But look at the results in this tournament he does well in qualifying and nice win over Gicquel. I think he has a chance in this match! Tursunov big player but sometimes he just plays bad, first match of tournament for him I think it's worth going against him at this price.

bet_man Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Re: ATP: Gstaad/LA/Umag & WTA: Stanford/Istanbul Lisicki - Jankovic Is jankovic favorite for this match ? i think , NO. This match is at least 50-50 match. But in my opinion Lisicki have slight edge like %60-%40. This year jankovic is not playing good. Also her fitness condition is not at top level. On the other Hand , Lisicki can be the future star in wta.She showed great performance on clay court season and Wimbledon. This year jankovic beat lisicki but that was on clay , at hard courts i think lisicki has more chance.She is hitting the ball hard.She loves playing attacking style. Her serve is better than Jankovic's serve. Lisicki to beat Jankovic @2.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Re: ATP: Gstaad/LA/Umag & WTA: Stanford/Istanbul SportTennis EventJulien Benneteau v Marcos Daniel SelectionMarcos Daniel Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/PriceSportingbet @ 2.45 (Back) ReasoningBoth come through close 2 sets win in round 1. Both looked to be playing OK too. I mention Daniel strange schedule but now he's been in tournament for a few days I like him as playing well. I see this as very even match so price is nice. SportTennis EventVictor Hanescu v Florent Serra SelectionLay Florent Serra (Lay) Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 3.45 (Lay) ReasoningHanescu in very good form at the moment in past two tournaments. Plus he won this event last year so all things look good. Serra lose a lot of matches in past months he seems in very poor form. He beat Vassallo Arguello in round 1 but this is not great result I don't see how he causes Hanescu problems. SportTennis EventAndrea Petkovic v Rossana de los Rios SelectionLay Rossana de los Rios (Lay) Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 3.30 (Lay) ReasoningAfter title last week, Petkovic dominate round 1 match so think she's really playing well. This is top quality player who had injury problem with bad knee but soon should be up in rankings! De los Rios is old player, she has some skills but not at top level. Surprising win over Schnyder but maybe Schnyder is not interested in this tournament. It really was bad performance from her. SportTennis EventFabio Fognini v Simone Bolelli SelectionFabio Fognini Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 1.76 (Back) ReasoningBoth Italian players, close in ranking. Should be close match, but I'm picking favourite Fognini. He's in excellent form winning a lot of matches in past month and has only lost close matches against quality players Hanescu and Soderling. Also, did very well in this event last year so likes it here. Bolelli form is no so good so I think Fognini gets the win! SportTennis EventOscar Hernandez v Maximo Gonzalez SelectionMaximo Gonzalez Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/PriceLadbrokes @ 2.10 (Back) ReasoningWas going to bet Gonzalez in round 1 but left it as Troicki tough player. Max come through final set tie break for good win. I think he's a very good player but lost a few close matches recently. Now he's won one think he's get on a roll! Hernandez reasonable player but I like Max Gonzalez and I think he's favourite in this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmGooner Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Re: ATP: Gstaad/LA/Umag & WTA: Stanford/Istanbul Taking Haas x Dementieva double @ Evens Haas is a quality player and has played great last few months on different surfaces and possibly could have won an elusive GS only for Fed twice.Beat Jesse Levine confortably and has won this tournament before. Safin is coming to the end and despite two good battling wins against Ginepri and Gulbis, Haas should be too good at this point. Dementieva plays Hantuchova and can come through this one.6-1 winning record over her and is playing really well right now. Think she'll win this one. Mayer to beat Kunitsyn @ 8/11 Thought Mayer would be fave but he wasn't yesterday.Odds have now dropped but I'm happy to take the price.Think Mayer is really talented and seems comfortable on every surface.Seems on good form aswell and think he takes this.

Almagro has been playing well in past few weeks and the shots he has should be able to move Ljubicic around. Ljubicic playing at home but still think he struggle in this match. SportTennis EventLeonardo Mayer v Igor Kunitsyn SelectionLeonardo Mayer -1.5 games Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 1.86 (Back) ReasoningI am convinced Mayer is very good player on all surfaces. Nice win in round 1 for me and I back again no doubt! Kunitsyn beat Devverman but had bad loss to Odesnik last week. Form seems very erratic and I think he struggles in this match.

Even if Venus wins 6-3 6-2 we get money back! I don't trust Venus in any tournament other than grand slam, just don't know where focus is. Alla Kudryavtseva has had some bad times, but play at the moment seems reasonable. She come from qualifying and beat Coin in round 1 which is good. I think she can keep this close, hopefully cover big handicap! SportTennis EventMarion Bartoli v Melanie Oudin SelectionMelanie Oudin Strength10/10 Date30/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Bet365 @ 2.87 (Back) ReasoningOudin is excellent young player! She played very well in Wimbledon, first time I see her very good! She come from qualfiying here and easy in round 1 so should be good with conditions. Bartoli not to be trusted, some days purely bad! Price looks OK for a small upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear two big servers can hold serve and chance of tie break. They play 3 times before and each match have 1 tie break, now need a bit of luck and get 2. Guccione comes with confidence from winning challenger after very bad run. Fish hasn't played US hard court yet since playing Davis Cup. Maybe he justs serves well and struggles to break. I can hope! Think close match and hope tie breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not sure Lisicki consistantly can beat the top players, so price seems too low. Jankovic, OK not great, but still Jankovic and very strong player. She is excellent on hard courts in particular in US and maybe this part of the year she plays well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now another French man and I think same result. I still think Serra in ppor form, just got lucky retirement against Hanescu! I also take this price now, I think at match time Daniel will be favourite. SportTennis EventAndreas Beck v Victor Crivoi SelectionVictor Crivoi Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 2.12 (Back) ReasoningBeck has two struggles so far in tournament I don't think he plays so well. Crivoi had bad result against Brands last week but I think he comes here playing better. Wins over Kohlschreiber and Gabashvili are good, I think he can beat Beck too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radwanska also have problems against a qualifier and in general is in poorer form. Bacsinky in my opinion the better player nd is the one moving up the rankings. Should win! SportTennis EventAndrea Petkovic v Olga Govortsova SelectionLay Olga Govortsova (Lay) Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 3.00 (Lay) ReasoningPetkovic is excellent player! She is in great form, and moving up the ranking. I cannot see her lose to player like Govortsova. Govortsova had a lot of problems in last match against Kerber and I watch it was real poor quality. Easy win for Petkovic! SportTennis EventNicolas Kiefer v Tomasz Belucci SelectionTomasz Belucci Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 2.30 (Back) ReasoningI watch Kiefer against Navarro and he was poor. Too many errors and game didn't seem to be there. Won some matches in Stuttgart but still not sure he playing well. Belucci was poor against Lammer but then yesterday was excellent against Wawrinka. That was big win and now I think he will take chance and make semi final! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players have had 3 set matches in both rounds so far. Hradecka slightly better player and higher ranked. But Domachowska looks to be playing good tennis and that should mean close match. Can win this with close 2 set match or 3 set match, good chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzalez is good clay court player and now he has some wins should bring confidence. Of course Ferrero is good but bad first set yesterday against Starace makes handicap bettors worry about him. Not sre of motivation in smaller events for him, and I take Gonzalez to keep match close SportTennis EventAndreas Seppi v Nicolas Massu SelectionNicolas Massu Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 3.00 (Back) ReasoningMassu is playing the old school tennis this week and getting good results. He beat Ferrer and for a player that has been better, he should bring confidence that his game is back! Seppi is good on clay, but this week had some struggles and sometimes he can just play bad. Massu has excellent chance here for another good win and this could be a classic week for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dushevina looks in good form so far in tournament with nice wins. I've watched here and she's playing nicely but last week got very tired against Camerin. Garrigues I watch too and she looks bad. Serve is a problem and in general playing not well. Dushevina is more comfortable on the hard court and I think she wins! SportTennis EventJeremy Chardy v Igor Andreev SelectionIgor Andreev Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 2.23 (Back) ReasoningThis choice might seem like surprise but I like my chance. Andreev has been OK in first matches and record in this tournament is excellent. He gets a lot of bounce and pace with his spin and can play really well on this court. Chardy is playing good tennis but yesterday surprise to me he struggle so much with Youzhny. Andreev much harder match and I think this is value price.

Isner of course, serves huge, so far in tournament 4 sets 3 be tie breaks! Ball too I think big server and does well holding serve. With Isners returns, he should be holding serve too. They meet 1 time before, on clay and Ball wins 7-6 6-7 7-6! Oh yes! SportTennis EventSam Querrey v Dudi Sela SelectionDudi Sela (Lay) Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 3.10 (Lay) ReasoningQuerrey struggle yesterday against Sweeting which was a surprise but I still think he wins here. Form has been very good apart from finals, so can excuse one poor performance at least he won. Sela struggle against Kendrick, and I think this is going to be a bad match up. Querrey should be too strong on the hardcourts. SportTennis EventElena Dementieva v Daniela Hantuchova SelectionUnder 21 games Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/PriceSportingbet @ 1.83 (Back) ReasoningGetting under 21 looks like a good opportunity. Hantuchova has had a couple of tough matches so far and I think she struggle here. Dementieva has looked good against Keothavong and Kirilenko looking like she wants to win quick. I think Dementieva will control this match and finish it in 2 comfortable sets. SportTennis EventSerena Williams v Samantha Stosur SelectionSamantha Stosur Strength10/10 Date31/07/2009 Bookmaker/Price>Betfair @ 5.00 (Back) ReasoningSerena has had tough matches so far against Li and Czink. I think this will be even harder, and chance of big upset! Serena play has looked erratic with several errors. Stosur has come through nicely against Cibulkova and Niculescu and seems to play well. She is the type of player I think when playing well can make the big upset, so let's try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of potential and can play hard on all surfaces. Yesterday poor serving made it a hard match against Kunitsyn, but he should have won it easily and was impressive first half of the match. Fish came through very long game against Guccione in a pretty late match so less time to recover. Also rumours he struggles with side injury problem, so bet with bookmakers who pays out so long as match starts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see that helping as now have very tough match. Petkovic is quality player and coming up ranking, and this should be another win for her. SportTennis EventAndreas Beck v Marcos Daniel SelectionMarcos Daniel Strength10/10 Date01/08/2009 Bookmaker/PriceSportingbet @ 2.10 (Back) ReasoningDaniel playing very strong tennis. I back him yesterday and want to back again. I watched match against Serra and he was very good. I also watched Beck against Crivoi and this match was not so good. He made a lot of errors but Crivoi was even worse so Beck won. Daniel I think will be too solid in this match and should be favourite.

Very strong and hits big, plays well on hard surface - had a fantastic win over Serena last night and although Serena made alot of errors, Stosur played a great match.Bartoli is good player but spent alot of energy beating Jankovic and looked sluggish towards the end.

Dementieva has looked excellent to me so far in torunament back to form she had at start of the year.

Ball has done excellent, but run has had some fortune. Tursunov needed to retire with ankle problem then yesterday Isner too had ankle problem. So if Mayer ankle is good he has great chance! Mayer had strange tournament too, terrible period against Kunitsyn then benefit from Fish injury yesterday. But I still think he quality player and definate better than Ball, and this price seems OK.
