Mr Intensity Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Main draw: FEDERER, Roger (1) vs MATHIEU, Paul-Henri SERRA, Florent vs GROSJEAN, Sebastien BRACCIALI, Daniele vs TURSUNOV, Dmitry MIRNYI, Max vs HAAS, Tommy (16) HEWITT, Lleyton (11) vs CHELA, Juan Ignacio LOPEZ, Feliciano vs JOHANSSON, Thomas SIMON, Gilles vs SRICHAPHAN, Paradorn MALISSE, Xavier vs DAVYDENKO, Nikolay (6) LJUBICIC, Ivan (4) vs ALMAGRO, Nicolas MARTIN, Alberto vs CLEMENT, Arnaud FERRERO, Juan Carlos vs GOLDSTEIN, Paul SODERLING, Robin vs GONZALEZ, Fernando (15) BAGHDATIS, Marcos (10) vs BENNETEAU, Julien HRBATY, Dominik vs Q PHAU, Bjorn vs ACASUSO, Jose SAFIN, Marat vs ROBREDO, Tommy (7) STEPANEK, Radek (8) vs VLIEGEN, Kristof MOYA, Carlos vs GAUDIO, Gaston BJORKMAN, Jonas vs HENMAN, Tim MURRAY, Andy vs FERRER, David (12) NIEMINEN, Jarkko (14) vs Q POLANSKY, Peter (WC) vs DANCEVIC, Frank (WC) Q vs Q GINEPRI, Robby vs NALBANDIAN, David (3) BLAKE, James (5) vs BESTER, Philip (WC) SANTORO, Fabrice vs GASQUET, Richard Q vs VERDASCO, Fernando Q vs LL BERDYCH, Tomas (13) vs NESTOR, Daniel (WC) YOUZHNY, Mikhail vs RUSEDSKI, Greg Q vs Q MASSU, Nicolas vs NADAL, Rafael (2) Well that looks an absolutely cracking draw. I suppose with Fed and Nadal not playing since Wimbledon this would be the time to go for a big price but not for me. No action in the outright but I think this is set up to be a great tournament so should have lots of action during the week. Also the chance of a Henman/Murray second round:ok.

Kiwi_punter Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August I'm going to start a system of backing Federer to win by 2 sets to 1 in three set matches starting in this tournament. Odds are always good for this bet. Federer 2-1 over Mathieu. Odds 6-1. Stan James. 1 point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridle Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August Quite a few books betting on this event on the outright market, so a bit of value to be had in my eyes: Haas @80/1 ew Stan James Tursunov @100/1 ew Skybet Gasquet @150/1 ew Sportingbet Mirnyi @250/1 ew Boylesports Ferrer @200/1 ew Sportingbet Others I like at big prices: Malisse-Hrbaty-F Lopez-Ginepri Just having a dabble as I hope to see Federer not wnning the Roger's Cup :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinningTipster Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August Hi guys, We continue with the following pick: ATP TOUR, TORONTO MASTERS ACASUSO TO D PHAU @ 1.6 on gamebookers Phau is completely out-of-form having lost 7 out of last 7 matches. Acasuso is a great claycourter who has consistent results on hard courts and will probably have too much consistency for Phau who can make a lot of unforced errors. www.WinningTipster.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christiano Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August Tip Detail SportTennis EventRuano Pascual - Bammer SelectionBammer Strength10/10 Date07/08/2006 Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 1.62 (Back) ReasoningBammer seems to be better choice here.She had pretty good start at San diego last week where she won against Safarova and in second round she played really good match against Pierce.Ruano is not impressiva on hard.At San Diego she won against out of form Likhovtseva and then she was trashed by Vaidisova 1:6 0:6.She is rather doubles player and she usually plays poor in singles.Bammer has far more games played on hard this year and I see her as a favourite to win this one.

Mr Intensity Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August SportTennis EventToronto Masters Series SelectionSODERLING v Gonzalez Strength10/10 Date07/08/2006 Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 2.25 (Back) ReasoningI think Soderling has a great chance here. H2H is a very nice 3-1 to Soderling with Gonzalezs only win coming when the Swede had to retire on clay. Two of the wins have come on North American hard courts including one earlier this year in Indian Wells. Gonzo has been playing the US hard courts recently which is a help, and he's done alright, but I think the losses against Malisse and Tursunov are a bit poor for a guy of his class. Soderling has shown good form for most of this year and despite coming off clay in Sweden a few weeks ago I think he can get a win here.

ArtMaster Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August Tip Detail SportTennis EventG Simon v P Srichaphan SelectionG Simon Strength8/10 Date07/08/2006 Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 2.53 (Back) ReasoningGilles Simon is a player enjoying a good season - the 22 year old has enjoyed wins on hard courts over Berdych at the Australian open aswell as the likes of Nieminen and Moodie also indoors. His form as a whole is great with a terrific clay court season with Verdasco and Gaudio amongst his scalps. Although clay court cannot be compared to hard courts it is clear that, despite a few recent losses in early rounds, he is a man with reason to be confident in his game unlike Paradorn...... Srichaphan, who enjoyed great wins which seem like yesterday!, has stuggled all year aside from one good run in Indian Wells where he made the semi final. Recently he has lost twice to Carlsen on hard courts in the US who, despite playing well of late, is no great player. He also has several early exits and despite the fact that hard courts would be his preferred choice of surface he is priced to low IMO hence making the young frenchman the value pick here.

Mr Intensity Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August SportTennis EventToronto Masters Series SelectionLOPEZ v Johansson Strength10/10 Date07/08/2006 Bookmaker/PriceStan James @ 1.66 (Back) ReasoningLopez looks like a solid selection here. It's a shame, but Johansson hasn't been the same since his eye injury. In fancy he's only won one match and that was against Fognini ranked 294 and he's had 7 losses. He's had a bit of a break since Bastad so he may be in better shape but lack of matches is still going to hurt and I think he'll struggle here. Lopez found some form in Gastad a few weeks ago and getting a couple of matches in Washington should help, and I think he can take this one pretty comfortably. H2H is 2-0 to Johansson but he's a different player now. SportTennis EventToronto Masters Series SelectionRUSEDSKI v Youzhny Strength10/10 Date07/08/2006 Bookmaker/PriceStan James @ 2.37 (Back) ReasoningYouzhny won a few matches in Kitbuhel a couple of weeks ago but aprt from that he's had a shocking year. I've never really thought too much of his on hard courts and I think Greg can take this one down. Youzhny is 3-7 in his last 10 and 8-17 since 2000 against big servers. I think that's because he struggles to return from his backhand side which is quite a 'whippy' action and he has little control against a big serve. Greg is coming here after a poor run but he's had a few weeks off and should be over the hip problems he had at Queens and Wimbledon. Last year in Montreal he really turned it on reaching the semis and I think he can get some wins here. H2H is 1-1 with Youzhny winning a semi final at home in St Petersburg where he was totally inspired and Greg winning at Indian Wells easily earlier this year.

ArtMaster Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August Tip Detail SportTennis EventJ Chela v L Hewitt SelectionJ Chela Strength7/10 Date08/08/2006 Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 3.34 (Back) ReasoningCrazy Price IMO here - Hewitt hasnt been himself this year as losses to the likes of Daniel, Goldstein and Seppi will show. He just doesnt seem to have the same game he was using to dominate opponents in recent seasons. Maybe the birth of his child etc has mellowed him too much! In all seriousness he seems to have more to concentrate on these days and it could be affecting his tennis. Chela had Hewitt beat in this years Australian open but the Ozzie squeezed through and with a H2H which is all square I couldnt have Hewitt such a big favourite. Chela has also been on great form of late on clay - and unlike many south americans, his game is very well adapted to hard courts. This price could well contract before the off so will take the 3.34 now which to me is great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: ATP Toronto Masters Series 7th-13th August SportTennis EventToronto Masters Series SelectionSANTORO v Gasquet Strength10/10 Date07/08/2006 Bookmaker/Price>Bet365 @ 2.75 (Back) ReasoningI think Santoro is definately worth a shot here. He has shown great form at times this year and should definately be up for this one. Last two visits to Toronto he's reached the quarters and played very well so clearly likes this venue. Gasquet has started to show form winning in Nottingham and Gstaad but you never know how he's going to show up. He needs his timing to be perfect otherwise he can be woeful and that's why I'm willing to take a risk against him today. Santoros game could well match up well against him and the old man has a chance here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Lopez with his arkward big left hand serve and solid groundstrokes but he always seems liable to self-implode to me if things arent going his way. He played well against Murray until the rain when he got turned over upon resumption. Johansson in poor form has had eye surgery and some poor defeats but the thing is many of these were 3 sets so he hasnt been getting trounced week in and week out. He has won the Australian open and is a good player on his day. This is a good tournament for him to get going again IMO with a H2H of 2-0 against Lopez I fancy he is capable of staying in a tight game, hence making 2.48 value.
