London, England – Day 2 of Wimbledon delivered some of the most exciting tennis action of this season, specifically the Henman vs. Moya match, which following the suspension of play in the twilight hours of Day 1 at 6-3, 1-6, 5-7, 6-2, 5-5, stretched over two days to conclude in dramatic fashion.

Just as pens were poised to write-off Henman, whose legacy at Wimbledon is one soul-shattering dram-edy that spans over a 14-year tennis career, the fifth set turned into a match-within-a-match; an unbearable emotional epic journey that had British hearts sinking and lifting along a wave of scintillating, nail-biting action. Henman amiably traded groundstrokes, lobs, and drop shots, volleying back-and-forth to finally outlast Moya at 13-11.

In terms of matches, Henman vs. Moya was as good as it could get in the first round of a Grand Slam event.

Day 3 of Wimbledon kicks-off on June 27th, 2007, and the competition is getting tighter. So don’t miss out on some of the exciting Wimbledon tennis betting action available at BetUS.com Sportsbook.

Marquee Matchups

Tennis Prediction: – At 6’5”, the young Argentine No. 56 Juan Martin Del Potro would strike an intimidating presence for most players across the net, but on the grand stage of Centre Court at Wimbledon, any threat Del Potro’s may pose is diminished by the enormity of Federer’s presence.

Tennis Free Picks: Federer in three sets.

Tennis Prediction: – After keeping British hope alive at Wimbledon by defeating Carlos Moya, Henman must contend with another Spanish onslaught – No. 78 Feliciano Lopez, who holds a 1-0 advantage over Henman in 2007 on hard.

Following his dramatic victory today, and bolstered by the adoring British fans, Henman just might be carried through to another heart-warming victory. While Henman is favored at -160, betting on him would be more or less a sentimental bet.

Tennis Free Picks: Lopez in four sets

Tennis Prediction: – A straightforward matchup, Haas vs. Zib can only yield one conclusion.

Tennis Prediction: – Another straightforward match for Andy Roddick. Roddick should face no challenge from the No. 114 Danai Udomchoke and merrily skip into the third round.

Tennis Prediction: – Following a shaky first-round match, in which Gonzalez lost the first set before recovering in four sets to take the victory, his second-round match might prove to be a more even contest than the odds would suggest. However, Gonzalez is still a good bet for the victory.

Tennis Prediction: – Queens Club runner-up, No. 77 Nicolas Mahut is a great underdog pick for an upset in the second round at Wimbledon. Following his performance against Andy Roddick at the Stella Artois Championships, where he almost defeated ARod, Mahut has proven to be a valid contender and worth considering.
