PREVIEW
A great day of tennis in store at SW19 with British hopes resting firmly on the shoulders of Andy Murray and Laura Robson.
Robson has faced tough mental challenges in the last two rounds and come through them with a gritty determination and now faces Estonian Kaia Kanepi as she bids to become the first British woman in 29 years to progress past this stage.
The pair have never faced each other but on official ratings Robson is the better player and with the partisan crowd behind her it’s a surprise not to see her trading as favourite on BETDAQ.
Robson is rated 38 in the world whilst Kanepi is 46. But today is more about the mental challenge and whether Robson will use the crowd to raise her game or whether the nervousness of the occasion will get to her. Will the fear of winning be stronger than the fear of losing ?
She has talked about nerves she felt on court but that’s not necessarily a bad thing – provided they are channeled into positive energy.
There’s no great reason why she should fear Kanepi who struggled to get past another Brit, Tara Moore a wild card entry in the opening round.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back LAURA ROBSON to beat KAIA KENEPI at around 2.15 on BETDAQ: 3 points
Sunday: -3.00 points
JUNE RETURN TO DATE: +19.59 points
