Mr Intensity Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March I'm not sure. Of course he's played great tennis so far and especially against Nadal. But I was disappointed with Nadal' date=' especially off the ground. Djokovic will return better and his groudies are a whole different level. If I make a play it will be on Roddicks side but so far undecided.[/quote'] Not going to play it...Djokovic should be too strong but not at 1.4;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March KOROLEV @ 1.7 Betfair. A lot going on in this match up and I'm just willing to side with Korolev at this price. Korolev got a big win over Gonzalez yesterday despite a massive wobble from 5-2 up in the 2nd set to clinch it in the tiebreak. He said he got really nervous and it's a concern he has a let down today. However, he is good at this event reaching the semis last year - he had a big win over Blake in the round robin then backed it up by beating Querrey easily. He's got destructive groundstrokes and should be able to get something going at some point on Andersons serve. Anderson has done extremely well coming through qualies and beating Llodra and Isner but I'm not sure about him today. He's now had 5 matches and this is by far his biggest match at this level so I'm worried about a combination of nerves and fatigue (also rumours of an injury from earlier in the week). Korolev should put in a decent performance and I think he's a justified fav here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March Still got Delic from yesterday - 3.54 available now at Pinnacle! GINEPRI @ 1.61 Pinnacle. Still not a fan of Gulbis at all, looking at the score against Luczak very likely the Aussie wasn't 100%. Ginepris recent return to form in beginning to look more solid, and he's had a couple of very good wins against Malisse and Baghdatis. Playing well I think he betters Gulbis in every department and should take this one down without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March Agree entirely ST:ok LOPEZ @ 2.86 Pinnacle. Lopez is so talented, it's incredible he's achieved so little at the top of the game. He was shocking in 2006 and most of last year when his ranking slipped to 96. He improved in the second half of last year but seemed to be slumping again at the start of this year going 1-4 before this week. But he's suddenly turned it on beating Tipsarevic, Gasquet and Ferrer which is very impressive. He's serve huge, dominating at the net and being aggressive off the ground and seems to be very close to his best. He reached the final here in 2004 and took a set off Federer in that final so clearly likes this place. Davydenko has been very good so far, he was rock solid against Murray who was a little off. But I don't think that match has any bearing as Lopez presents a totally different style. Clearly a style he has had problems with as Lopez is 4-0 H2H although all were a long time ago and Davydenko has definately improved. The way I see this match, is it is all about how Lopez plays. If he serves strong he should be able to hold easily most of the time and he will be able to create chances on Davydenkos serve, especially putting pressure on the second serve by chip charging. With the form lopez has shown so far, most importantly beating a very similar player in Ferrer, have to take this price. Have to say I'm a little bit pumped up after that comeback. Vamos Lopez! Enjoy yourself in the showers son!!!:loon:loon:loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about Yan, Jankovic was injured and she hasn't really done much at tour level apart from a very good run in Toronto last year. Schnyders form has been shocking this year, and she's struggled and couldn't back her with much confidence at all. Just expect lots of breaks of serve and a good chance of a 3 setter:unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Intensity Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March RODDICK -3.5 @ 1.83 Will Hill. Quickly...I just fancy this today. Roddick is playing awesome tennis and should be all over Lopez. Can't see Roddick being broken or Lopez even getting close to a break point. Roddicks groudies and passing shots have also been very sharp this week and he should create chances on Lopezs serve. Lopez looked pretty tired yesterday and this being a big final and his first for a while he could come out pretty tight. Roddick will get the crowd revved up with his serve and could really dominate Lopez in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March Roddick covered the cap! Excellent performance from him all week, massive wins for his confidence over Nadal and Djokovic. Apart from that loss to Kohlschreiber at the Aussie Roddicks been really good this year. Also have to say something about Lopez - I've really enjoyed watching him this week. That should get him up to around 31 in the rankings and hopefully he can start putting in more consistant performances. I'm looking forward to Wimbledon already!

I'd say that it's a good match up for Canas and he has come through without any problems so far (haven't seen anything but he could be getting close to the form he showed this time last year). But Querrey has been playing fairly solid stuff and getting results which in the past he hasn't done as much as I would expect (the reason I don't like him:lol). I would say Canas, but the prices look about right, and a lot of dogs have been hitting this week so wouldn't want to put you off Querrey but make sure you get top price of 2.87 @ Sportingbet.

StrangeTrip Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March EventKevin Anderson v Sam Querrey SelectionKevin Anderson Strength10/10 Date09/03/2008 Bookmaker/PriceSportingbet @ 2.63 (Back) ReasoningKevin Anderson (21 y o, 175th) was almost unknown before this tournament. Taken out qualifs notably by beating Zverev (who had beaten Kohlschreiber and Ferrer 15 days ago), he did not then lose 1 set to reach his 1st final of a tournament ATP. He beats at first Llodra who has already won 2 tournaments this season, certainly decreased physically but all the same. Then the giant Isner is always hard to beat on his lands. Then he flattens Korolev who had just beaten Gonzalez. Finally yesterday he beats Ginepri who returns there form because he had beaten Malisse and Baghdatis. Querrey (20 y o, 66th) if he is younger has already more experiment. But it will be for him too his 1st final ATP. Beautiful results also especially in front of Canas impressing since the beginning of the week. This match should be very tight and it is for me almost of 50/50. If the bookmakers see Querrey as big favourite it is because he is more known and has more big victories. But he is not better that Ginepri or Llodra and we do not know where will stop Anderson who could live a very nice tale this evening.

Mr Intensity Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Re: ATP Dubai/Las Vegas & WTA Bagalore 3rd - 9th March Agree entirely ST:ok ANDERSON @ 2.54 Betfair. It's been another great week for dogs and I've got no reason to believe this one can't hit. The price has dropped quite a bit today, and I should have taken it earlier so quite reluctant to take this price but want to make the play. Both guys are playing really well, and play a very similar game, so this should be really close. If it comes down to tiebreaks, I'd favour Anderson and I've been really impressed by him this week. Saw him against Ginepri and he was a lot better from the back of the court than I remember him, in that area he's really got more solid and can hit winners off both sides. I think Querrey will hit more errors, and probably more winners, but it's the errors that will give him problems in his service games. Slight concern with Anderson this beig his first ATP final and he's had a lot of matchs, but all straight sets in the main draw and a real easy one against Korolev should help. This is also Querreys first ATP final, but he has a lot more experience on the tour which should help. Because of the similarities in the styles today, and both are playing great, I'm calling this close to 50/50, slight edge to Querrey on experience and got to take this price to end the week on a high.
