grass.
There is a chance, due the lack of preparation, that he could suffer an early defeat. If not, he is likely to meet Roddick in the Semi-Final. Roddick has a easy quarter and it would be a big surprise to see him not reach the Semi-Final. He won his prep. tournament and seems to be thriving underr new coach Jimmy Connors.
If/when Rodicck reaches the semi-final, a decision can be taken whether to layoff part or all of the stake. Roddick has a terrible record against Federer, so if both do reach the Semi-FGinal it would seem prudent to at least lay back the stake.
The other half of the draw is much more competive - there are 4-5 playesr who could reach the Final. There is an argumanet to be made for backing one of these players E/W (due to the lopsided nature of the draw), but it is tricky to pick the correct player.

Interesting... you don't fancy Djockovic? However it's spelt, it seems like he's the popular outsider pick this year.
Cant really follow your logic there, surely a lay of Federer is the correct play for this scenario.
Prekladatel.
Djokovic is definateyl one of the better outsiders - I'd not put anyone off backing him at. However, at 20-1, I'd rather have Hewitt or Roddick though.
Berydch is a classy performer with undoubted ability. In the other half of the draw to Federer and with a winning record against Nadal he is worth a punt at 40s
