Cramer Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Sport Tennis Event Elena Dementieva v Victoria Azarenka Selection Elena Dementieva Strength 10/10 Date 14/01/2010 Bookmaker/Price Ladbrokes @ 1.61 (Back) Reasoning Going against Azarenka again. She's now had 3 really tough matches and lost her serve another 6 times against Cibulkova. Surely Dementieva will bet the one to put her away. Dementieva has been pretty solid this week will just 1 set lost and fairly comfortable matches. Watched her against Safina and she was playing well and I think she's take this one readily.

Atko Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Albert Montanes (Auckland' date= vs Lammer) x Lleyton Hewitt (Sydney, vs Baghdatis: Double at 2.37 Don't often dabble in the double market but here goes. Montanes takes on a Swiss player who is extremely lucky to be in the quarters. He faced Dan Evans in round 1 - and dropped a set - before Juan Carlos Ferrero retired through injury. He faces a player who is hitting well and likes the slower hard court. He should have too much quality for Lammer. As for Hewitt, he'll want to put on a show on home turf and I can't trust Baghdatis, in his current shape, to beat two decent players in a row (d. Troicki last night). H2Hs stand at 1-1 but I see Hewitt as the fitter player and he bludgeoned Andreas Seppi last night 6-0 6-2 - he means business here. Bet strength: 2pts This week's tournaments proving a little tougher than last week's. Hewitt loses in three sets to Baghdatis after Montanes cruised past Lammer. Well done to all who had winners.

ShanAce Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Good solid wins for Dementieva and Kohlschreiber, Peer let me down. Good 3.4pts profit though. Two bets for me tonight in one game. S Williams v Dementieva - 4pts on Dementieva @ 2.42 and S Williams v Dementieva - 8pts on OVER 22.5 games @ 1.9 I believe these odds will fall to under 2.3 before the game as its going to be a very popular and valuable bet. Both ladies have made a great start to the year winning their first 4 games. However Dementieva has had the tougher opposition beating Safina and Azarenka in straight sets. I explained how good Dementieva was in my previous post and she proved that by losing only four games against Azarenka. She's serving well and hitting the ball very smoothly and will def. give Serena a tough tough game. Serena lost a set against Rezai and was playing distinctly average for a player of her calibre. She was broken 5 times during the match and if she gives these opportunites to Dementieva - she will get beaten. This should be a very close game and I feel it could easily go to three sets. If one bet works then we will see a profit. I think the values definitely with Dementieva and the overs here and will back her at these odds any day.

Cramer Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Sport Tennis Event John Isner v Albert Montanes Selection John Isner -5.5 games Strength 10/10 Date 15/01/2010 Bookmaker/Price Paddy Power @ 4.00 (Back) Reasoning This seems worth a chance. Isner is fighting hard this week with 3 strong 3 set wins. Most importantly, he's actually breaking his opponents serve! He might he a bit tired coming into this, so should come out firing and want to take this in 2 sets. Montanes is garbage on hard courts. He couldn't dream of a better draw and Isner is a big step up. Montanes hasn't served so well so far and Isner should be able to create chances and I think he can take this easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Montanes @ 3,25 bet365 2 units Odds on Isner are insane really, it's an over-reaction by the bookies after yesterdays win over Robredo. He already had three tough matches in a row and his fitness is a big question mark coming into this game. Crowd in Auckland will once again be on his side, but i think he'll fail in front of them this time. Watched Montanes against Statham and Lammer where he played great tennis and although the are far below Isner's quality, i think that Spaniard posses the game to frustrate Isner and take this match at the end. Odds are certainly worth of trying.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Sport Tennis Event Philipp Kohlschreiber v Arnaud Clement Selection Philipp Kohlschreiber -1.5 sets Strength 10/10 Date 15/01/2010 Bookmaker/Price Boylesports @ 2.20 (Back) Reasoning Should be comfortable for Kohlschreiber. He's got an excellent in Auckland and has found his game this week. He's breaking his opponents for fun and should be the same against Clement. Clement has picked up some very good scalps this week, but I don't see his level as the same as Kohlschreiber and this should finish 2-0. Sport Tennis Event Serena Williams v Elena Dementieva Selection Elena Dementieva Strength 10/10 Date 15/01/2010 Bookmaker/Price Ladbrokes @ 2.25 (Back) Reasoning I like Dementieva in this match. H2H is close with Dementieva having quite a bit of success last year. This week Serena has had a couple of easy wins and a very tough match against Rezai. That's good enough prep for the Aussie and not sure how much she'll be interested in this. Dementieva beat her in the semi final of this tournament last year. Dementieva has looked very good this week and I'll take her to take the title. Sport Tennis Event Alona Bondarenko v Anabel Medina Garrigues Selection Anabel Medina Garrigues Strength 10/10 Date 15/01/2010 Bookmaker/Price Betfair @ 2.52 (Back) Reasoning Strange price I thought this would be close to evens. Medina Garrigues is higher ranked and the top seed for this tournament. I opposed her earlier in the tournament but she seems to be getting back towards top form. Alona Bondarenko has also played well this week but I just see this being close. Bondarenko leads H2H 2-1 but AMG won the last meeting last year on hardcourts where she started as 1.75 favourite.

smegmaniac Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January hi repunt!! basically what i do is i bet to win 200 if i really fancy a bet,to win 100 if i fancy it and to win 50 if i just think there's value in the price!! i have backe dmatches 2 win 500 but that only happens 3 or 4 times a year! so for example if a player is 8-11 and i fancy him or her ill put 137.50 to win 100,if i really really fancy it, i'll put 275 on it!if i think a player is good value at 5-2,ill put 20 on it!! also, i like your reasoning on montanes....i disagree with cramer, i think he's serving quite well, he's mentally tough, has good forehand and lovely dropshot as im sure u enjoyed yesterday (though i think isner has a very good temperment too) but one thing ive noticed is that montanes isnt a great returner and i think he'll really struggle with isners serve! but he's got a chance and will be up 4 it! decent value,but i still think isner will win! also i hope my tips 4 the aussie qualies will come in.....even if 6 or 7 come in ill be happy!!but an 8 or above again would be magic!good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bet_man Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Dementieva - S. Williams Dementieva is playing well at this tournoment . She beat Safina and Azerenka. On the other hand S.Williams did not play with top players at this tournoment. If this was a grand slam match , of course i will pick Serena to win the match. However , i don't think Serena is interested in tier 2 tournoments. I think , serena is thinking australian open at the moment. Dementieva has very low chance to win australian open. So this match is more important for Dementieva. Dementieva will have mental advantage over serena in this match.

Cramer Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Re: Tennis: 10th - 16th January Sport Tennis Event John Isner v Arnaud Clement Selection Arnaud Clement Strength 10/10 Date 16/01/2010 Bookmaker/Price Betfair @ 2.38 (Back) Reasoning Clement has been incredible this week, 4 excellent wins as an outsider without dropping a set. He's got a great game to take on Isner, with quality returns and passing shots. Plus when he is playing well his quality is very high. Isner has had a very good week, fighting hard. He showed Montanes up yesterday as the horrible hard court player that he is, but this will be very different. The way Clement is playing this week, it's hard to make Isner favourite.
