Tennis: 31st December -8th January

[slider24]

Thought I would create a tennis thread, what with it being the start of a brand new spanking tennis season and all. Atko usually does the honours but maybe he's keeping his powder dry for the Aussie Open in two weeks? So, onto the tennis this week. We've got the lads and lassies playing in Brisbane, while the rest of the girls and boys compete in Auckland and Chennai and Doha respectively. Hard courts are the surface of choice at all events. Tips away! :ok

Re: Tennis: 31st December -8th January Iveta Benesova - Lucie Safarova OVER 20.5 games @4/5 BET 365 Strength (6/10) Quite surprised at the line here. Three of their five matches have covered the line and two of those three matches have been their last two meetings. The more routine Safarova victories occured more than four years ago(she leads the head to head 5-0), so all indications are that Benesova is warming to the task of facing the erratic but talented fellow Czech. Both are left handers and can go hot and cold at different times, so there should be chances for both to claw back potential deficits - even in the same sets - so this line could easily be covered in a two set match. :ok
