LilEagle Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: ATP Paris (Master Series) - WTA - Quebec - WTA Hasselt Nicolas Almagro vs Jonas Bjorkman Nicolas Almagro reached the quarter-finals last week in Lyon and showed that he can play well at indoors. He has a good serve and if he play at a good level he shouldn't have any problems vs old fox Bjorkman who isn't showing any good at all on any surface besides grass. Nicolas Almagro - 1.58 @ Pinnacle 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be improving recently and looks hard to beat. I can't have Serra as he lost in 1st round in Madrid and again last week in Lyon. SportTennis EventSafin vs Mahut SelectionSafin to win in straight sets Strength10/10 Date30/10/2006 Bookmaker/Price>Paddy Power @ 1.50 (Back) ReasoningSafin beat Mahut in Moscow a few weeks ago 6-3 6-4 a confortable win and he has continued with good results recently, almost got to semis in madrid recnetly, he should be too good for another straight sets win here.

Are you watching the match, tell me is the injury bad? Gone with you (not surprisingly) for Almagro and also for Rocchus v. Tipsarevič. Edit: Well seems to be doing quite allright, just broke Bjorkmans serve. BTW, any opinion on Verdasco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilEagle Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: ATP Paris (Master Series) - WTA - Quebec - WTA Hasselt Gilles Simon vs Daniele Bracciali Gilles Simon played well vs Ginepri last week and put a lot of pressure on him and was a little bit unlucky. Braccali looked like a clown losing to Starace last week and doesnt seem to be in any good form at all. I'm going with Gilles Simor here but only medium stakes as Braccalis lost to Starce might been a fix. Gilles Simon - 1.96 @ Pinnacle 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important is that he had to qualify to this tournament so he should be more adaptable to the surface then Ginepri today. Ginepris best result here is 2nd round.

LilEagle Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: ATP Paris (Master Series) - WTA - Quebec - WTA Hasselt Fernando Verdasco v Michael Llodra Michael Llodra seems to be in good form. Hes's won a challenger recently and dismissed both Fish and Sidorenko very easily in the qualifies and plays at home. Fernando Verdasco is in a four games losing strike and has struggled with some injury problems lately and the surface isn't his most enjoyed one.

expert Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: ATP Paris (Master Series) - WTA - Quebec - WTA Hasselt Let me try also something in DD´s teritory Igor Andreev vs Gael Monfils The odds are simply to good to let this one slip away. The Russian "boy wonder" will get back to big stage after knee injury brought him of the courts. Reasons: H2H: Andreev won 6-3 6-2 on hard surface (2005 Marseille) Monfils hasnt done anything since august when he beat Safin Monfils pulled out of Madrid with twisted ankle PS: Watch out for the odds, as they are still rising! Igor Andreev - 3.73@10bet 5/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Grosjean vs Xavier Malisse The players have met 8 times before, and h2h is 100% on the side of Grosjean. I dont see how this could change in his "homecourt". Grosjean won the tournament in 2001, but since havent got any succes in Paris tournament. Malisse seems to hate the France (maybe he is feeling to close to home) cause he hasnt gone through the 3rd round here in Paris. In Lyon they were both kicked out of the tournament by the Tunisian born Frenchman Gicquel, both in 3 sets and both with tie break in final set. We can expect hard fight, but my money is on Grosjean, i think that home court will eventualy give him the edge and also cant get the buzzing sound of h2h record out of my head Sebastian Grosjean @ 1.53 10bet 7/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Johansson vs Vicent Spadea IMO no explanation is available. Johansson is playing in big form, reaching the Lyon final losing eventually the final vs Ančič. On the other hand Spadeas only october win is vs Satoshi Iwabuchi (who?!). But he still managed to lose the first set against "hard hitting kamikaze":lol Thomas Johansson @ 1,42 10bet 10/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reasonings to follow Marc Gicquel vs Stanislas Wawrinka I really dont know why the bookies favour the Wawrinka so much. Giquel just had a fantastic tournament beating both Grosjean and Malisse so IMO the odds are simply to high. Wawrinka also played good tournament in Basel where he reached the semis. So that makes both players on fire, but the home court advantage could prove to be decisive. Personally think that the Swiss player has chance to beat Gicquel if he keeps the 1st serve points win above the 80%. Marc Gicquel @ 2.34 10Bet 8/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arnaud Clement vs Nicolas Massu WHY DID I PICK THIS MATCH - IT MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY LATE. IF YOU´RE READING THIS PLEASE DONT BET ON MASSU & SCRAPE THIS PICK! Nicolas Massu @ 2.90 10Bet 8/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marat Safin vs Robin Soderling Got to give to both players that they are playing great tennis. But what makes me go for Safin is the fact that he is in great form (final in Moscow and quarters in Madrid) and also the fact that he won here in 2000, 2002, 2004. Also one intersting fact. If Safin beats Soderling today it will be interesting to see if he will again win the Paris tournament...why you ask. Well thats very interesting fact. Soderling lost in Stockholm against Blake - Blake won the tournament, he lost in Madrid against Federer - Federer won the tournament, and just last week he lost to Gasquet - and guess who won the tournament, yep you re right Gasquet did. So if (read: when) today Safin beats Soderling i am clicking the outright winner button. In all my honesty i give this match an 8, just because Safin is master of f..ing up matches he could won easily Marat Safin @ 1.67 10bet 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
