Irefutabilul Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Tennis Roland Garros Sport Tennis Event Kanepi v Makarova Selection Makarova ML Strength 10/10 Date 28/05/2011 Bookmaker/Price 5Dimes @ 2.82 Reasoning Kaia Kanepi looked better yesterdays after a less-impressive match agains Sofia Ardvidsson but I still think she shouldn't be such favorite. Makarova might not play on her best surface but she's been fairly decent so far, easily beating Romina Oprandi (despite losing a set) and Johanna Larsson. She is 4-3 on clay this season, better than Kanepi's 2-3, and she can be proud of recently beating high-rated Yanina Wickmayer at Madrid. The two players have played each other twice (1-1) but it's been a long time ago and only one match was on clay anyway. I think Makarova can pull out a little suprise today.

captaincool Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Djokovic will win this with ease tomorrow. I'm actually still confident in my (-6.5) bet. I'll happily lay evens if anyone wants on a tie-break... Went exactly how I expected to in the last two sets with Djokovic winning them 6-3, 6-2. Brought in the -6.5 game handicap.

fishy25 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Right 3 for me tomorrow then, hoping I can have a day of profit to make up for a couple of dodgy days. Alexandr Dolgopolov vs Viktor Troicki- Dolgopolov -2 handicap- 10/11 Bet365- (4/10)- LOSS Andy Murray vs Michael Berrer- Over 28.5 games- 5/6 Bet365- (4/10)- LOSS Leonardo Mayer vs Robin Soderling- Tie break to be played- 11/8 Bet365- (3/10)- LOSS Think my best tip from now on would be not to pay any attention to my tips. Didn't really get Berrer's tactics after Murray picked up that injury. Surely the plan should have been play to his backhand with plenty of dropshots, not play to his forehand with mid court shots. Really strange. -11 for me, just continuing my bad form. So from at one point being up around 18 units, I'm now currently -5.59 for the tournament and beating myself up for some stupid bets I've taken that I've been looking through. Plenty of better people in the forum at the minute so I'd advise looking to them to make some money. Tomorrow's truly make or break day...

Monfils has the French crowd on his side too ^^^Around 6/1 - I've staked £20 which returned 120 in addition to the 20 staked.

In my opinion he will win without big problems. Albert is in great shape - defeating many good rivals like Mikhail Youzhny. Albert Montanes's favourite surface is clay so he plays fantastic on this surface. He defeated very easy Youzhny - won two sets 6-1 so he can win very easy in next match! Why not? He had 7 break points in last match against Mikhail Youzhny and won 6! Montanes plays very good in rallies. Maybe his service is not strong but he has nice forehand and backhand. He has many chances to break rival's service in match. Fabio Fognini likes play on this surface but he is not top player. He defeated two weak players - Denis Istomin and Stephane Robert. Fognini won against Garcia-Lopez but he is without big shape. I think that Albert Montanes will win 3-0. He is better tennis player than Fognini. Montanes is in great shape and I trust him!

Avoid taking Nadal in 3 sets, after watching Ljubicic today, I'd fancy him to snatch a set, his first serve percentage was outta this roof and Nadal wouldn't be able to touch him on most service games if you ask me, not with the way hes been playing.... plus 1/4 is crap, hardly adds to the accumulated total anyway, you'd hate for that to be the one to bite you in the foot my friend... Djokovic and Federer in 3 sets is likely I wouldn't stake more than £30 on it though, moderate stakes... Federer has a knack of switching off and shanking balls for atleast one period of every match and if Wawrinka capitalizes on that then you are going to be kicking yourself. Why don't you like the look of Monfils on a plus handicap? Ferrer hates playing him dude, he's designed to beat Ferrer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy25 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Really hope that I can turn it round tomorrow. Gone quite heavy on Federer and taken Monty as well. Thought long and hard about the Monfils handicap but didn't bite in the end. Haven't looked into the women much so just the two men's matches for me. Roger Federer vs Stanislas Wawrinka- Federer -7 handicap- 19/20 Sportingbet- (8/10) The biggest bet of the tournament for me and if it goes wrong, and Fed doesn't come out firing, then my tournament from a punters perspective has been a shocker. I just can't ignore how Federer's been playing this week. He has looked the most impressive and comfortable with his game. Since overcoming Lopez in round 1, he has gone from strength to strength and the win over Tipsarevic was the Federer of old and the best I've seen on him possibly this year. His serving was tight and effective, whilst his backhand wasn't erratic in the slightest which is sometimes the case. He was seeing the ball like a basketball and Tipsarevic couldn't trouble him with any great force at any point in the match. Wawrinka overcame Tsonga in an epic a couple of days ago, and it will be interesting to see how fresh he is for the match against the man who he's always lived in the shadow of. If Stan is suffering from fatigue early doors and has a sloppy first half hour, Federer will pounce and it will be a mighty struggle for Stan from there. Everyone is aware of the H2H between these two, and Stan has a mental problem against Federer. Federer has already beaten him twice this season, including a heavy defeat at the Australian Open where Fed covered the handicap with ease. If he continues his form of this week, Djokovic, let alone Wawrinka would struggle and I fancy Roger to enjoy the match tomorrow and extend his good form this week. Albert Montanes vs Fabio Fognini- Montanes -3.5 handicap- 5/6 Bet365- (5/10) Feel this is the end of the road for the Italian after a week where he's been pretty much untested and comfortable. He's only dropped one set this week in Paris and he has yet to come across a player who has given him problems. Montanes however is a step up in class on the clay courts and he has also only dropped one set this week. He again has been extremely comfortable, even against Youzhny who although is out or sorts at the minute, can still be a danger. He hammered the Russian though and will be fresh to go tomorrow in the morning match. Coming into Paris this week he was out of form a touch but as we've seen from the Spaniard in the past, when he gets some wins together, the momentum he generates means he is a force to be reckoned with on the clay. He was knocked out by Soderling last year in the third round but he'll know this is a huge opportunity to make the quarters of a grand slam for the first time and I'd expect that to be a huge motivation for the Spaniard. He leads the H2H 4-1, winning the last 3, including one back in Casablanca this year, and covering the handicap in the process and I'll back him to repeat that again tomorrow.

TennisExpert Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Sport Tennis Event Gasquet - Djokovic Selection Gasquet +4.5 (Asian-handicap) Strength 10/10 Date 29/05/2011 Bookmaker/Price Paddy Power @ 4.50 Reasoning In my opinion Gasquet can fight here and Djokovic can have big troubles. Gasquet play at home, Gasquet play the best tennis in last year or two. Gasquet look mentall strong and Gasquet feel really confident before this match. In Rome beat Federer after long match, maybe today make next big upset? Djokovic off course is in great shape, but concended set against Del Potro and play this match in two days, can be small problem. Gasquet have more time for preparation.. For me Djokovic win this match in 5 long sets! ---------- Sport Tennis Event Jankovic - Schiavone Selection Jankovic -1.5 sets (Asian-handicap) Strength 10/10 Date 29/05/2011 Bookmaker/Price William Hill @ 3.00 Reasoning For me Jelena can win this match in two sets. First match in 2004 won Schiavone, but next three matches(06, 08 and 09) won Jankovic in straight sets. For me repeat today this results. Jankovic here is in big form, winning matches without any problems, concended only 13 games in 3 matches. Serving really good, been very hard to break. Schiavone in first two matches beat rivals without problems, but in last match lost first set against Peng and.. Peng retired in second. Lucky for Francesca. 6-3, 6-4 ------- Sport Tennis Event Dulko - Bartoli Selection Dulko Strength 10/10 Date 29/05/2011 Bookmaker/Price Centrebet @ 2.80 Reasoning In my opinion Dulko can make small suprise in this match and win it. Bartoli leading 4-0 in h2h, but all matches played on faster surface(better for Bartoli). First clay tie, this is advantage for Gisel, who moving better at the court. Dulko in first two matches beat without any problems Pironkova and Falconi, in third round in three sets been titler cadidate Stosur and make big suprise! Dulko is more fresh. Bartoli in three matches played 9 sets and not played against really strong rivals - Tatishvili, Govoortsotva? Please.. Dulko not makin too many unforced errors, for me can win it! ---- Sport Tennis Event Kuznetsova - Hantuchova Selection Kuznetsova -1.5 sets (Asian-handicap) Strength 10/10 Date 29/05/2011 Bookmaker/Price Bwin @ 3.20 Reasoning In my opinion Kuznetsova is be able to win this match in two sets. Kuznetsova leading 7-4 in H2H against Hantuchova, won two matches on clay surface, both 2:0. Svetlana have more experience in Roland Garros, won this tournament in 2009, in last yera been without form, but in this season can repeat big result here. Hantuchova never been in QF here. In first three matches both playing on the highest level, but for me Kuznetsova is better player and win it in 2 sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atko Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Looking to build on yesterday's wins through Djokovic and Ljubicic. Considered a bet in three of the four matches today but in the end I've just hit the one. - Roger Federer -7 games AH (v Stanislas Wawrinka) @ 1.909 with Pinnacle (5pts) I think Fishy has made most of the salient points for this bet, but I'll add in a few words anyway. Federer has looked supremely comfortable in his first three matches against Lopez, Teixeira and Tipsarevic and I don't see Wawrinka threatening him. Stan played really well against Tsonga but a big part of his win was down to Tsonga losing his fitness quickly. He still offered up chances and got very tight when serving out the match. In terms of skill, Wawrinka can live with almost any player but mentally, especially against Federer, he seems to lie down a lot of the time. An 8-1 H2H record, two defeats in this year alone, show that he has major issues against his compatriot. I suspect it is tough for him to play second fiddle to Federer, who is a better player and has the Indian Sign over Stan. I can't really see him keeping it close, especially with fatigue a potential factor after four hours on court with JWT. :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novak Djokovic is a big favorite for me in this match. I think that he will win Roland Garros in this year. In my opinion he is better player than Rafael Nadal now. Nadal is without his big shape so Novak Djokovic has many chances to be number 1! Richard Gasquet is playing at home so motivation must be high - friends are supporters. He has nice service and fantastic backhand but Novak is better player. Novak has better service, he plays great in rallies so I don't see many chances for Richard Gasquet in this match. Novak Djokovic leads 5-1 in head-to-head series. The last match they played in Indian Wells in this year and Novak Djokovic won very easy 6-2 6-4. Richard Gasquet is very good player, he likes play on clay but Novak Djokovic looks great in France. In my opinion he will win French Open so this match should be easy for him!

David Ferrer is a big favorite in this match. He is in great shape and he should win very easy. Gael Monfils is very good player, he is playing at home so it's his advantage. Gael Monfils leads 2-0 in head-to-head series. The match on clay they played in 2008. Where? French Open. Gael Monfils 3-1. The last match they played in Davis Cup in last year. Gael Monfils played at home and won after five sets. Monfils defeated Ferrer twice but I have to say that David Ferrer looks great in France in this year! He easy won three matches - defeated many good rivals like Nieminen. He plays very good in his service games. David was serving very nice in last match against Sergiy Stakhovsky: 1st Serve Percentage 67% (45/67) 1st Serve Points Won 80% (36/45) 2nd Serve Points Won 68% (15/22) David Ferrer's service is not strong but he plays fantastic in his service games. I like him because he is fighter - motivation must be high! He is experienced tennis player. Gael Monfils won three matches in France but he played against weak players - Phau, Rufin, Darcis. Under 36 games is nice option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svetlana Kuznetsova is a favorite in this match and in my opinion she will win! Hantuchova defeated Caroline Wozniacki in two sets in last match but Caroline Wozniacki is without big shape. She is playing weakly lately. Svetlana leads 7-4 in head-to-head series. The last match they played on clay in Rome in 2009 and Kuznetsova won 6-3 6-3. Kuznetsova won very easy, Hantuchova won only one break point. Svetlana is in very good shape. She won three matches without any problems. She lost only 11 games in three matches. Svetlana looks fantastic in France. She has great service so she plays very good in her service games. She can't lost too many service games in this match. Kuznetsova plays aggressively. She has powerful forehand. Svetlana won French Open in 2009 so she feels great in France. I see close match here but I think that Svetlana will win! Odd is very nice.

Marion Bartoli leads 4-0 in head-to-head series so in my opinion she will win. She is playing at home - friends are supporters. She won all matches against Gisela Dulko 2-0 so I give her more chances. Marion Bartoli's favourite surface is hardcourt but she plays very good on clay in France. She played against Julia Georges in last match and she won! Julia Georges is in very good shape so it was great win! Marion Bartoli won three matches in three sets in Paris. Gisela Dulko lost only one set - against Samantha Stosur. Samantha was favorite to won French Open but she played terrible in match against Gisela - many unforced errors, weak forehand, service. Gisela Dulko had 15 break points and won 5. Gisela Dulko plays in doubles but she defeated Stosur. It was nice surprise. She can play fantastic. Gisela has very good service and volley.

Rafael Nadal is a big favorite in this match but we can see fantastic odd in pinnacle sports - 19.00. I see big value here! Rafael Nadal leads 6-2 in head-to-head series so Ivan Ljubicic defeated Nadal twice. He can win again. I have to say that Rafael Nadal is without big shape - five sets against John Isner - player who plays very good on hardcourt. For Isner clay is not good surface. Rafael Nadal had problems in match against Pablo Andujar. Andujar had 16 break points. Rafael saved 11. In third set Pablo led 5-1. Veic is weak player so Nadal won 6-1 6-3 6-0. In my opinion it will be difficult match for Rafa. Ivan Ljubicic has powerful service. Ivan Ljubicic defeated Fernando Verdasco in three sets in last match. Verdasco is very dangerous player on clay. Ljubicic was serving great: 1st Serve Points Won 87% (55/63) 2nd Serve Points Won 44% (14/32) I have to say that Ivan Ljubicic's first service looks fantastic. 11 aces, only two double faults. Fernando Verdasco had only two break points. Rafael Nadal should be favorite in this match but in my opinion Ljubicic can win. I see value here.

Juan Ignacio Chela should win this match because he is in very good shape, defeating many good rivals like Kevin Anderson. Juan Ignacio Chela's first serve percentage is great! For example in match against Tim Smyczek 81%, against Kevin Anderson 90% (133/147). Juan Ignacio Chela's first service looks very nice so he is really hard to break. Juan Ignacio Chela is right-handed, he plays two-handed backhand. He likes play on clay. Chela plays very good in rallies so he has many break points. Clay is very good surface for Alejandro Falla too but he feels tired. He won 6 matches in France! He defeated Lukasz Kubot in last match. Alejandro Falla lost first set but won 3-1! The match lasted 227 minutes. Juan Ignacio Chela is my favorite and in my opinion he should win 3-0 or 3-1 so handicap -5 games is nice option!

Maybe Andrea Petkovic should be a favorite in this match but odd for her win like 1,33 is not serios for me. In my opinion Maria Kirilenko can win this match. She is in good shape. Andrea Petkovic leads 2-0 in head-to-head series. They played two matches in this year and Andrea Petkovic won twice. They played on clay. Maria Kirilenko looks very good in Paris. She won three matches in two sets. Maria Kirilenko defeated Arantxa Rus who won against top player - Kim Clijsters. Kirilenko won very easy 6-1 6-1. She played fantastic in her service games: 1st Serve Percentage 79% (33/42) 1st Serve Points Won 61% (20/33) 2nd Serve Points Won 89% (8/9) Second service looks great!

CzechPunter Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Can't believe that Fedex is gonna mess that up again. Anyway, having one for later. (2/10) D.Ferrer/G.Monfils - Over 36 games @ 1.92 with Pinnacle I think we are going to see something from the Frenchman. He is a top 10 player and he should be focused in front of the home crowd. Ferrer is playing great tennis on clay this year, but 36 games looks a bit low to me. Definitely prefer this to the 6.5 handicap, as Monfils can throw in a 0-6 set somewhere between.

dizzyme Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Arghh... Montanes can't believe he blew so many MPs and Fognini is such a drama queen and cheater faking an injury and calling a Medical Timeout for cramp. :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmGooner Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Re: Tennis - The French Open Fognini is a spartan it has to be said, what a hilarious match.........:lol Montanes had it but was so tight when it really mattered while Fog was hitting winners and dropshots under the same pressure.

Worse betting experience of my life. Unlucky man. Fognini's gamesmanship got him out of jail at 5-6 15-30 on his serve. Should never have got away with that Although he basically handed Montanes the match but he failed to take it so he cant really complain either. Montanes was a break up in the 4th and 5th sets so its his on fault so he must feel sick. Most incredible match I have ever seen, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
