Now that the draws are out - is anyone aware of a market to pick the final in either the Mens or the Womens?

 

[mattys123]

Wow, Federer got the dream draw, with Nadal, Murray and Soderling (the only 3 players who can beat him) on the other half of the draw.

Might take a Murray-Fed final double again, if I can find a market.

As for the women's final, all Belgium affair for mine, Clijsters v Henin.

Now to find a market.

 

[The_Falcon]

rafa nadal to win @ 3 bucks i have been keen on this play for a while

 

[iluvparis]

Reckon the Belgian double for the final in the Women's is a great bet matty. Will let you know if I come across a market.

 

[Sasquatch]

Depending on the odds I would be all over Nalbandian beating Hewitt.

It's a shame Berankis has a crap draw. He will beat Matosevic but will lose to Nalbandian. I reckon he could beat Hewitt so a part of me wants Hewitt to beat Nalbandian.

 

[adii_7]

nalbandian 1.50 wow. Hewitt is shit..

feds got a harder draw then nadal..
no-one can hurt nadal til the semi's

feds could lose QF's, has simon to beat, etc.

nadal @ 2.75 is too short.

 

[Demon3]

Taking a Nadal/Clisters double @ 9.50

Reckon Hewitt can beat David, done well at kooyong so he might be a chance. If he gets near $3 it might be worth a shot.

He is looking good atm leading 1 set to 0 against davedenko @ kooyong

 

[Scottroo]

Li Na at 51/1 is massive overs, shes almost the inform player in world tennis atm

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Hewitt into $2.38 from $2.50 already. Was thinking of having a go at hime in 4 and 5 sets

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Li Na at 51/1 is massive overs, shes almost the inform player in world tennis atm

I thought the same thing, one of the best outside chances. Managed to put a little wager on her at 85-1 earlier in the week.

Worth a shot for sure.

 

[mattys123]

First 2 doubles placed;

Fed/Wozniacki @ 21.00

Fed/Henin @ 18.00

 

[Santoz]

Big Berdych @ $110 on Betfair has to be worth a thought.

Aus Open Mens Round 1 - Ryan Harrison v Adrian Mannarino

Pick: Ryan Harrison. Mannarino isn't bad but he had a big week last week, and Harrison had the week off to prepare. His ranking has come in alot over the past year and he's proven he can mix with the best at Grand Slam level, beating Ljubicic (world #17) in round 1 of the US Open. He may not get it but he will test the Frenchman.

VALUE at 2.30. LOSS

 

[JuddyBuddy]

First 2 doubles placed;

Fed/Wozniacki @ 21.00

Fed/Henin @ 18.00

Wozniacki has been in pretty poor form.

 

[mattys123]

Wozniacki has been in pretty poor form.

Yeah, but it's value, and with Clijsters struggling, I can see one of Henin or Woz making a deep run.

I think Federer is the bet of the year, so I'll probably double him up more as the tournament comes along anyway.

 

[DrParrot]

Figured i would go for a bit of a rough one... Murray/Wozniacki $10 @ $80

Dont usually bet on the tennis... so this will be my only bet for the open!

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Yeah, my money's on Fed in the mens.

 

[mattys123]

Yeah, my money's on Fed in the mens.

I got him at 4.00 pre xmas, although I would have preferred to have more on him, and now he's under 3.00, I don't want to back him at that price, so that's why I'm putting him in winners doubles now.

 

[iluvparis]

Always a highlight of the year the Oz Open. Here are my Day 1 plays:

4 units - Federer/Nadal final @ 2.62

3 units - Wickmayer d Groth @ 1.9
3 units - Rezai d Zahlavova Strycova @ 1.64
3 units - Vesnina d Razzano @ 1.64
2 units - Fish/Ljubicic/Tipsarevic @ 2.09

 

[The_Doctor]

What are peoples thoughts on the womens 2nd quarter?

Venus Williams 5.00
Victoria Azarenka 3.50
Na Li 4.00
Maria Sharapova 5.00
Kaia Kanepi 9.00
Any Other Player 11.00

Im thinking about backing both LI and WILLIAMS. Does anyone think Azarenka is a better bet than either of those? Im not really worried about anyone else

 

[iluvparis]

If the real Venus turns up I reckon she would win that quarter in a cakewalk. The $5 is almost good enough odds to have a crack at her doing it too.

Add:

1 unit - Womens 2nd Quarter - V.Williams @ 5

 

[KardiniaPark]

To win in straight sets :

@$17
Monfils
Hasse
Davydenko
Malisse

With Petkovic being in the any other player section, then that would be the way I'd be going. And perhaps a saver on Li.

Venus's form in Oz has been horrible lately, Azarenka is too flaky and who know what Sharapova will turn up. $5.00 is too skinny to find out anyway.

 

[Selective Retention]

So I had the juan monaco/benneteau game in a multi.

I fire up the live scores and apparently some german dude is playing instead of benneteau.

I then googled benneteau and the news article i got up was in french but seems he pulled out.

Will they just void that leg?
