Re: ATP & WTA Miami,March 25-April 5 Ferrer tb Del Potro @ 5/4 Looks to me like ferrer is getting back to some form.watched his match with cilic last nght,and he was very aggressive and came through in 3 sets.had a good run in Dubai and pushed roddick at IW.overall i think he's a better player than Del Potro who doesnt seem to have a plan B at times.movement wise he is not the best and ferrer could move him around the court. Roddick tb Monfils @ 2/5 Monfils is one of the most frustrating players on the tour.super talented but incredibly inconsistent and struggles mentally at times.a nightmare to back.I had him against Mathieu in Marseille and he won the first set then choked.this week safin had him and had a few set points to finish him which he blew.Roddick is in-form and beat him in Doha this year.also playing at home,i expect roddick to come through.tempted to do roddick 2-0 to bring up the price but might just stick with a straight win.

Re: ATP & WTA Miami,March 25-April 5 Alrite lads and lasses.having a good week so far but the amount of short price favs is making it difficult to back anyone.thats why i hate doing accumulators filled with short priced favourites.cilic had me sweating last night and really could have lost had delic been serving as well as he can.anyway he came through and had a look at todays matches and a few catch the eye: Blake vs Berdych Pennetta vs Mauresmo Zheng vs Cornet Pennetta tb Mauresmo @ 5/6 bookies have both at even prices,but i fancy pennetta to come out on top here.she beat amelie at the US open last year and the Fed Cup last month and has the beating of her on hardcourts.Mauresmo had a mini-revival in paris,but was poor at IW and so have to side with pennetta here.may go the distance though have thought about the other matches.very tempted by berdych as blake is woeful right now and berdych can match anyone on his day(led federer 2-0 at AO).also like zheng and expect her to win but i'm going to do just the one today:pennetta Good luck

Re: ATP & WTA Miami,March 25-April 5 Cheers mate.you win some,you lose some.had a good day though,also had pennetta in the womens draw so took a bit off the bookies.hopefully the luck holds up but at first glance,there are very few evenly priced matches today.having a few punts today on: Wawrinka x Cilic double @ 7/10 Wawrinka beat seppi at IW comfortably and though seppi has a slight lead in H2Hs,mostly were on clay.only one winner here for me Cilic should have too much for qualifier delic.having a good year and could overpower delic here,who has done well but seems to be hit and miss at times. Tipsarevic tb Melzer @ 5/6 one of the few evenly priced matches.could make a case for both as neither are playing great.tipsa had a match here already beating acasuso,and this can sometimes give a player the edge.

Re: ATP & WTA Miami,March 25-April 5 First post lads,couple of tips for tomorrow: Simon tb Hewitt @ 4/6 I think the bookies have made a mistake with the odds here.simon has slightly struggled recently by his standards and lost to Ljubicic surprisingly last week.but he's reached the latter stages of pretty much every tournament he's played.good to see hewitt winning matches again.however,he is struggling against pretty mediocre players.similar styles but i fancy simon to come out on top and will have money on him. Kiefer tb Santoro @ 4/7 had money on santoro yesterday and he came through against bellucci,who in general is a claycourter.very difficult player to play against but kiefer is known as a fighter and pushed an inform roddick at IW.i think if he gets in front,he'll beat santoro.the odds are not fantastic though Dent tb Almagro @ 5/6 bookies cant split these two but i think home advantage can give dent the edge.almagro is a claycourter and has done well in recent weeks on clay.however this is a different kettle of fish.dent played well against mello and has a great chance to beat almagro here.find it very difficult to back almagro on hardcourts Good luck

Re: ATP & WTA Miami,March 25-April 5 Dunno lads,fancy murray to win but thought his price would be a little higher considering verdasco is much improved and has the weapons to hurt murray.Expect a tight match here,so will go for the over/under market: Murray vs Verdasco: Over 22.5 games @ 5/6 (William Hill) Also tomorrows match between federer and djokovic is a certain fed win for me.likely to be a day match and novak is unbackable for me.playing quite well but struggles with the heat and his breathing.if tsonga was on top game he surely would have won the second set last night and it was clear djokovic wasnt up to another set.Fed is not the invincible figure he once was,and lost a set to Roddick but in fairness he's having a very good year and was in his home country so a good win for Federer.Odds a little short but will be definitely on a fed win and possibly 2-0. Federer tb Djokovic @ 2/5 (small punt on 2-0 Federer @ 11/10)
