FootballTennis Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: ATP & WTA Indian Wells Berdych beat Henman is straight sets!!! :clap :clap :clap I've always believed in the saying "Form is temporary, class is permanent". It certainly showed in this match as Berdych has been playing awful this year but does have class. Whereas Henman's form has been ok but lacks the class. In the end fairly easy match for Berdych. With 2.00 odds what a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake had a great 3-0 H2H over Robredo before losing very tamely to the Spaniard in the Aussie Open (when I backed Blake, obviously). At the time I thought that Blakes shot making would be able to knock Robredo off the court. Well, I still feel the same. Robredo has been labouring around since then not really doing much and I don't think hes playing too well. Blake hit form in Vegas. You could say that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I hope that's not the case, and having a decent break since winning that tournament I hope he'll be able to back it up here. Blake struggled early on in his first match but I think that was mainly to do with the cold rainy conditions and he came through fine in the end. Conditions are better now, and I think Blake will be able to find him A game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loit/Morariu are my favourites for the second match.I can't see any other result than their win.They trashed yesterday Craybas/Peng in two straight sets.Fujiwara/Gagliardi are just an average double pair and they don't usually play with each other.I see a clear win here for Loit/Morariu.

Damm/Paes are for sure much better double pair than Ginepri/Haggard.Maybe Haggard know how to play in doubles but when it comes to Ginepri he is pretty poor in doubles.They usuallu don't play with each other.Damm/Paes are for sure favourites here and they should win easilly.

NW1970 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Re: ATP & WTA Indian Wells Gasquet to bt Baghdatis 8/11 Coral Feel Gasquet might be coming back to something like last year's form, and against an out of sorts Hrbaty, the odds suggest a play on the Frenchman. 18 points Baghdatis to bt Gaudio 1/2 Coral Ancic to bt Mathieu 1.71 Betfair We have all been impressed by Baghdatis, and Gaudio is a bit random most of the time. A concentrated Baghdatis will win this. The drift in Gaudio's odds today seem to suggest that his head may be elsewhere today. Ancic is a very good player when he keeps himself together for a full match. Having said that, Mathieu never seems to have the class or mentality to close out games, even when he is near the finishing line. Slightly tricky, but the odds on Ancic are worth a dabble. 12 point singles. Starting bank: 100 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having not dropped a set in beating Henman and Hewitt must mean he is worth a look. Baghdatis didn't look too good against Gaudio and I think Berdych can cause him big problems. Berdych has been serving really well so far and if he continues to do so he should hold quite comfortably. Baghdatis looks a lot more attackable and must still be over rated after his Aussie Open run.

Players like Safina don't have the ability to change styles or out-think there opponents on the courts and that is what Hingis will do here. It would have to be a very fast indoor court for Safina to have a chance I think, and that's not the way it is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edtkh Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: ATP & WTA Indian Wells 30pts Federer-Nadal-Roddick (1.65 @ >William Hill) This isn't rocket science and for most parts, Federer and Nadal should pretty much be self-explanatory however out of sorts the former may have looked in his last 2 matches. Gasquet may have beaten Federer in Monte Carlo last year, but I just wouldn't regard the thought of Gasquet having the mental toughness and endurance to outlast Federer in a battle of attrition a viable thought. Likewise, Nadal should have too much for Grosjean on all surfaces bar grass. While I know much has been made about Roddick's poor form lately, I certainly do not share the views of the disenchanted few who think his career has gone off the boils somewhat - Roddick remains a class act for me and is rightfully regarded as a top 5 player. Andreev is just way too inconsistent for my liking and while he may have developed a knack of eeking out results against the lesser players, there's just no chance he's going to be able to get away with the thrash he served up against Soderling so long as Roddick reproduces another performance similar to those in his previous rounds. 10pts Safin-Federer-Nadal (1.90 @ >William Hill) A fit Safin will walk all over Nieminen without any doubts at all and looking at his performances so far this week, he hasn't looked far off his best. Having seen off Moya and Davydenko, I'd be hard pressed to see Nieminen beating the volatile Russian here.

Hingis defeated Lindsay Davenport last night, which is a great result but I don't think that Davenport gave her best. The American revealed she had been diagnosed with a bulging disc in her lower back. Davenport said her back felt stiff and uncomfortable during the match, but she was quick to credit Hingis."I still feel like I would have beaten a lot of players today," Davenport said. "She's going to be at the top as soon as she plays more and more."Finally, Hingis won 6-3 1-6 6-2. Before this game against Lindsay, Martina won over Pin and Bammer, both in straight sets. On the other hand, Safina is doing quite good at the moment. She has 11-5 record this year and looks like in a very good form. She defeated Samantha Stosur 6-3 6-2, Meng Yuan 6-3 6-1 and Anastacia Myskina 6-1 6-3. So, Martina Hingis is winning but she doesn't have a lot powerfull hits during the match, and on the other hand Safina is in a very good form. I expect very close match, Safina to take at least one set will be my first choice here as she has good chances to take the match too.

In that last meeting Ljubicic had a little problem with his back which clearly affected his game. Fully functioning I expect Ljubicic to have a big edge in this one. Both would clearly like the surface faster but I think being slower it gives an edge to Ljubicic. His game is more solid and penetrating from the back and if Ancic chooses to attack I think Ljubicic will be able to pick him off. Also I still think Ancic is very liable to put in an "off" service game which is something you just don't see from Ljubicic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a Croatian derby. Mario Ancic had quite a good season so far, he has two finals, Marseille and Rotherdam. Now, he won against Davide Sanguinetti and Paul-Henri Mathieu in Indianapolis. I must say that both of them are out of form and Mario struggled against both. On the other hand Ivo Ljubicic is looking like in a better form.. He finally started playing good on Grand Slams, and now he has very good wins against solid Tipsarevic and out of form Monflis. H2H is in Ljubo's favour, Ljubo leads 2-1, but Mario won last match.

Overall Demi has 12-3 win/loss record this season, but she isn't that good as the stats are showing. Dementieva started this season with a loss in first round of Australian Open. Before Indian Wells Dementieva won Tokyo Open and reached quarterfinals in Paris and semies in Antwerp. Dementieva didn't show great tennis in Indian Wells. She struggled in first two rounds against Yakimova and Sania Mirza. In third round Dementieva won over Na Li in two. Elena Dementieva is serving very, very poor... She had 16 double faults against Yakimova, 17 double faults against Mirza and eleven against Na Li. Her first serve percentage didn't get better than 57% in all three matches. On the other hand, Ana Ivanovic is playing quite good at the moment. Still, she has pretty lucky draw. She won against Bremond 6-3 6-2, Perry 6-1 6-3 and in third round Chakvetadze 6-3 6-3. Ana is serving much better than Dementieva and this court fits her great, she had great return in match against Chakvetadze and if she plays tonight like she did two days ago I expekt her win and a very close match.
