Popping my Covers cherry with this post. I usually use this site for picks and to help me reinforce my own opinion, so I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to posting. However, Wimbledon is my favourite time of the year so I thought I'd throw in my two bob's worth of an opinion.
Hewitt v Wawrinka @ 2.44 (Betfair) 2U to win 2.88U
Being an Aussie, my heart tells me Hewitt naturally. I followed Stan closely during the clay season and he really impressed me. He will definitely make a push to be at London at the end of the season. Hewitt was good at Queens, but he has often done well there and then come to Wimbledon and flopped. What has really won me over is the fact he has been hitting up with Federer this week, and I was reading that Hewitt was hitting the ball better between the two during an exhibition like match in front of fans (all be it, it was just a practice session). His body seems to be holding up well, touch wood, and I would assume that this could be one of his last visits to SW19 so he will be really pushing to make it to a possible 4th round encounter with Rafa

Donskoy +4.5 @ 1.80 (Sportsbet)
Isner hasn't impressed me for a while, and the fact that he lost to Donskoy last week at s-Hertogenbosch definitely makes me lean towards the upset in this one. Isner failed to break him at all in their 3 setter last week, so I'd expect a couple of tie breaks in this one. If Isner does win, I can't see him winning more than 2/3 games more during the match
Istomin v Seppi Over 38.5 @ 1.66 (Sportsbet)
These two played first round last year as well, and I think from memory Istomin got up 8-6 in the 5th (don't quote me on that). They met earlier in the year in the 2nd round of the Aus Open as well, which was another five setter with 3 tiebreaks. As long as this goes to 4 sets I can see the over being hit pretty comfortably
Murray v Becker Under 30.5 @ 2 (Sportsbet)
Putting the draw aside, this year is another good chance for him to finally break the drought at Wimbledon for the British. He made the final last year, won the Olympics soon after and recently won Queens against an in form Cilic. Knowing that week two will be tough on his legs, I can't see him not coming out all guns blazing to make sure this is a quick and easy 3 set win.
.5U @ 5.98 to win 2.49U
