ATP/WTA Miami

[FootballTennis]

Another huge tournament, just as big as Indian Wells. Odds not out yet, but the ealy prices on www.betandwin.com indicate Federer is the overwelming favourite in the mens. Nadal being 2nd favourite. In the women's it is much close, no strong favourite. Sharapova is put as the favourite just ahead of Clijsters, Henin and Mauresmo but not too much difference between these 4.

Ani is in really good form lately.And she shouldn't have any problems here.She is playing young american player who usually loses against strong opponents.Ani should made it to the main tournament.

Reasoning	Eleni Daniilidou is really hot these days. She has two tournaments in a row where she came in to the second round from the qualification round. She was losing to names like Peer or Petrova. On the other hand, she is winning against very good players like Mamic, nagyova, Medina. Last week she played in Indian Wells and won over Medina and Camerin but lost in three hard fought sets to very good Peer.

Capdeville seems to be favourite here to win against poor Vahaly.When it comes to play against good players Vahaly is really poor.Capdeville is better player in my opinion and he should go further.

Event	ATP Miami Open
Selection	GREUL D Mello
Strength	10/10
Date	21/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Betfair @ 1.84 (Back)
Reasoning	Ricardo Mello won yesterday against Rainer Schuettler 6-3 2-1 ret. Of course, in fact Schuettler retired to him. But, Mello took the first set and I belive, it just a reflection of Schuetler's injury, not Mello's great play. Mello is a typical claycourter and it doesn't make a lot sense for him to play qualifiaction round for this (hardcourt) tournament when he can play good on claycourt challenger. So, Mello didn't play on hard for a long time. He played three claycourt tournemants, but without any success. Still, during the hardcourt season he had no wins. In fact, Mello didn't win a game on hard since August last year! Greul on the other hand is a hardcourt player. Greaul at least has some good displays at hard. He played last week at Sunrise challenger and he won against Robin Vik and Falla but failed against Andreas Seppi. Greul won this year on hard names like Vicente, Pashanski and Fish, which means a lot comparing to Mello's nothing. Last night Greul won against Adrian Garcia 6-3 6-3. So, form is on Greul's side + they already met once at hard and Greul took it easily. I expect the same tonight. 2003 Australian Open 64 Hard (O) S.GREUL 5-7 1-6

Event	Gimelstob vs Berrer
Selection	Gimeltob to win
Strength	10/10
Date	21/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Betfair @ 1.50 (Back)
Reasoning	Second qualifying round of Miami Nasdaq Open. Justin Gimesltob won yesterday against Harel Levy 6-4 7-5. Levy was they best player in pre-qualifications losing only three games in three matches. On the other hand, German Berrer topped nameless Mexican player Santiago Gonzales 7-5 6-2. Justin Gimesltob is typical American hardcourter. This year he has overall score 4-6 on ATP Tournaments. He has wins over Waske, Udomchoke, Armado, Kubot, Feliciano Lopez. Last week he reached second round of Indian Wells from qualifiaction rounds. He was better than Armado and Kubot in two. In first round he won against Feliciano Lopez 7-5 6-3, but lost in second against David Nalbandian 4-6 4-6. It's obvious that Gimelstob enjoys this part of the season. On the other side, Berrer has only 1-2 record this year. Latelly, Berrer is without any better result. He lost in first round of Belgare Open to out of form Llodra. Last week he played at Sunrise challenger but lost in first round to Stefan Koubek 7-6(4) 4-6 2-6. I expect American player to win this match without a lot of problems. He is in good form and playing in front of his audience should help him beating under-average Berrer.

Event	Bogomolov - Mertinak
Selection	bogomolov to win
Strength	7/10
Date	21/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Betfair @ 1.68 (Back)
Reasoning	Bogomolov... Just like Gimelstob, another American hardcourter. This is the part of the season when Bogomolov can show everything he knows, as he is low ranked player but he gets his chance when playing in US through wildcards. Bogomolov demolished yesterday 24th seed Delgado Ramon 6-0 6-4. Bogomolov has no succes this year. Only success was coming to Australian Open from qualifying rounds and beating Fernando Gonzalez 4-6 7-6(6) 6-3 6-7(3) 7-5, in second round of AO he lost to Henri-Mathieu in three. On the other hand Mertinak is even worse. He still has no wins at ATP tournaments this year, only one loss. In fact, he struggles a lot i order to reach main draw. Last week Mertinak played in Ho chi Min, but without any success. He lost in first round to Cecil Mamiit 6-7(6) 1-6. Last night, Mertinak won over Razvan Sabau 6-4 5-7 6-3. And Sabau is totally out of form. Bogomolov is playing in front of his audience, if he continues to perform like he did yesterday, he'll be in the main draw in no time.

And she even doesn't remember last time when she lost in qualification round. She is a first seed her and she demolished Prat last night. tonight, she is playing against poor, poor, Rodionova... Rodionova who just plays this round becoz her opponent retired last night when the result was 5-5 in the first set. Rodionova has no major success in WTA, Daniliodou is in a great form, and I contunue betting on her.

Selection	LAY WAWRINKA v Murray (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	22/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Betfair @ 2.34 (Lay)
Reasoning	Wawrinka leads the H2H 1-0 with a big time win in the Davis Cup last year on clay but I think Murray has improved a lot since then. He's won his first ATP title and beaten some big name players and his game has developed, especially with him being more aggressive from the back. Wawrinka is struggling this year I feel, he's not putting together back to back matches and hasn't had a run in a tournament since Auckland way back in January. I think his serve is being found out to be not so effective (could say the same about Murray!!) and when he's put on the defensive he is found to be lacking a bit. Murray I feel will be able to exploit this and should get revenge for last year. He's had a few disappointing weeks since kicking ass in San Jose, but in the performance last time against Davydenko there were signs that he was getting it back together.

Event	Kim vs Melzer
Selection	Kim to win
Strength	8/10
Date	22/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 2.00 (Back)
Reasoning	Jurgen Melzer with a 1-7 win/loss record for this year will play against American Kevin Kim. Well, this will be a bet against Melzer. Melzer has no major success in professional tennis in last two or three years. Right now, he is losing against every player... His last win was in January against Chela. Since then he lost to players like: Hewitt, Ginperi, Ancic, Verdasco, Olivier Rochus, Soderling. On the other hand, Kim is doing quite good at the moment. He played second round of Australian Open, won a challenger in Dallas, tried to play claycourt tournaments but finally returned to America to play hardcourt tournaments. And he is doing good now... He reached main draw in Indian Wells defeating Sargisian and Garcia Lopez, in main draw he won against Youznhy in two and lost to Gasquet. In my oppinion, Melzer can only dream defeating those players. Still, Kim played great during qualifying rounds for Nasdaq Open. In first round he won against Nathan Healey 6-0 6-3 and yesterday he defeated Marcos Daniel 3-6 6-3 6-2. So, when we look at the form of both players we see big advantage of Kevin Kim + his own crowd + nice odds make this a must bet.

Selection	Over 24.5 Total Games
Strength	7/10
Date	22/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Unibet @ 1.80 (Back)
Reasoning	This should be a great game for a first round match. Fabrice Santoro made a great start at the begining of the season reaching quarter finals of Australian Open. On his was to qf's he defeated Spadea, Pavel, Gaudio and Ferrer. Finally, he lost to David Nalbandian. Since Australian Open he had no bigger success. He played in Marseille defeating Johansson Thomas and Rusedski but losing to Clement. Still, last week Santoro lost to Xavier Malisse in Indian Wells 1-6 6-4 4-6. Karlovic has 9-8 win/loss record. He is in a little better form than his today's opponent but he struggles a lot playing three sets encounters. Ivo played great some weeks ago in Las Vegas when he reached semi finals. Last week, Ivo Karlovic played Sunrise challenger and reached semifinals. During this tournament he played four matches, eleven sets and crazy nine tiebreaks! In quarterfinals against Mayer and semifinals against Tursunov he played six sets and all six were tiebreaks, amazing... Also, Ivo Karlovic is big, giant server who bases his tennis on big serve & 'easy' points finished after two or three hits. But, this surface is a little bit slower so he won't have a great advantage of his serve. For me, Santoro is a better player, but when I compare Santoro's out-of form and Karlovic's style of play...logical consequence for me is Over 24.5 Games.

Selection	Benesova to win

Reasoning	This will be easy. Sanja Ancic is a girl from Split, Croatia. She has only 16 years, and of course without any success. Sanja is on 314 position in the word and this will be her debut on professional tennis scene. Sanja is younger sister of Mario Ancic croatian big tennis player. And I think that this is they key reason why she got a wildcard here. She cannot even reach main draw in challenger series. And this speaks a lot for her. On the other hand Benesova is very good player. She is on 33rd position in the world and a winner of Hobart Open this year. Imo, Benesova will take this with one or two dropped games.

After claycout part of the season in South Africa and tournament in Acapulco, Monaco didn't play at all. So, this will be first hardcourt tournament for him after Australian Open. On the other hand, Calleri is doing good on hard. He played in Indian Wells and lost in a really hard battle against Chilean Nicolas Massu. Also, h2h is speaking in Calleri's favour. 2005 Acapulco 16 Clay (O) A.CALLERI 7-6(4) 6-3

Re: ATP/WTA Miami Hi guys, We start the new tennis week with: WTA TOUR, NASDAQ 100, MIAMI CHAKVETADZE TO D SPREM @ 1.5 on Gamebookers GRANVILLE TO D GARBIN @ 1.8 on Betfair MIRZA TO D TATISHVILI @ 1.13 on Betfair Karolina Sprem is completely out-of-form for the 2nd year now, while Chakvetadze confirmed her OK form last week by defeating Kirilenko. The Russian has won their only previous meeting last year 2-0 in sets. In a match-up between two players of similar class, we bet on Granville because of her demolition win against Garbin just last week in Indian Wells 6:2, 6:1. Obviously, Granville will start the same with psychological advantage. In what looks like a "sure" bet Mirza is a huge favourite vs. a Georgian girl who has never won a match on an "adult" WTA tour.

Bookmaker/Price	Eurobet @ 1.50 (Back)
Reasoning	Bet of the day for me. Mikhail Youznhy is quite good hard court player. After losing in first round of Indian Wells to very good Kevin Kim he will play against Greg Rusedski today. These two guys already met once, it was on carpet and Mikhail took that match 3-6 6-3 6-4. Youzhny had some really good moments during 2006 like when he reached semifinals in Dubai and lost to Roger Federer. Before he lost to Federer he won against very good players like Hrbaty, Andreev and Olivier Rochus. On the other side Greg Rusedski is playing more and more poor. Of course, he has no major success this season. His record this season in only 2-4. In last weeks he was losing to old granpa Agassi and young boy Stanislas Wawrinka. Mikhail Younzhny is much better player, with much more condition than Greg and in a much, much better form. He mustn't have any problems defeating Greg Rusedski. Full stake for me.

Selection	Castano to win
Strength	6/10
Date	23/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.86 (Back)
Reasoning	This pick is based on current form. Catalina Castano is a typical claycourter, but she plays well on hard too. At the begining of the year she was a semifinalist of Canberra Open, later on she won against Dushevina at Australian Open. After some claycourt tournaments Castano returned to hard last week. She lost in first round against Meng Yuan in two. Now, she will play against out-of form Ekatharina Bychkova. Castano has overall record this year 9-7 and Bychkova 4-6. Bychkova had no major success this year. Latelly, she is losing against names like Yvonne meusBurger, Melinda Czink, Shennay Perry... Bychkova played only one tournament this month. It was in Indian Wells where she won in first round against Henryeta Nagyova but lost to Marion Bartoli. So, Ekatharina bychkova is totally out of form, on the other hand Castano is improving step by step, day by day, and I don't believe that Bychkova improved her tennis in last days so she can give a great match to Catalina Castano. No previous meetings.

Re: ATP/WTA Miami

Sport	Tennis
Event	Berlocq vs Young
Selection	Over 21.5 Games Total
Strength	8/10
Date	23/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Unibet @ 1.80 (Back)
Reasoning	Carlos Berlocq is a typical Argentinian, which means he is a claycourter but he finds himself on hard too. But, he is totally out of form. His 0-6 record in this year shows everything. Bjorn Phau, Leos Freidl, Tomas Behrend, Fernando Vicente, Nicolas Massu and Vince Spadea were the players who won against him. So, he is totally out of form, he didn't win a single set since January! Whats more, he has some problems with injuries... He had to retire twice this year. First time was in February and last time was last week in Indian Wells to Vincent Spadea. On the other hand, Donald Young is young american prodigy who get wildcard from time to time and he knows he must strive to give his best in this occasions. Donald young is still looking for his first ATP win. He played some futures during February in US, but without too many success. Last week he got a wildcard for Indian Wells and lost to Tim Henman in first round 1-6 3-6. Now, I belive he has much more chances to prgress to the second round. I belive this is a 50-50 match, at least for me, so Over 21.5 Games looks like the best option to me.

Event	Loit vs Vesnina
Selection	Loit to win
Strength	8/10

Reasoning	Elena Vesnina is totally out of form. In fact, I don't remember when she was inform. She had a poor start of the season losing to names like Castelvi and Llagostera Vives. She had a very easy draw at Australian Open and managed to win against Ting Li (never heard of), Schruff and Olga Savchuk all second classed players. Finally, when she faced up against Nadia Petrova she lost it taking only four games. Since AO she played only two tournaments and she lost both in first round, against Nicole Pratt who is in playing more than poorly and against Viktoria Kutuzova last week 3-6 3-6. Now, Loit is very, very expirienced player who know how to play against these kid of players. Loit isn't a world class player, but at least she is winning more than Vesnina. Loit has overall win/loss record 8/7 which is very good comparing to big nothing from Vesnina (except AO). For example, Loit won against Kutuzova at AO, same Kutuzova who won against Vesnina last week. Loit played good in Acapulco (semi finals) and Bogota (quarter finals). Last week she lost to Lisa Raymond in three in Indian Wells. Loit is doing ok, she is in better form than Vesnina who didn't win in last two months. All in all, bet against Elena Vesnina

Event	Bracciali vs Bastl
Selection	Bracciali to win
Strength	9/10
Date	23/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.69 (Back)
Reasoning	Bracciali is a big server, and as a big server he prefers hardcourt, of course. Bracciali had some really good displays on hard this season, for example reaching third round of Rotterdam comming from a qualification rounds. He has wins against Lu, Horna, Andreev, Calatrava... players that are at least a little better than Bastl. Bracciali was playing good in Indian Wells defeating Luis Horna in two, but he lost in next round against Dominik Hrbaty 5-7 5-7. On the other hand, Bastl had some injuries two years ago, and he has never recovered from it. I mean he never reached his level again. Bastl is 31 years old and I'm sure he can't reach his best again. He is now playing challengers, but without any success. Bastl played only one match witch is over challenger serie, it was in Davis Cuo and he lost it to Guccione easily. Bastl came from qualifying round. Tipsarevic retired to him and he won over old grandpa Koubek. Now, this tournament will be past for him tonight.
