Undoubtedly it will be difficult match for Jurgen Melzer because Philipp Petzschner possesses powerfull serve and it is really hard to break his serve. Both players know each other, they play together in doubles. The last match they played in Brisbane in this year and Philipp Petzschner won in two sets. I think Jurgen Melzer can beat him today. He won three matches in Zagreb, feels very good on this surface. Melzer plays style service and volley. It will be very interesting match. As I wrote, Petzschner leads 3-0 in h2h series. It's time to change it.

Undoubtedly he likes play on this surface because he possesses strong serve. Nicolas Mahut defeated Radek Stepanek in the first round Australian Open. It was a big suprise. Mahut won in three sets. Albert Ramos-Vinolas is young, good player. I like his tennis. He plays left-handed. His service is difficult. His forehand is dangerous. In my opinion Nicolas Mahut will win but odd for his win is not great. I think they will play over 21.5 games. Mahut likes play long matches (do you remember match at Wimbledon against John Isner?). They can play a tie-break, on this surface it is easy.

Marc Gicquel has played many matches indoors. What is more he had to play in qualifications so he won two matches in two sets. Flavio Cipolla defeated Davydenko in the second round Australian Open. He won 3-2. It was a big suprise. It can be close match but I think Gicquel will win - plays at home and needs many points. It's great chance for him.

Serra plays at home but in my opinion he will lose. Undoubtedly Tobias Kamke is playing better than his opponent lately. Tobias won in the first round Australian Open against Hanescu. In the second he played against good player - Alexandr Dolgopolov and lost after five sets 4-6 6-1 6-1 3-6 8-6. His serve is not strong but he can play really good in rallies. He is able to play offensively. Tobias Kamke should win in two sets. Odd is not high but worth trying.

What is important, they played all matches on clay - surface they will play today. Maximo Gonzalez is in good shape, he played in the quarterfinal at Bucaramanga challenger. He lost against Paolo Lorenzi 1-2. Maximo Gonzalez loves play on this surface. He rarely plays on hardcourt. As we can see he likes play against Rogerio Silva Dutra. Maximo Gonzalez has patent for this guy. The last match they played two years ago at Guayaquil challenger and Gonzalez destroyed Rogerio Silva Dutra 7-6 6-0!

Berlocq feels great on this surface. He can play long rallies. On the other hand Daniel Gimeno-Traver likes play on clay, too. His latest results are not good but trust me - he can play on high level - for instance he won 7 challenger titles - all on clay. He was runner-up 7 times. Daniel Gimeno-Traver possesses good serve, he can hold it without big problems. Carlos Berlocq defeated Daniel in Estoril in the last year in two sets but I think he can have problems today. Matches between these players ale close so I think they can play three sets. Handicap +1.5 sets on Daniel Gimeno-Traver is good option for me [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Both players are young. John-Patrick Smith plays left-handed but Yuichi Sugita's backhand is really good so I think he won't have any problems with it. In my opinion Yuichi Sugita is more experienced player. He played in the quarterfinal at ATP Chennai, he played in the semifinal at Honolulu challenger, lost after three sets against Ginepri. Yuichi Sugita's service is not powerfull but he copes really good in rallies. I watched his matches many times. His forehand is dangerous. John-Patrick Smith for me is no name and I can't imagine his win here.

On the other hand, I think that James Lemke prefers playing on claycourts to playing on hard. James Lemke plays left-handed but can it be a problem if he destryoed him in the last match? Samuel Groth feels great on this surface and in my opinion he will win in two sets. Samuel Groth lost in the first round against Tomic in the last year. He will play against a worse opponent tomorrow.

Mikhail Ledovskikh won first set but in the second Evgeni Kirillov destroyed him 6-0! Evgeni Kirillov has to defend many points because he played in the semifinal in the last season. He showed good tennis in qualifications, won three matches in two sets - in the last he won against a good player - Ilya Marchenko.

Marius Copil is a young, talented player and he copes very well indoors. What is more he has to defend many points here because he won Kazan challenger in the last season! He defeated Andreas Beck in the final. Marius Copil's serve is strong so he can hold it without any problems. For me Amir Weintraub is a weak player, he plays many matches on hardcourt but I think he is not good enough to beat Marius Copil.

Benjamin Mitchell played in the first round Australian Open but lost against John Isner. In the last set they played tie-break. In Sydney he won against Mayer and Mikhail Kukushkin - yes, the same Mikhail Kukushkin who won against Monfils and Troicki at Australian Open! Benjamin Mitchell can play on high level.

The last match they played at ATP Saint Petersburg and Mikhail won in two sets 6-3 7-6. Mikhail Youzhny lost against a poor player - Golubev in the first round Australian Open. It was a big suprise. He needs many points so he has to beat Sergiy Stakhovsky. Sergiy Stakhovsky possesses good service, he likes play style serve&volley. He plays one-handed backhand. Mikhail Youzhny plays one-handed backhand, too.

He broke four rackets in a row in the second Australian Open. He lost 1-3. Of course he should beat Lukas Rosol but I think Rosol can win more than 8 games in this match - for instance they can play tie-break. Baghdatis won this tournament in 2007 so he is very dangerous. Rosol has strong serve, he hits ball flat. Marcos Baghdatis's first serve is powerfull, he can sold it without any problems. Over 20.5 games in this match is good option for me.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD]Sport[/TD] [TD] Tennis[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 150]Event[/TD] [TD] Igor Andreev - Paul Capdeville[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 150]Selection[/TD] [TD] Igor Andreev[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 150]Strength[/TD] [TD] 3/10[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 150]Date[/TD] [TD] 31/01/2012[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bookmaker/Price[/TD] [TD] William Hill @ 1.62[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Reasoning[/TD] [TD] Paul Capdeville plays at home and that is his advantage.

For many on of the best forehand on the ATP Tour. Andreev showed good tennis at ATP Brisbane - he won four matches, in the second round he lost against Dolgopolov but match was very close (they played two tie-breaks).

I think Bubka will win in two sets but I don't see bets like this. Bubka has great serve, he plays good tennis in rallies.

Giraldo showed great tennis at Australian Open - won match in the first round in three sets but in the second waited Novak Djokovic. Giraldo won 6 games, in the first set was really close to make surprise. Leonardo Mayers's favourite surface is claycourt and it may be close match but in my opinion Santiago Giraldo made big progress and he should win in two sets. Odd is really good at pinnacle sports - worth trying.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

In this year he won one set against Roger Federer at ATP Doha. He plays well - good service, his forehand is dangerous. For me here may be over 21.5 games. Daniel Brands likes play on this surface.

What is more they played a three years ago and Rufin won in two sets. It was in Bytom. Guillaume Rufin destroyed Vasek Pospisil 6-3 6-1. Undoubtedly Vasek Pospisil possesses strong service, that is his advantage. His favourite surface is hard. I think Guillaume Rufin feels better on clay but he has chances here.

First of all she is in great shape, she feels very good in Australia. Petra Kvitova defeated Maria two times, Sharapova won one match. It was 2 years ago at WTA Memphis. Maria won in two sets. Petra Kvitova plays left-handed. Her hits are very strong, her service is her big advantage. In my opinion Maria will be difficult rival for Kvitova because she plays strongly, too. Kvitova had problems against Carla Suarez Navarro and in the second set against Errani but they aren't great players. For me Petra is without big shape so I see Sharapova's win here.

[Tennis: Australian Open 2012]

Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 Australian Open 2012 to win outright Maria Sharapova @ 10,00 stake: 5/10 bookie: bet365 Maria Sharapova will play against Sabine Lisicki in the next match. She leads 2-0 in h2h series so it should be easy win. Maria played the last tournament before Australian Open in Istanbul at WTA Championships. Someone can say that she isn't able to win Grand Slam after break like that but she worked hard and finally she is in great form. The weather conditions are very convenient for her. If Maria Sharapova wins match against Lisicki she will play against Serena Williams in the quarterfinal. If she beats Serena, she will win this tournament, I think. Sharapova's service is strong, she hits balls deep and very strongly. What is more she loves play here. She played in the semifinal here in 2006, in the final the following year and she won Australian Open in 2008 (won all matches in two sets!). I see big chance!
