Tennis: ATP Shainghai and WTA Osaka/Linz

Sport	Tennis
Event	Sania Mirza v Viktoriya Kutuzova
Selection	Lay Viktoriya Kutuzova (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 3.30 (Lay)
Reasoning	Kutuzova bad player on hard courts, and only seems to get wins over clay court players. She in round 2 only because of retirement of Kirilenko. Mirza good aggressive player on hard courts and got win over Peer in round 1. She should dominate match up, and beat Kutuzova a few weeks ago, only concern niggling wrist problem.

Event	Melinda Czink v Vania King
Selection	Lay Vania King (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 3.40 (Lay)
Reasoning	Czink far better player and should take match. Czink showing nice form recently and her aggressive ground strokes should stop King using her good net play. King OK player but more suited to doubles and the power of Czink should be the difference. Head 2 head is a nice 2-0 for Czink.

Event	David Ferrer v Feliciano Lopez
Selection	Lay Feliciano Lopez (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 3.65 (Lay)
Reasoning	This is interesting match up, with Lopez leading on head 2 head. But all of his wins are on the quicker hard courts and conditions in Shanghai seem to be slow. Lopez this year showing bad form and has some very bad losses. Ferrer form is questionable, but he got nice win over Gasquet in round 1 and these conditions shouls suit his game.

Event	Tommy Robredo v Florian Mayer
Selection	Lay Florian Mayer (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 4.00 (Lay)
Reasoning	Can't see many chances for Mayer. He is play I don't like and in particular on hard courts no good. Mayer beat Petzschner in round 1 but that guy is very out of form. Robredo I think is still playing quite well, missing a spark from a few years ago but still play quality tennis. He is very solid and should beat the Mayer.

Event	Gael Monfils v Lleyton Hewitt
Selection	Lay Lleyton Hewitt (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 2.76 (Lay)
Reasoning	To me this seems like a good match up for Monfils. He's playing excellent from what I have watched, and playing with good style. Sometimes he is too defensive but right now seems to have balance right. Hewitt is playing OK but I see Monfils winning most of the longer rallies with his defensive and that being the difference in the match.

Event	Rafael Nadal v James Blake
Selection	James Blake
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 4.80 (Back)
Reasoning	Blake is definately worth a chance here. LAst week very close match against NAdal and now another chance. Blake is one of the players who gives Nadal big problems on hard courts because of his aggressive play. Cilic really beat down on Nadal last week and if Blake plays well he can really attack Nadal. Nadal looks to be playing OK but physically still seems limited and doesn't seem worth backing at the moment.

Event	Alize Cornet v Kristina Barrois
Selection	Lay Kristina Barrois (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 2.30 (Lay)
Reasoning	Cornet having very poor season, but lately results maybe a little bit better. Also I think coming into this part of season she can see some improvement. She is much better player than Barrois, and I like chances for Cornet part because this is 'new' part of season so chance of fresh start.

Event	Olga Govortsova v Carla Suarez Navarro
Selection	Lay Carla Suarez Navarro (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	14/10/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 2.40 (Lay)
Reasoning	Good chances here for Govortsova. She is good indoor player, and form recently is pretty good. Suarez Navarro having bad run, and is definately not indoor player. She won round 1 OK, but lost serve several times against Srebotnik who is still clearly struggling with shoulder problems.
