Mr Intensity Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Re: ATP Brisbane/Chennai/Doha & WTA Auckland/Brisbane/Hong Kong & Hopman Cup 5th-11th REZAI +5.5 games @ 1.83 Will Hill. I thought about taking Rezai straight up but I'll take the cap instead. Rezai clearly likes playing here having reached the final last year and playing good start here. I've watched a coupel of her matches and she's been impressive. Dementieva started her first match poorly but since then has been very clinical. H2H is 2-0 to Dementieva but all of the sets have been close. SODERLING @ 1.57 Will Hill. Just about a good enough price to back. Soderling has been pretty clinical so far and should have the beating of Stepanek on this surface. H2H is 4-1 with Stepaneks only win coming on clay. GASQUET @ 2.30 Sportinbet. Looks a real close one but I'll take Gasquet at this price. Fresh season and it's time for the enigmatic Frenchman to get back on track. Tsonga had a crazy win over Nieminen in the last round and I just fancy Gasquet here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsonga had a crazy win over Nieminen in the last round and I just fancy Gasquet here. I wouldn't bet on Gasquet. Of course he's in form, but Tsonga 1.66 is confident after his turnaround 0-6,7-6,7-6 against Nieminen, also we all know Gasquet can't make the step up a few years and when he's getting a harder opponenet, no matter how beautiful his backhand is. Serve and powerful grounstrokes that's Tsonga advantage. J.Tipsarevic 2.37 Cilic is the guy with big serve, but Tipsarevic is rested has no injury problems and he likes playing against opponenets with big serve like Roddick for example and at baseline he's far better than his opponent. I always has been pessimistic about Cilic, he's making too many errors. P.S. Pity for Stakhovsky, but he's a very talented guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belated happy new year everyone. :ok I took Bartoli @ 2.25 on PP and it's been snipped to 2.1 during the day. The prices are the wrong way round imo. Bartoli isn't seeded higher for nothing. Mauresmo was poor against Dokic (177) and Coin (95) while Ivanovic simply gifted her the last match with another well below par performance. Bartoli has had very little difficulty so far and appears to have lost some weight over the break which indicates hard work and a good fitness level. Mauresmo leads the H2H 4-0 but they're all from when she was at her best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartoli hit some superb winners and her defence was excellent. She seems to have worked on her serve too. I like Azarenka a lot but Bartoli could be a decent value pick there.

Mr Intensity Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Re: ATP Brisbane/Chennai/Doha & WTA Auckland/Brisbane/Hong Kong & Hopman Cup 5th-11th Dear me some crazy results this week:sad MONFILS @ 1.80 Stan James. Willing to oppose Roddick again. Monfils was immense yesterday against Nadal and anything close to that will take care of Roddick. The problem is, will he perform the day after a huge performance? I'm willing to bet he will. He's a great showman, should get the crowd on his side and I think he'll play well again. H2H is 3-2 to Monfils, 2 of his wins were on clay but he also won indoors last year in Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2H is 3-2 to Monfils, 2 of his wins were on clay but he also won indoors last year in Madrid. Agree with you here, Monfils first is totally different player this year, second Roddick shouldn't be very hard for him. Mathieu 2.00 Really like frenchmans this week: Tsonga, Monfils, Mathieu show very good game. Verdasco is an impulsive guy and surely Mathieu will stick in long baseline rallies. Paul-Henry is an intelligent player and have much better serve than his opponent. H2H is convincing 4-0 for Verdasco, but it was 2 years ago and all matches were very, very close. A.Murray 1.83 Many people will be afraid to bet again on Murray when he's playing against Federer. As I said before Roger was very inconsistent yesterday, not convincing at all. Murray on the other side. Federer now looks error prone and Murray will dissasemble him. Federer won't handle again the expectations. Interesting fact is that Murray won last 3 matches against Swiss, losing in the first set, that tells a lot about his capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Intensity Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Re: ATP Brisbane/Chennai/Doha & WTA Auckland/Brisbane/Hong Kong & Hopman Cup 5th-11th MATHIEU @ 2.10 Will Hill. Mathieu looks like he’s brought the good stuff this week and I’m willing to back him as a dog here. H2H is 4-0 to Verdasco but they’ve all been really close. I remember the one in Australia the scoreline was close but Mathieu was dominating the game and was looking like taking it in straight sets before turning his ankle. Verdasco has looked OK this week but I just slightly prefer Mathieu here. GASQUET @ 1.625 Pinnacle. Impressed with Gasquet against Tsonga and making that comeback should give him plenty of confidence. I really like him in this matchup and he should be able to control the rallies and pass Stepanek consistently. Stepanek did well to make a comeback against Soderling but I really don’t fancy him for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back Roddick 1pt 4.30 Betfair Total instability of the results. Beginning of the season, don't rush with big bets. AndrewMurray I agree tennis it's a snake sport, but he's still the best for betting. Simply we should watch more matches, in order to understand it better. Agree with you zero, because Roddick is better that 2-3 months ago. He's more patient, comes into the net, big forehand, a little reminds me 2003 year when he was the best. It will depend from baseline rallies and the price i think it's too big. Their last meeting 6-4,1-6,6-1 in Shanghai was pretty close, in patches Roddick outplayed Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray struggling to make final Murray needed treament in his win over Federer Defending champion Andy Murray is struggling to be fit for Saturday's Qatar Open final against Andy Roddick at 1530 GMT because of a back injury. The British number one needed treatment in the final set on his way to beating Roger Federer in Friday's semi-final. And after first noticing the problem at last week's warm-up event in Abu Dhabi, the Scot is not prepared to take a risk just a week before the Australian Open. "If my back is going to be like this I won't play on Saturday," he said. 606: DEBATE It's almost as if Murray is a better version of Federer himself Chazfazzer01 "It was getting stiff as the match progressed. My back has been giving me some problems ever since Abu Dhabi. "I don't know whether it has something to do with the nature of the court, rather than the weather." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7821469.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event he plays and feels sore, I've specced a couple of first set scores, seeing as if he does actually play and feel bad, he'll just retire and thus bets would be voided (unless you took tournament winner option on Betfair). **Did they make any sense, it sounded pretty bad when I typed that** Anyway; Roddick wins first set 6-0 @ 201 Centrebet Roddick wins first set 6-1 @ 67 Sportsbet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devvarman_pick Devvarman @3.65 Somdev Devvarman is a two time NCAA singles champion(that don't has to mean anything),turned pro in Juli 2008 and is currently ranked 204. At the end of the last season i've noticed a couple of brilliant performances by this 23years old Indian_surprising win over Almagro on clay in three sets,final match in Nashville(wins over players like Warburg,Levine,Reynolds before that final). Theres a lot of improvement in his play and it seems that he is in preety good phisical shape.His main target this season is entering in Top 100 ATP players,what will be very hard,indeed.Now he has great chance to start accomplishing that target in his first match this year in Chennai(India),on home ground,what is good advantage for him,i think! Has anybody notice Devvarman this week in Chennai..:unsure I have followed (betting on) this guy,in the first three rounds.I've posted my first Devvarman pick (Kim 6:3 6:3) here,after that backed him two times what brings me unexpected profit:D,sorry for not posting,but just don't want to post some'imposible'bets.. With the reasoning from up above i was looking for a value in his matches,victores over Moya(4:6 7:5 6:4) and Karlovic(7:6 6:4)! ..Cilic is class better hard court player,but i'm convinced that bookies have set wrong odds on this one,we could easily see an upset here:hope.I'm on home boy once again,already:tongue2in the final!
