Back David Ferrer to win ATP Auckland for a 4/10 stake at 2.00 with Bet365 This is David Ferrer's very own tournament and, judging from the draw and the line-up, he should win it yet again this year. The biggest name in his half of the draw is Kevin Anderson, which just sums his chances up very neatly. There are no guarantees in tennis, but I would be very surprising by seeing him lose before the finals here.

Stepanek looked good in the Hopman Cup and Nieminen has done well here in recent years, so why not really?

All the big names are in the first half of the draw, so, if she stays focused, she will have every chance of getting through to the finals with minimal fuss.

She has already recorded an easy win here on Sunday, so, if her big hitting remains on song, she should be very competitive in the fairly shallow line-up.

Re: January 6 - January 12 Monica Niculescu - Magdalena Rybarikova WTA Hobart Monica Niculescu to win 1.81 (pinnacle) 7/10 Magdalena Rybarikova is joy to watch when she is on. She has very good offensive slice and good shot variety. But she rarely plays good. In Brisbane she was terrible against Lisicki, she hit only 3 winners with 24 unforceds… Monica Niculescu always capable for a good fight, she has good movement and good defensive skills. Her backhand is ok and has a very strange slice forehand. Under the windy circumstances Niculescu’s slice can working well, she always fight hard so i think she will find the way to win. Marina Erakovic - Kirsten Flipkens WTA Hobart Flipkens -1.5 sets 1.96 (unibet) 5/10 Marina Erakovic has a good serve, fantastic forehand and good volleys. Her backhand is very weak, and her movement is problem too. I saw against Lauren Davis and she played poorly, her backhand was a mess and hit so many unforced with forehand too. Flipkens played ok last week, she was up and down but could rise her level if was necessary. She is a very tricky player with good defensive slice. The weather always is very windy in Hobart, Flipkens slice is working well under these circumstances, she played semi-final last year and quarter-final in 2010. I think Flipkens will win easy this match, she is in good mood.
