2.   Andrew Murray (89/50)
3.   Novak Djokovic (12/1)
4.   Andy Roddick (12/1)
5.   Ivo Karlovic (40/1)

7.   Tommy Haas (40/1)
8.   Tomas Berdych (50/1)
9.   Robin Soderling (66/1)
10.  Fernando Verdasco (66/1)
11.  Stanislas Wawrinka (125/1)
12.  Juan Carlos Ferrero (125/1)
13.  Gilles Simon (150/1)
14.  Igor Andreev (200/1)
15.  Radek Stepanek (200/1)
16.  Dudi Sela (500/1)

Novak Djokovic hasn't been playing strong enough lately to be considered a serious threat in a tournament that he has never won, especially with an anticipated quarterfinals match against Tommy Haas, who has a recent grass court victory over Djokovic.

Karlovic's serve looks like it will carry him past Fernando Verdasco and it should keep him in an anticipated match against Roger Federer but even at 40/1 it's hard to wager on this player.  Karlovic is one dimensional although he has a killer serve a go od resultfor Karlovic is actually a quarterfinals appearance as opposed to the Wimbledon title.

The best value looks like it is on either Roddick or Hewitt. Roddick is still priced at  12/1 and his draw to the semis looks good with only 20th seed Berdych standing in his way at the moment.

Murray's done well but his competition has been very soft whereas Roddick has put up good numbers, winning over 55% of the points he has played, against pretty strong opponents.

Backing Federer is always wise, but you'll have to go pretty big with your bet to get  4/7 to pay off.
