I honestly don't remember if I said anything on Konta? Or debating it? Maybe crossed lines here?
Anyhow, the forum is here for people to deliberate and debate so I'm totally relaxed about opposing opinions. It's important to have opinions debated because that's where any view will be re-enforced or changed.
Tend to be slightly sanguine on the latter stages of a grand slam. But looking forward to today's women's final.

I had written her off as tournament favourite, and was staggered at her favourtism to beat Venus
Would you say there have been more inaccurate pre match prices this year than in previous years, and if so what do you think would be the reason for that?
Courtsiding is supposed to be banned within Centre Court, ie no wi-fi/network signal, but there's clearly a way round it.
Not all in-play markets have the same delay, so perhaps some BF insiders are able to give themselves a smaller delay or even no in-play delay?
When I've studied courtsiders, I've noticed that they anticipate points rather than wait till one is over. The same thing happens in racing. I've seen a horse backed into 1.01 while three furlongs out. I was there watching the race and the market.
So it's become a game of out anticipating each other. This can give the impression that somebody is somehow in front of the clock. I did see the hawk eye monitors trading once though, which I thought was surely against their terms of employment. No idea if it is still happening. Afterall they would get to see the decision before anybody else.

I have also seen Sky people trade, which is clearly against there terms etc.
Maybe it's stopped.. they don't like u talking about it.

Huge advantage if they get to view all close shots on hawk-eye BEFORE they are even challenged. Could be them or perhaps someone in the press centre where they have feeds and fast internet. Someone definitely still has a decent speed advantage...
Life-long fan puts £50,000 on Roger Federer to win men's Wimbledon title - and his girlfriend doesn't know

Not sure that the bet was a good idea. Federer's fantastic but he's past his prime. Cilic's at peak age and in peak form...
