Tennis Picks 2016 (June 19th)

This has been a terrible week for the tennis picks, but I have to question whether I've had much luck when clear opportunities are missed by the players I have backed.

Roger Federer might been beaten in his Semi Final with Alexander Zverev, but he had break points in the first and third game of the final set and taking one of those might have changed the entire finish of the match.

Even more frustrating was Coco Vandeweghe getting into a 62, 21 position with the break and later missing a 62, 33, 15-40 position to really take the match by the scruff of the neck.

Frustrating times to say the least.


Andy Murray - 2.5 games v Milos Raonic: There has never been a five time winner of the event held at Queens club in West London, but Andy Murray is on the brink of making history. He is once again in the Final of an event he has used to prepare for Wimbledon since turning professional and Andy Murray is the favourite to beat Milos Raonic who is playing in his first Final here.

On the face of things you would think Raonic would be perfectly suited to grass and he is a former Wimbledon Semi Finalist. However the reality has been a player that has struggled for consistency on the grass and bringing in John McEnroe to his team should have its benefits going forward.

The Canadian has a huge serve which can make him very difficult to play against on a surface like grass, but he isn't always at his best trying to follow that up. Now he will also be facing a player that is an exceptional returner of serve and who will make Raonic earn some of the games that he would usually come through with a number of unreturned serves or producing aces.

It can build pressure and frustrate Raonic and I think Murray will be too good in this one as he beats the Canadian for a fifth time in a row.
