radevd Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: ATP Auckland/Sydney and WTA Hobart/Sydney 11th - 17th Jan nalbandian will kill hewitt. expect hewitt to drop serve once in the first game. 6-4 or 6-3 first set betting. good odds on it nalbandians way. Good pick. Nalbandian 1.50+Del Potro 1.22=1.83 That will be a very interesting encounter. Nalbandian dismashed Llodra, Hewitt had hard games won by exclusively by his brave spirit. But I think Nalbandian movement, shotmaking is generally better. For me he's the winner of this tournament and Hewitt is a bit tired, I don't think he have ability to make the crack here. Del Potro - a calm, smart players should have no problems against inconsistent Troicki - a talent, but a player with not enough maturity. Their recent meeting on same surface was one-sided. Another ala Gulbis player in argentinian way. Kolschreiber 1.72 German played with confidence today against Ferrerro, especially at key-moments. Ferrer will work, but Philip showed us he's not a pushover. Match against Federer was a show of his capabilities. He's more gifted, a wonderful backhand from him. H2H is convincing, because last two matches were a shock for Ferrer ( 6-1,6-0; 6-3,6-2 ).:clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iam going again against Kohlschreiber with Ferrer i hope this time he dont pull it out of the bag with a outstanding set come back,good luck with your bets.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procapperpicks Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: WTA Moorilla Hobart International 14th January' date= 00:00 GMT Magdalena Rybarikova - Melinda Czink Rybarikova is one of the biggest talents in tennis, the 20 year old slovakian is very good behind the baseline, she must improve her serve, as a new generation player she prefers to play with strength, she likes to finish the points quickly and that’s because of it she prefers to play on hardcourts, last year she has a 30-9 record when playing in hardcourts. Czink is an hardcourt player too, she is on good shape but is very hard to see the Hungarian player pass more than 1/2 rounds per tournment. Of course the Hungarian is not bad but it’s too hard see her on the Semifinal’s of one WTA tournment, seriously we don’t believe that gonna happen today, Rybarikova win yesterday against Penneta easily so we believe she gonna repeat the nice exibition today and gonna pass through to the semifinals. 4 units on Magdalena Rybarikova @ 1.74 Pinnacle Magdalena Rybarikova - Melinda Czink 6-0 / 1-6 / 7-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procapperpicks Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: ATP Auckland/Sydney and WTA Hobart/Sydney 11th - 17th Jan Philipp Kohlschreiber v David Ferrer Heineken Open 15th January, 01:00 GMT After the very poor end of season last year of David Ferrer the Spanish player hopes for better things in 2009, Ferrer after Wimbledon 2008 practically disappear with the poor registry of 5-9 on hardcourts/indoors, really bad for one of the best tennis players actually. Ferrer has one of the best returns of the circuit, the Spanish could return well against everybody, the weaker point of Ferrer is his serve, on the other side we have the German Kohlschreiber, he is a good returner too and he has one of the most beautiful backhands in the circuit. So why bet on Ferrer? Ferrer has points to defend here, he was an ancient champion of Heineken Open, he won in 2007 here and he loves this tournament, and anyone believes that the bad form of Ferrer will prevail so much longer? No way. Bet on David here. 3 units on David Ferrer @ 2.00 Bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: ATP Auckland/Sydney and WTA Hobart/Sydney 11th - 17th Jan God awful 0-6 yesterday, would have been very different if Wozniacki had taken any of her 3 match points:sad CILIC @ 1.61 Blue Sq. An exhibition but this looks just about OK. Cilic started the season well last week winning in Chennai, came here and lost to Verdasco but I'll put this down to him coming off the title win. Now he should be a it more refreshed and used to these conditions and should really take care of Moya. Moya lost to Dav Verman last week in Chennai an event Moya used to dominate and lost to Federer earlier this week. I can't see him doing much damage this year and young Cilic should control this match. KOHLSCHREIBER @ 1.75 Centrebet. Kohlschreiber to have the firepower in this one for my money. He played decent last week, and scrapped a tough win against Ferrero yesterday. He's here to defend his title and I think he'll pass this test. Ferrer really struggled in the back end of last year and a tight 3 set win over Gicquel in the first round doesn't convince me he's playing well again. BENESOVA @ 1.83 Paddy Power. Benesova has looked pretty impressive this week coming through in straight sets against Tanasugarn, Santangelo and Dulko. Rybarikova has had a much more eventful week, going 3 sets with K Bondarenko, beating top seed Pennetta, and a strange 6-0 1-6 7-6 against Czink yesterday in the heat. I think Benesova is the better player and should be fresher and the price is reasonable. DEMENTIEVA @ 2.37 Blue Sq. Going against Serena again. She saved 3 match points in coming through against Wozniacki and didn't look great at times. Dementieva also had a tough match against Radwanska but she's on a roll at the start of the year and looks to be playing better stuff. H2H is 4-2 to Serena but Dementieva won the last 2 both in big matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopping value even if she loses. The breakfest with Radwanska did not inspire confidence but I think she'll cope with the tough conditions better, as she did at the olympics.

My thought it how will it affect Nieminen? That's a pretty tough loss to take and coming out against the same guy the week after:unsure.

The avalanche started as soon as Pinnacle turned their price up to 2.57. maxmix, Venus has never won the AO but all that does sometimes is give us value odds and Venus extra motivation. Venus is true tournament favourite IMO. The theory for Serena will be to use Sydney and the first week of the AO to hit peak form & fitness but she's really got a good deal of catch up to do. There's plenty of better seasoned opponents that will be capable of ousting her in the second week. Take Venus, is my call :hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculating, Venus could possibly be headed for a Safina quarter. Sharapova was about 100/1 the whole tournament last year because of her draw.

They're usually quick to pay out but I'm still waiting for this one. They don't like it up 'em. Either Serena was really crocked after the Woz match or else she decided to rest before the AO.Dementieva had the full 24hr recovery while Serena played the night before. In the heat and her lack of condition, she gave up on balls even before Dementieva played the shot in some cases. I believe it was more a case of she could'nt rather wouldn't. Sure, must always keep her safe but Serena is double figure odds to win AO IMO. I've already layed her at Betfair heret0win, yeah as MR I pointed out Dementieva is 3-0 over Safina on hard and seems to be hitting them the better IMO. Odds are about correct though IMO - no bet.

In general, he is much more consistent than Soderling and on the medium-pace surface should force the Swede into unforced errors. 100 % right have to add only, that Del Potro 1.44 is much more smart player and handles better the pressure, also almost for same reasons I add +Nalbandian 1.44=2.06. H2H is convincing 6-0, that's too much, also Nalby will make Gasquet move form right to left, forcing Gasquet to try winners. Argentinian likes playing against attacking players and will punish frenchman's mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
