The first quarter of the draw is the top section of the draw, where Juan Martin Del Potro, in the absence of Rafael Nadal, is the top seed, and at the moment it looks the weakest.

Bet365 offer markets on the winner of that quarter of the draw as well as the other quarters. And this quarter, with Del Potro, is looking quite weak with Nadal's absence.

Here are the odds to win that quarter of the draw, all odds are from Bet365 who will be providing a live stream of over 200 Wimbledon matches. 

To win a 'quarter' at Wimbledon is basically to become a semifinalist.

1.   Andy Roddick, 1/1
2.   Juan Martin Del Potro, 2/1
3.   Lleyton Hewitt, 8/1
4.   Dmitry Tursonov, 16/1
5.   David Ferrer, 18/1
6.   Nikolay Davydenko, 20/1
7.   Radek Stepanek, 20/1
8.   Tomas Berdych, 20/1

Tursonov, Hewitt, Ferrer, and Davydenko should be thrown out of contention for the semifinals straight away.

Tursonov has faded this year in Grand Slams, not making it past the first round in the Australian or French. 

Hewitt isn't a terrible pick but he's contemplating retirement sooner or later and he hasn't been to the semis since Wimbledon 2004.  He's got the big recognizable name, but don't bet on ghosts. 

David Ferrer has only made one Grand Slam semifinal in 26 attempts and that wasn't at Wimbledon and it wasn't just yesterday either.

Davydenko, the 12 seed, looks like he has been given an absolute gift to make round 3. Davydenko draws Daniel Evans in the first round, a Brit who is making his Wimbledon and Grand Slam debut. After that Davydenko should play either Bjorn Phau or Victor Crivoi.  Neither of those two players has ever won a match at Wimbledon.

Whoever makes the round of 32 out of that micro-section will likely face Tomas Berdych, the 20 seed.  Berdych looks really good for the round of 16 and might be positioned to run to the semis from that point with a bit of luck.

It's certainly not probable that he will make the semis, with Roddick and Del Potro in the section, but priced at 20/1 it looks like a smart small bet to take. With his draw Berdych might be more accurately priced to make the semis at 8/1.
