OlymPICKs IV

Two days in a row of green allow me try something more.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - Novak Djokovic: pick Tsonga @4.32 1 unit
Jo has not a bad head-to-head record against Nole, 6-5 for serbian.
Ok most of Tsonga's wins are a bit old and Nole is younger by 2 years but also recently, at the French Open Tsonga's came close to a win, he wasted even some match points.
Then in the real Wimbledon Jo showed great skill as grass-courter, being weight but even very dynamic, his match were delightful to watch.
Nole seems very far from all this. He's not in 2011, no need to repeat, and he always looks like he's not playing at 100%, he lacks of shape and also I reckon he lacks of will.
Yesterday's first set against Hewitt, was not only a great set by the aussie, but also these lackness that were showing theirself. Then Hewitt 31 years old and hundreds of surgery lowered the tension and even that Djokovic came back for a win.
Today there will be a much different match, balls will be heavier, service games harder to break, a gear shift is needed.
Also the Tsonga +1,5 set looks good but I don't wanto to get too much involved.

I had a thought about Kim to beat Maria, but I'll leave it.
