J.Blake/M.Fish vs M.Damm/R.Lindstedt
My pick is
M.Damm/R.Lindstedt to win
Odds : 2.99
Where : betandwin
2 units to win 3.98 units
Really crazy odds , I am not sure how bookies decided to make Damm and Lindstedt underdogs especially by that much ...
So far they have not been broken a single time in 7 sets , Blake and Fish faced 19 breakpoints in their 3 sets win over Dlouhy and Paes who were only able to convert 3 times , this is very mediocre stat .
Fish and Blake are better players but both Damm and Lindstedt are solid on grass . They decided to partner up this season and already had success winning 2 titles and being runner ups twice .
This should be set at close to even odds , they might lose but at those odds it's worth a try I believe .

C.Kas/V.Troicki vs L.Kubot/O.Marach
My pick is
L.Kubot/O.Marach to win
Odds : - 155
Where : 5dimes
3.87 units to win 2.5 units
Kubot and Marach are ranked # 5 at the moment and have solid results this season , 65-20 record when playing together .
Kas is a solid doubles player but Troicki is pretty mediocre and I am surprised they have made it this far . Tursunov with his buddy Kunitsyn most likely tanked in the first round but beating Melo and Sa looks like a good result even tho brazilians have struggled in the last 12 monthes . At those odds I have to bet on a regular team who are looking for a good result at this tournament after getting upset at French Open in the 2nd round .
I would be shocked if any of those 3 lost ...
Bhupathi and Knowles might drop a set but Amritraj and Qureshi are pretty limited , they have good serve but thats about it , Bhupathi/Knowles are very experienced players and I don't see them losing in this round .
STRONG PLAY

I.Andreev/E.Korolev vs W.Moodie/D.Norman
My pick is
W.Moodie/D.Norman to win
Odds : 1.44
Where : unibet
10 units to win 4.4 units
Like this one ... both Korolev and Andreev are very bad doubles players . Korolev is 0-6 this season in doubles while Andreev is 1-8 . In the first round they had easy opponents who have just entered for paycheck and lost all three sets 5-7 to the russian duo .
Moodie and Norman have just won the tournament in Hertogenbosh on grass , both are very tall , big servers with strong net play . Moodie actually won Wimbledon 2005 with Stephen Huss . Both are playing well on grass and get a lot of cheap points on their big serves .
Andreev also going to play in singles today against Tommy Haas , I think Haas is going to win so Andreev might not be in great mood to play doubles . It shouldn't really matter anyway as Moodie and Norman are clearly better doubles players and unlike clay courts big servers have less trouble with singles players who have entered doubles tournament on grass .
I just hope Andreev does not withdraw from doubles after his match against Tommy Haas because this looks like a good opportunity to win some money .
M.Mirnyi/A.Ram vs S.Aspelin/P.Hanley is lottery , I fancy Aspelin and Hanley to win but this is a close one to make a call , + 110 odds on them are not enough for me to make a bet .
B.Soares/K.Ullyett vs R.Wassen/I.Zelenay no bet , Soares and Ullyett should win but I would like - 200 line and not - 260 here .
