Sport	Tennis

Selection	Novak Djokovic -1.5 sets (Asian-handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	30/12/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bwin @ 3.50
Reasoning	Abu Dhabi ATP Exh (UAE) - hardcourt, semifinal. Someone can say that it is an exhibition match and doesn't matter but here prestige counts. For Novak Djokovic it will be very important match. You remember that Novak lost against Roger at French Open this year. After that Djokovic defeated Roger in unexpected circumstances at US Open (saved 2 match points!). Roger Federer leads 14-10 in head-to-head series but Novak is very difficult opponent for him. They have played 5 times this year and Novak has won 4 matches - on February defeated Federer in two sets 6-3 6-3 at ATP Dubai. 'It is always a challenge to play Federer whether it is a tournament or exhibition,' Novak said. Motivation must be high. In my opinion he can win in two sets! Odd is great.

Re: Abu Dhabi ATP Early days but Novak looked pretty good there, looks strong again, hitting with depth and power, defending well. odds of 3.00 to win the Australian Open looks a good bet to me.
