Tennis: ATP Barcelona and Casablanca, WTA Budapest

[A-Team]

Barcelona Draw: http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/425/mds.pdf This is one of the strongest events on the men's tennis calendar outside the Grand Slams and Masters Series. Rafael Nadal is the top seed and he looks unstoppable at the moment. This is reflected in his outright price of 1.4 with Stan James which is not likely to be bettered by much once odds are released elsewhere. It's impossible to call a price that short value but given his dominance on clay it looks fair enough. With 1/3 of the odds available for a place there isn't much value to be found in the other half of the draw either. Last year's runner-up Tommy Robredo looks to have a good chance to repeat the feat but isn't a very attractive price at 8/1 given the each way terms. Casablanca Draw: http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/360/mds.pdf Casablanca by contrast is one of the weakest events on the tour. Top seed Dominik Hrbaty is ranked 24 in the world with 2nd seed Jose Acasuso at 36. Hrbaty is in poor form but nevertheless looks a decent price at 22/1 with Stan James (16/1 at VC, 10/1 at Skybet). He has reached a semi-final and a final in his only 2 previous visits. He also has a very attractive looking draw with world #95 Alexander Peya in the first round and a local wild card waiting in the second. The other seed in his section of the draw Nicolas Massu is in poor form so there's a good chance you'd get a run for your money at big odds. The event will be streamed live by betfair.

Re: Tennis: ATP Barcelona and Casablanca, WTA Budapest I like the odds on Karlovic tomorrow vs lousy Seppi. I dont think Karlovic with his great serve and serve-volley play will give Seppi any rythm tomorrow.
