Moscow matches start in a couple of hours, so I started the thread myself. In week #42 there are four tournaments on I-hard ATP 250: Cremlin Cup, Moscow, Russia ------------------------------------- The two top seeds are Serbs Tipsarevic and Troicki. Last year winner is Troicki, who defeated Baghdatis in the final. Baghdatis does not attend this tournament because he plays in Stockholm this week. ATP 250: IF Stockholm Open, Stockholm, Sweden ------------------------------------------------ The two top seeded are Monfils and Del Potro. Last year winner is Roger Federer (who does not play here this year) who defeated Florian Mayer in the final (Mayer, too, does not play here this year). And attention please! Tommy Robredo makes another occurrence as seed No 8!!!. WTA Premier: Cremlin Cup, Moscow, Russia ------------------------------------------ Top seeded are Zvonareva and Agnieszka Radwanska. Last year winner is Azarenka (who does not attend this tournament this year because she plays in Luxembourg) who defeated Maria Kirilenko in the final (does not attend this tournament this year, plays in Luxembourg, too} WTA International: BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open, Luxembourg, Luxembourg ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The two top seeds are Azarenka and Pavlyuchenkova. Last year winner is Roberta Vinci (does not play here this year, because she is in Moscow) that did beat Julia Goerges (seed No 6 this year) in the final.

Re: Tennis 17-23 Oct Last year I tried the following scheme in WTA Cremlin Cup: In the first round I played 1 unit on every underdog with odds higher than 2.500 on Pinnacle. This approach worked in last four years, there was loss in year 2006: Year 2010: 6 upsets with sum of odds = 20.38 , 11 events with odds >= 2,5 -profit 9.38 (GAIN) Year 2009: 5 upsets with sum of odds = 18.58 , 13 events with odds >= 2,5 -profit 5.58 (GAIN) Year 2008: 2 upsets with sum of odds = 10,40 , 4 events with odds >= 2,5 - profit 6,40 (GAIN) Year 2007: 3 upsets with sum of odds = 11.22 , 9 events with odds >= 2.5 - profit 2,22 (GAIN) Year 2006: 3 upsets with sum of odds 8.53 , 11 events with odds >= 2.5 - profit -2.47 (LOSS) I am going to try this this year again, folow at your own risk. Matches available so far that meet the criterium on Pinnacle are: Hercog to bt Cibulkova @2.600 Kudryavtseva to bt Vesnina @2.570 Errani to bt Kanepi @2.680 Rodina to bt Petrova @3.460 Playing all four at 1u
