Sport	Tennis
Event	Pauline Parmentier - Julia Goerges
Selection	Pauline Parmentier
Strength	2/10
Date	26/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 4.36
Reasoning	I think that Pauline Parmentier can beat Julia Georges. Why? She leads 2-1 in head-to-head series so in my opinion it will be very difficult match for Julia Georges who doesn't like play against Parmentier. They played one match on hardcourt - 4 years ago and Pauline won in three sets. Julia Georges is a very good player. She has nice service. His forehand is really good but she is without big shape. Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez defeated her in the last tournament in quarterfinal. Pauline Parmentier can play great - for example she won against Daniela Hantuchova in the first round at US Open. It was big surprise. Odd is very good at pinnacle sports!

Sport	Tennis
Event	Urszula Radwanska - Klara Zakopalova
Selection	Urszula Radwanska
Strength	4/10
Date	26/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Sportingbet @ 2.10
Reasoning	In my opinion Urszula Radwanska should be a favorite in this match. They played four times and Urszula Radwanska won two matches. The last match they played on hardcourt at WTA Indian Wells 6 months ago and Urszula Radwanska won after three sets. The match lasted 119 minutes. You have to know that Radwanska had a big advantage. She won 15 points more rhan Klara Zakopalova. Klara showed really nice tennis in the last tournament at WTA Seoul. She won three matches. Urszula is in very good shape, too. She played in the semifinal at WTA Tashkent and in the quarterfinal at WTA Guangzhou. I see close match here but I think Radwanska will win. She is dangerous player on this surface, I give her more chances.

Event	Tamarine Tanasugarn - Maria Sharapova
Selection	Tamarine Tanasugarn
Strength	1/10
Date	26/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 15.00
Reasoning	Everyone knows that Maria Sharapova should be a favorite in this match but odd like 15.00 at pinnacle sports is too high for me. Maria Sharapova leads 5-0 in head-to-head series so she can destroy her opponent but she often has problems with weak players. Maria Sharapova played here in the last year and lost in the first round against Kimiko Date Krumm -odd for Maria Sharapova's win was 1.12. She lost in the first round in the last year so she does not need to defend many points. Tamarine Tanasugarn defeated Petra Cetkovska in the last match. Her service looks very nice - Petra had 1 break point. It is not important tournament for Sharapova so I think she can lose.

Event	Gisela Dulko - Tsvetana Pironkova
Selection	Gisela Dulko -1.5 sets (Asian-handicap)
Strength	3/10
Date	26/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bwin @ 2.50
Reasoning	In my opinion Gisela Dulko will defeat Tsvetana Pironkova in two sets. She leads 2-0 in head-to-head series. They played two times and Gisela Dulko won both matches 2-0. Tsvetana Pironkova had no chances. They played on clay, this match they will play on hardcourt but Dulko feels very nice on this surface. Gisela won Australian Open 2011 in doubles. Tsvetana Pironkova likes play on grass, on clay but on hardcourt she is nod dangerous player. His backhand is really weak. Gisela Dulko likes play against her so I think she will win in two sets. Odd at bwin is nice, for example at expekt is 2.35.

Event	Illya Marchenko - Marco Chiudinelli
Selection	Marco Chiudinelli
Strength	3/10
Date	26/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bwin @ 1.85
Reasoning	Bangkok ATP, qualifying. In my opinion Marco Chiudinelli will beat Illya Marchenko. Marco Chiudinelli leads 1-0 in head-to-head. They played on hardcourt 2 years ago and Marco Chiudinelli won in three sets. The match lasted 147 minutes. Illya Marchenko will be difficult opponent but Marco Chiudinelli showed really nice tennis in the last match. The match lasted 33 minutes (Moser ret. in the second set). Illya Marchenko defeated Dane Chuntraruk but Dane won first set. Marchenko lost against Tsung-Hua Yang at Tashkent challenger. He is without big shape so odd like 1.85 for Marco Chiudinelli's win is good for me.
