Re: ATP Kitzbuhel/LA/Umag 24th-30th July
Sport Tennis Event Kohlschreiber vs Luczak Selection Kohlschreiber to win Strength 10/10 Date 25/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Centrebet @ 1.50 (Back) Reasoning Kohlschreiber has 19-13 record this season. Latelly, he is in a very good form. After quarterfinals of Hertogenbosch and third round of Wimbledon, he played semifinals in Gstaad. On his way to semies he defeated Di Mauro, Novak and Verdasco. On the other side, he lost to Gasquet in three sets. So, he should be in a good form plus he should fell in Kitzbuhel like at home. On the other hand, Peter Luczak is far away from his best form having only 5-8 this season. For example, he was losing against names like Oscar Hernandez, Calleri or Nicolas Lapentti. We have class difference here, and everything except a win for German will be big surprise. 2004 Furth Challenger 32 Clay (O) P.KOHLSCHREIBER 7-5 5-7 6-4 -

Sport Tennis Event Monaco vs Azzaro Selection Monaco to win Strength 10/10 Date 25/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Eurobet @ 1.25 (Back) Reasoning Both guys are borned claycourters. Azzaro has 0-2 at ATP level this season and three losts in a row. In last 30 days he won only against Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo, but lost to players like Minar, Daniel, Hajek, Menendez-Maceiras and last week against Nicolas Devilder. On the other side, Juan Monaco also didn't had his best run at the begining of the season, but at least his last performances are standard. Monaco has 14-15 ATP record this year, which is very good comparing to results he had in first months of 2006. Last week he made a great job reaching qf's of Stuttgart Open defeating Berrer, Vliegen and Melzer. -

Sport Tennis Event C. Rochus vs D. Junqueira Selection C. Rochus to win Strength 10/10 Date 17/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Betfair @ 1.37 (Back) Reasoning Christophe Rochus is at least one class above Diego Junqueira. Rochus played nice tennis at the begining of the yearon hard, than he also played good on clay but suffered injury in second round of French Open. Last week he won against Fernando Vicente 6-1 4-6 6-2 in first round but lost to Gaston Gaudio 6-0 6-4. Now, today he will face up against Diego Junqueira. Junqueira plays quite poor latelly. Diego lost four matches in a row before he won last week against Dawid Olejniczak in three sets. But, one day after he lost to Ilija Bozoljac taking only two sets. Latelly he was losing against names like Jan Hernych, Jiri Vanek, Tomas Behrend, Sergio Roitman etc. I believe Christophe Rochus won't have too much problems today. Junqueira has never won against player of a class Rochus is, and I don't believe today will happen a miracle although Rochus isn't in his life form. -

Sport Tennis Event Gimelstob vs Philippoussis Selection Over 11.5 games in first set Strength 10/10 Date 16/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Paddy Power @ 3.00 (Back) Reasoning First thing when I think about grasscourt is over total games. Of course, it's very hard to break opponents on grasss, especially if their names are Gimelstob or Philippoussis. Now, two very good players will play against each other. H2H stats: 1997 Hopman Cup 1997 Hard (I) J.GIMELSTOB 7-6 4-6 7-6 1999 San Jose QF Hard (I) M.PHILIPPOUSSIS 2-6 6-3 6-7 2000 San Jose QF Hard (I) M.PHILIPPOUSSIS 6-7(5) 4-6 2000 Los Angeles 16 Hard (O) J.GIMELSTOB 3-6 7-6(5) 7-6(3) Obviously they know how to play overs against each other. Odds are set to Mark's side, but I believe this match is totally tied. Both players are in a very good form, I see nothing than at least one tie-break which means over games too. -

Sport Tennis Event Davydenko vs Robredo Selection Davydenko to win Strength 10/10 Date 16/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Ladbrokes @ 1.67 (Back) Reasoning Sometimes Tommy Robredo plays just average but he is winning, sometimes his opponents are better but they just beat themselves. It was like that yesterday against Nieminen. But, I'm sure that it won't be a case today, his opponent will be Davydenko. Davydenko had a great run here in Bastdad. Since the begining of the year he had nice performs at Australian Open reaching quarterfinals, than he was a runner-up in Estoril, quarter-finalist of Hamburg, winner of Portschach Open and quarter-finalist of Roland Garros. On the other hand Robredo was a finalist in Barcelona and winner of Hamburg. But, today will be different story. Robredo already struggled a lot here and Davydenko is in much, much better form, he goes from strenght to strenght every match. H2H is tied 1-1, but Robredo's win is from 2000 and Davydenko's is from 2005. -

Sport Tennis Event Hajek vs Devilder (Poznan challenger) Selection Hajek to win Strength 10/10 Date 15/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Gamebookers @ 1.55 (Back) Reasoning Jan Hajek is in great form! He won here against Hector Ruiz 6-2 6-0, Rainer Eitzinger 6-0 6-2 and in quarterfinals Werner Eschauer 6-2 6-4. He is somewhere between ATP tournaments and challengers, but it's obvious he is too good for most of the chs. Hajek won Braunschweig Challenger, Prostejov Challenger, Barletta Challenger, and was a finalist at Prague Challenger all this year and all on clay. On the other side, Devilder won against Juan Martin del Potro 5-7 6-1 6-0, in second against Jan Minar 6-1 6-3 and in quarterfinals against Flavio Cipolla 6-3 6-3. But, Devilder had no success in first part of the year. Last week he lost to Lamine Ouahab from Algerie?? So, full confidence on in-form Hajek. -

Sport Tennis Event Gabashvili vs Bozoljac (Poznan challenger) Selection Bozoljac to win Strength 8/10 Date 15/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Gamebookers @ 2.00 (Back) Reasoning Second seed Teimuraz Gabashvili will face up against Serb Ilija Bozoljac. The fact is that Bozoljac has won here against better players and easier than Gabashvili. Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili has no major success this year, no success at all I would say. He reached Braunschweig Challenger semifinals losing to Fernando Vicente. But, overall latelly he was losing against names like Becker, Marach, Vicente, Bastl... Well, Ilija is better than them. Still, Gabashivili is struggling here in Poznan. In first round he won against Grzegorz Panfil 6-7(4) 6-2 6-4. In second he struggled again against Vasilis Mazarakis 6-7(3) 6-4 6-1. In quarterfinals he won against totally unknown Gil 6-3 6-1. On the other side Bozoljac defeated Koubek 7-5 6-4, Junqueira 6-0 6-2 and yesterday defeated Galvani 7-5 6-3. This year Bozoljac made a breakthrough in professional tennis. He had some really nice performs during this summer, winning against Pashaski in first round of RG, taking a set against Robredo in second. Also, during this year he defeated Bracciali, Feliciano Lopez, Luzzi, Minar, Gimesltob... Atp level names. So, Gabashvili is playing challenger level more years, but Bozoljac is the one who improves his tennis day by day. And, looking overall he has better results this year and is in better form. For sure, there is a value on Bozoljac @ 2.00. -
Re: Wimbledon (M+F)
Sport Tennis Event Mauresmo vs Ivanovic Selection Over 20.5 Games Strength 10/10 Date 03/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price 10bet @ 1.90 (Back) Reasoning Big game today. It's obvious now that Amelie Mauresmo is underperforming on big tournaments, Grand Slams. She still didn't lost a set, but today I'm sure she will. Abramovic, Stosur and Pratt were very easy opponents for Mauresmo, but now she will face up against much better opponent. Still, before Wimbledon Amelie lost to Dechy in three sets. Ana is still not a world top class player but already she won twice against Maursmo. Cagliardi, Borwell and Safina were defeated on her way to Amelie. Now, it will be difficult task for Ana, but i have no doubts that she will take at least one set here. -

:notworthySport Tennis Event Labadze vs Nadal Selection Labadze to win Strength 3/10 Date 03/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Pinnacle Sports @ 10.75 (Back) Reasoning Interesting match here. Although Nadal is winning here, he still didn't convinced me. He did played good against Alex Bogdanovic, but then struggled a lot against Kendrick who led 2-0 in sets, but managed to lose in five. In third round he just was too good and young for Andre Agassi. But, I expect today him to lose. It was totally visible in match against Kendrick that he isn't a player for grass. Especcialy in first two sets. On the other side, Irakli Labadze well... He was very talented player, and had a lot of prospect until he didn't start to bet against himself, and now he has a second chance. This tournament is great opportunity for him to re-vive gis career. Still, I'm sure that he won't be betting today on Nadal t odds around 1.03. -

Sport Tennis Event Hewitt vs Ferrer Selection Ferrer +2.5 in sets (Asian Handicap) Strength 10/10 Date 03/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Gamebookers @ 1.90 (Back) Reasoning Hewitt played great tennis against Olivier Rochus, but in my oppinion he cannot be able to perform in that way two matches in a row. It would be too much for him. Today, he will face up against David Ferrer. On the other side, Ferrer made a great job beating Fernando Gonzalez in five sets, from 0-2 down. Still, today I'm totally sure that Lleyton won't have easy match today. Hewitt is very unstable, one day he wins in a five sets marathon against Lee, second day he cruises against Rochus. On the other hand, Ferrer is good player, always fights until the end. Total Margin Over 35.5 is set too low, and 1.90 on Ferrer to take at least one set should be very good offer too. Still, Ferrer +7.5 in handicap games is great offer as I just can't see Lleyton winning in three easy sets, three sets at all. -

Sport Tennis Event Bjrokman vs Mirnyi Selection Over 40.5 Games Strength 10/10 Date 03/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Eurobet @ 1.85 (Back) Reasoning THis will be an interesting match. They are doubles partners for a lot of years, they know each other very well. They know advantages and disadvatages of each other. That's the main reason why I think this match will go to at least four sets. Both are without any major success this year and this will be great chance for both to do something more. Mirnyi won here against Ramirez-HIdalgo, Philippussis and Blake, and Brjorkman defeated T. Johansson, Dlouhy and Bracciali. Very inpredictible betting on a winner here, but still, over 40.5 Games. -
Re: Wimbledon (M+F)
Sport Tennis Event Hewitt vs Rochus Selection Rochus to win Strength 10/10 Date 01/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price UKBetting @ 3.50 (Back) Reasoning Nice bet in my oppinion. Lleyton Hewitt was a great player 3-4 years ago, but now... Now, he isn't. Well, he still can compete on grass but it will be more than difficult for him to win today against Olivier Rochus. Hewitt had more than poor season behind him and he won Queen's this year. But, it was against totally umproved players on grass. Vicente, Mirnyi, Nadal, Henman and Blake. He had to play three sets against Vicente, Mirnyi, Henman and Nadal retired to him after second set. Also, in first round of Wimbledon he won against Volandri in three. But, Volandri is more than poor on grass. In second round he struggled against Lee and this was a match where all Hewitt's disadvantages were very visible, finally, Lleyton won 6-7 6-2 7-6 6-7 6-4. Lee just wasn't self-confidence enough, he was unconvincing at some moments and played quite poor in deciding points. Today's opponent of Lleyton is much, much better+grass suits him more. This year Olivier Rochus totally positionated himself in professional tennis. Rochus already won this season on grass against players like Waske and Safin. In third round of Halle he played against grass king-Federer. Federer won that match 7-6(2) 6-7(9) 6-7(5). In first two rounds of Wimbledon Rochus was great. Gilles Muller was defeated 6-4 7-5 6-3, and Tomas Zib 6-1 6-1 6-0. Lleyton Hewitt has weak serve latelly, Rochus is complete player with a lot of running. He won't give up any points. In my oppinion Rochus is totally underestimated in this match. Odds are setted like Hewitt is playing with some 'anti-grass' player who is on 100 position. Stake on Rochus here as he is favourite in my oppinion and odds are too good to miss. -
Re: Wimbledon (M+F)
Sport Tennis Event Ljubicic vs Tursunov Selection Over 40 Games Strength 8/10 Date 01/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Unibet @ 1.80 (Back) Reasoning Ljubicic will have very hard job playing against great server Dmitry Tursunov. After great job on clay and reaching semies of Roland Garros he started playing on grass without too much success. In Queen's he struggled against Sabau and lost against Monfils. In WImbledon he won against Gimelstob in three sets, hard fought, but struggled in five against Felicniano Lopez 6-3 6-4 5-7 3-6 11-9. On the other side, Russian Tursunov likes grass very much. He was a quarterfinalist in Queen's beating Bogdanovic, Udomchoke and Wang. In qfs he lost to Tim Henman. Here in Wimbledon he won Udomchoke and Alberto Martin, both in two. All in all, Tursunov is in better form, he plays better on grass and has almost unbreakable serve, on the other side, Ivan Ljubicic is good player and for sure will look to stay in the match as long as he can. Five sets match in my oppinion. -
Re: Wimbledon (M+F)
Sport Tennis Event Andre Agassi vs Rafel Nadal Selection Andre Agassi to win first set Strength 6/10 Date 01/07/2006 Bookmaker/Price Gamebookers @ 2.35 (Back) Reasoning Great game expected here. Andre Agassi was a winner in 1992 and fourtheen years later he will look to do his best on his last Wimbledon in professional career. Old American veteran had to win against Boris Pashanski in first round and against Andreas Seppi in second. In first round Andre won against Serb Pashanski 2-6 6-2 6-4 6-3, making 17 aces in that match Agassi showed that he still has a very nice serve, his return was very well, only mistake he made is that he had a slow start and made bigger number of unforceed errors in first set. In second round Agassi defeated Italian Seppi 6-4 7-6 6-4. In second match he played very smart, he was the one who made much more mistakes, but still he took the most important points althought the match was pretty tied, he managed to win in three sets. On the other side, Rafael Nadal is of course, one of the best players right now. But, his abilities on grass are very questionable as he mostly claycourter and his style of play is almost totally oposite of a style which is needed on grass. Anyway, his best single's performance at Wimbledon was 3rd round in 2003. Now, he will look to beat American and reach fourth round. Rafa won in first round against Alex Bogdanovic in three, 6-4 7-6(3) 6-4. That match was quite even, Nadal showed more consistancy and expirience during important points, something like Andre did against Seppi. In second round Nadal was very lucky to win against Kendrick in five sets, 6-7(4) 3-6 7-6(2) 7-5 6-4. Well, Kendrick just hadn't enough self-confidence after taking first two sets. Still, much more points depended on Kendrick as he dictated the tempo. All in all, this will be the most interesting game today and quite tricky to bet. But, I believe in old fox, Andre is very clever, he knows how to play against every player, he was the one who helped Rafa defeating Federer with his theories how to play against the Suiss. Still, Agassi is much better on grass than Nadal. Much more points will depend on Andre, but 25th seed won't make so many mistakes like Kendrick did and won't give second chance to young Spaniard. Also, Agassi will put pressure on Nadal from the begining and I expect him to take first set=Nadal to lose just like he did against Kendrick. -

Re: ATP Queens & Halle & WTA Birmingham 12th-18th June Sport Tennis Event Gimesltob vs Blake Selection Gimelstob to win Strength 6/10 Date 13/06/2006 Bookmaker/Price Expekt @ 3.22 (Back) Reasoning Very nice odds in this match. James Blake is totally anti-grasscourt player. Of course, James Blake is much better player than Justin Gimesltob but this is very big value. James already played two matches on grass this season. It was in Davis Cup in U.S. and he lost both matches. To Capdeville 6-3 6-4 and to Fernando Gonzalez 6-7(5) 0-6 7-6(2) 6-4 10-8. Overall, his results on grass are zero. When we look at his previous results we see that his results on clay are much better than on grass. Last year Blake lost in first round of Newport and Wimbledon. Only tournaments he played on grass. On the other side, Justin Gimesltob is one of the Americans who prefer hardcourt, has good serve and nice volley. His overall record this season is 15-11, he has win over Raemon Sluiter in first round, 7-6 6-2. Last year Gimelston lost in third round of Wimbledon losing to Lleyton Hewitt who was in form. :notworthy

Sport Tennis Event Bracciali vs Lopez Selection Over 23.5 Games Strength 10/10 Date 12/06/2006 Bookmaker/Price Unibet @ 1.80 (Back) Reasoning Lopez with a 7-15 win/loss record enters grasscourt tournaments. He has no major wins this year but has five losts in a row. But, he made a great job reaching quarter-finals of Wimbledon last year. On his way to qfs he won against Sherwood, Phau, Safin and Ancic. Finally, he lost in three against Hewitt. On the other side, Bracciali has 9-10 and with a little better results than Lopez. Davide won Casablanca tournament on clay and was a quarterfinalist in Rotterdam. Last year he played great tennis on grass. Firstly he took Surbiton challenger beating names like Rusedski, Moodie, Dupuis, Jamie Delgado and Ivo Karlovic. Than he reached second round of Wimbledon defeating Ivo Karlovic once against, but he lost to Roddick in five. Finally, he also took Manchester challenger without a lost set. This will be very close match, but I believe that mental stability of Davide Bracciali will prevail at the end. Also in 2004 Italian made some nice results on grass and there is no reason not to continue it. Both players are great servers and it will be great surpsise if we don't see three sets encounter. -

Tip Detail Sport Tennis Event Vliegen vs Wawrinka Selection Vliegen to win Strength 10/10 Date 12/06/2006 Bookmaker/Price Bet365 @ 1.72 (Back) Reasoning Kristof Vliegen played quite good on hard & clay so far this season. Well, now grass starts. He has overall record 21-12 which is very good for a player of his rank. He has semies in Memphis, finals in Munich and semies in Chenai. Well, it looks like faster courts suits him more. He had no major wins on grass until now, although it cannot be compared as he totally imporoved his tennis this year. On the other hand, Stanislas Wawrinka is typical claycourter and it will be very interesting to see how the game will progress. Wawrinka has 13-12 this year, semies in Auckland and Barcelona are his best results this year. Last year he played only two matches on grass and lost both, this year I expect the same. Kristof Vliegen has three wins out of four meetings against this player, Vliegen has better serve & voley shots, he has better aproaching to the net.

:okSport Tennis Event Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer Selection Over 41.5 Games Strength 10/10 Date 11/06/2006 Bookmaker/Price Eurobet @ 1.85 (Back) Reasoning Just like I said in my first preview, this is final and at least four hard sets are expected. Almost their matches played at Grand Slams were in five sets. I expect the same today. Neither of those two can provide a victory in three sets. Rafel Nadal lost two sets during Roland Garros, to Mathieu and to Hewitt. On the other side, Roger lost to Nalbandian in semies and to Massu Nicolas from Chile. I expect Nadal to stary first to attack Roger with powerfull shots and most likely to take first set. But, big king Roger Federer can return to the game in any moment. Overall, I believe that Over 41.5 Games is the safiest bet today. -

:okSport Tennis Event Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer Selection Rafael Nadal to win Strength 10/10 Date 11/06/2006 Bookmaker/Price Pinnacle Sports @ 1.72 (Back) Reasoning Very big game today. It looks like Roger Federer had a little worse players to play than Nadal. He lost one set against Massu and one set against David Nalbandian before the Argentinian retired in third. On his way to finals Roger won against Hartfield, Falla, Massu, Berdych, Ancic and finally Nalbandian. On the other side, Nadal played against Soderling, Kim, Mathieu, Hewitt, Djokovic and finally Ljubicic. Nadal lost one set against Mathieu and one against Hewitt. In semies Ljubicic was just weak for Spaniard, 6-4 6-2 7-6(7). Both players know each other very weel and there is not a lot things needed to be said. Nadal has three wins this year against Roger, five out of six. He has 59 win on clay in a row and I expect from him to continue this row for at least this match. -

Sport Tennis Event Starace vs Cipolla Selection Starace to win Strength 10/10 Date 30/03/2006 Bookmaker/Price Gamebookers @ 1.35 (Back) Reasoning Great hope of Italian tennis Potito Starace is back to his best form. Two days ago Potitio won against solid Gabashvili in two easy sets. On the other hand, Cipolla won over Verkerk, in fact Verkerk retired to him. Verkerk didn't play tennis in last ten month, had two shoulder's injury and still managed to take a set, everything is saying to Starace's favour. Starace has 4-6 this season, winning against names like Navaro-Pastor, Monaco, Chela and Igor Andreev. All in all, Starace is one class above than Cipolla. He should have no problems beating mediocre challenger player like Cipolla. Also, first match they played Starace won in two easy sets: 2005 Genoa Challenger FR Clay (O) P.STARACE 6-3 7-6
