BRITWATCH IN ANDY MURRAY, ELENA BALTACHA. OUT JOSH GOODALL, DAN EVANS, ALEX BOGDANOVIC, JAMES WARD, LAURA ROBSON, MEL SOUTH, ANNE KEOTHAVONG, KATIE O'BRIEN, GEORGIE STOOP.. Live on BBC1, 1.45pm-6pm; BBC2, 5.50pm-8pm ROBIN SODERLING (13) v MARCEL GRANOLLERS COURT 2, THIRD MATCH AS shock Grand Slam finalists go, Robin Soderling is probably up there with MaliVai Washington as one of the more obscure players of recent times to make it to the final of one the sport's four biggies. The chunky American had his moment of fame at Wimbledon in 1996 when he became the first African American to reach the final since Arthur Ashe in 1975 - he lost to the Dutchman Richard Krajicek in three very one-sided sets. The story was pretty much the same for Soderling last month in Paris, shocking the world by beating Rafael Nadal on clay, before getting thrashed in the final by Federer. Granollers (right) shouldn't provide a problem for him, though. Head-to-head: Soderling 1 Granollers 0 Odds: Soderling 1-20 Granollers 8-1 SAM QUERREY v MARIN CILIC (11) CENTRE COURT, THIRD MATCH SO far so good for LiteBetting's outside tip, Cilic, who won his first round match against Spain's Alberto Martin for the loss of just 11 games. He would have been slightly disappointed at having served only 12 aces, and won only a satisfactory 75 percent of points on his first serve. There is room for improvement, and he will be tested by another big-server in the shape of Querrey. This is one for those who like their points short and snappy. Head-to-head: Never met before Odds: Querrey 2-1 Cilic 4-11 Tommy Haas v Michael Llodra COURT 1, THIRD MATCH WHY is it so hard to dislike German Tennis players? The likes of Michael Schumacher and Oliver Kahn lent themselves to the sort of jingoism we really should be mature enough to ignore by now. By contrast the likes of Boris Becker, Michael Stich and to some extent Haas have been winning friends at SW19 for years. Having taken two sets of Roger Federer at the French, the 31- year-old remains a dangerous floater in the draw. Head-to-head: Haas 3 Llodra 0 Odds: Haas 2-9 Llodra 3-1
