Wimbledon ladies 1/4 finals

Daily Result: £158.45

Women's quarter finals day at Wimbledon. Prefer to trade men's matches so it was the first time I'd had more than a quick look at a women's match this Championship. Obviously been reading about the players and matches but always a bit wary when I've not seen the games and player's form for myself.

Started with the Sharapova v Dementiev match. Pova pulvarised her. Though to be fair Dementiev never gave up and did launch a mini comeback from two breaks down in the second before losing in straight sets.

Went for a cuppa and some toast and missed the start of Li v Clijsters which I thought could be interesting. Clijsters had broken in the 1st game and was already very short so messed around picking up a tick or two while waiting for the Mauresmo v Myskina match to start on the other side.

She may be the no. 1 but recently, especially after her performance at the French, you can't help but wonder if Mauresmo will bottle it when the winning line is in sight. And with Myskina. Well, a bit like Tursunov, you just never know which version of her will turn up. So it had the possibility to be a cracker.

It was a poor start though. Rubbish in fact. Mauresmo did her best to hand the first game to Myskina through a mixture of double faults, crap volleys and over hits. But not to be beaten Myskina showed that whatever Maursemo could do she could do better - and lost her first service game to love. To be fair they did then settle into it, there were some decent rallies and I traded most the three sets before having a break.

Had a go at the Surrey v Sussex Twenty20 match in the evening. Not very successful. Had to bail from too many losing trades. Still, made a small profit but nothing on the scale of the last few matches I'd done. A green's a green though and it all helps pay for the big day.
