As well as an excuse to sit out in the sunshine and enjoy a bowl of strawberries and cream, the Wimbledon Tennis Championships - taking place from Monday (June 29) to Sunday July 12, could be a great way to spice up your week and perhaps win some cash!

Along with Andy Murray, last year's winner Novak Djokovic looks to set the record again this year.

Unfortunately, the odds don't look good for women's singles 2014 winner Petra Kvitová who this week pulled out of the Wimbledon warm-up due to illness.

In an interview with BBC sport, Kvitová said: "I didn't feel well when I came here last Thursday, I had to make this decision.

"I hope to be fine for Wimbledon. I'll stay here in Eastbourne and then slowly move to London."

With last year's winner on shaky ground, the women's singles could be all to play for... So place your bets now!
