Re: Tennis - Stockholm, Kreml, Vienna and Bangkok

Event	Zi Yan - Yung-Jan Chan
Selection	Zi Yan
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.68 (Back)
Reasoning	Zi Yan is much more talanted HC player than her opponent and had much better form. The conditions will also suit her game much better so she has an advantage in the game.

Event	Dinara Safina - Elena Dementieva
Selection	Dinara Safina
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 2.73 (Back)
Reasoning	Elena Dementieva has never succeded to win this tournament so she surely feels some pressure on her now and the red-hot Dinara Safina has the ability to put Dementievas some times poor serve under great pressure.

Event	Stanislas Wawrinka - Juan Carlos Ferrero
Selection	Juan Carlos Ferrero
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.74 (Back)
Reasoning	Juan Carlos Ferrero put up a nice display for the first time this week when he beat a motivated Gonzalez and while JCF is playing better and better it seems like Waw is doing the opposite as his first serve % is getting lower for every match

Event	Paul-Henri Mathieu - Michael Berrer
Selection	Michael Berrer
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Coral @ 3.50 (Back)
Reasoning	Even though Paul-Henri Mathieu is the more talanted and solid player and it surely is gonna take a lot for Berrer to beat him but I can't ignore those great odds specially with PHM low serve % all week.

Event	Tommy Haas - Ivo Karlovic
Selection	Ivo Karlovic
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Stan James @ 2.38 (Back)
Reasoning	If Ivo Karlovic continues serve like he has done all week even Haas will feel it hard to break and tie-breaks aint impossible and Karlovic stands as big chance as Haas of winning them.

Event	James Blake - Thomas Johansson
Selection	Thomas Johansson
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 2.78 (Back)
Reasoning	To be able to beat Thomas Johansson in Stockholm Blake must play really good tennis all the time but I'm not sure he gut the nerves to manage that since he's racing with Haas for a place in Shanghai and I wouldnt be suprised if he cracked under pressure.

Tip Detail

Sport	Tennis
Event	Mathieu - Berrer set hc
Selection	Berrer +1.5 (Asian Handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	13/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.90 (Back)
Reasoning	I don't believe that Mathieu should be rated as a such favourite in this one.From us open he is in rather poor form and he is nothing near impressive.Wins here over poor Grosjean, Serra and Kunitsyn are also not impressive at all.Berrer has surely the game to trouble Mathieu and he can win at least one set here.

Re: Tennis - Stockholm, Kreml, Vienna and Bangkok

Event	Nikolay Davydenko - Paul-Henri Mathieu
Selection	Nikolay Davydenko
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Coral @ 1.45 (Back)
Reasoning	Paul-Henri Mathieu has been serving too poorly all week and will easily get under pressure against the russian baseline RoboCop Davydenko. PHM has the more powerfull serve but in all other apartments Davydenko is at least one level better.

Event	Serena Williams - Elena Dementieva
Selection	Serena Williams
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.41 (Back)
Reasoning	Even though Elena Dementieva trashed Safina she still had to save 7 of 8 breakballs and Serena will be a much much bigger threat to her serve if she repeats her performance. Dementieva is in form but will have hard time against Serenas power and pace.

Event	Novak Djokovic - Stanislas Wawrinka
Selection	Stanislas Wawrinka
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 4.60 (Back)
Reasoning	The price is a pure joke. Waw will be full of confidence reaching the final despite being the underdog in most matches and all the pressure will once again be on his opponent and I dont think he's gonna give up without making the serb to sweat.

Event	Thomas Johansson - Ivo Karlovic
Selection	Thomas Johansson
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 2.13 (Back)
Reasoning	Last time these met it was a tough three setter and there was only one break of serve (ToJo) and same match could be possible today. Karlovic lives much on his serve and if his serve % drops he will face big troubles since ToJo loves a target to pass and after saving 5 matchballs against Blake and with home-support Karlovic will be the one feeling the pressure

Re: Tennis - Stockholm, Kreml, Vienna and Bangkok I fullly disagree with Donald For me a no Suprising Djoko win! wtf is Wrawinka ? ( unstable in several moments ) For me the question is : what was happenning yesterday with Ferrero , to lose from this unstable Swiss I dont play this game because the very low odd on Djoko, why put some serious money on finals with this sort of odds. A absolute NO GO game ! The best thing is to go on Karlovic today. Home crowd or not ! The serve from Ivo K. Is much much better and you will see much BP possibilities for IK. In Tie break You will see TJ hopeless. Maybe not a clear 2-0 for IK but at least 2-1. Odd 1.80 lovely sunday !:gimme
