The bottom half (where Djokovic is) looks much the better half of the draw to be in, Nadal is the top seed in the half, although I wouldn't bank on him reaching the semis, and the likes of Federer, Roddick, Murray are in the top half.
May also consider Stepanek, although I'd want a bigger price than what's currently available.
In the women's event, it's hard to see past Sharapova IMO, but the price is far too short on her. Only bet so far for me is Na Li, where someone very kindly matched me @ 95 (1pt). Think the 2nd quarter could be the place to look for possible shocks - the 3 highest seeds in there are in pretty inconsistent form of late (Jankovic, Bartoli, Bammer). Am considering taking Medina Garrigues from there if I can get matched at a decent price (she's gone as high as 150, I'd want a bit higher than that if I can get it), and Hsieh might not be a bad long shot following her excellent performance in the Aussie Open at the start of the year.

is this price @5.5 for djoko to reach the semis?
looks very generous one, i mean i agree with you, that normally shouldnt face serious problems, all players you mentioned are indeed out of form,but tennis is tennis, is a "you never know" sport, may one player wakes up, and destroy everybody
besides, djoko, didnt play any impressive game after australia,but still this bet is very logical and good priced
lets see....
