Australian Open 2017

[The City Boyz]

John Isner on court 20 tomorrow - isn't that one of the ones with like 30 seats on it?

Isn't it standing room?

 

[vaughany]

Does anyone know what time they open the doors of Hisense Arena for ground pass holders?

More like a hundred, basically mini grand stands there.

Wrote this for a bunch of friends. might as well post it here as well. It is the best bets to take advantage of the WH chase the ace. not as good as last year but still should be profitable if you are smart.

First Day (Chase the Ace tips)

ATP
Actual Odds, Ace % per point

MUSTS
Murray (1.01) 9.9% Bonus bet interest. 99/100 he will win.

Sam Querrey ($1.33) 15% Sam has been shit since he beat Novak. But when he did, he hit 31 aces at 19%. But he is a risk worth taking this round.

John Isner ($1.11) 25%. Lowest number of aces in the last year for 5 set matches. 18. His PB of aces is 118. I don’t think 70-68 will happen again though.

Tomas Berdych ($1.04) 10% low chance he will lose. Vanni is a high acer as well, so perhaps long 3 sets.

Federer (1.08) 11%. Probably wont get 11% this match, but he is RF and he is a legend.

Lukas Lacko ($2.35) 9%. Plays a clay courter seed. Tennis abstract are saying he is a 85% chance to win. Not sure about that, but hope for a 5 set win with aces.

Wawrinka $1.03 (8%) stan is the man. 9/10, he will win and win easy.

Troicki $1.25 (10%) He should win. Playing a clay courter at heart.

Kyrgios ($1.08) (17%) only injury will prevent crazy nick from winning.

Tsonga ($1.02) (11%) Will win, will ace him in double figures.

Tomic ($1.40) 11%. Tomic is shit, hasn’t won for a while and is a fat bastard. But he always gets up for the Aussie Summer normally. 11% is a risk worth taking.

Bedene ($1.20) 10%. Plays a clay courter. Know nothing of him.

Cilic ($1.10) 13% . he has played once after losing the Davis Cup. Should be a big serving game, so hopefully lots of games.


Your Choice

M Zverev $1.30 (7.2%) (small return, small risk)

Pouille $1.17 (10%) (Poullie is coming off a career best year. Hence why I am a little scared)

Harrison - Mahut (both around 10% in a 55/45% chance match)

Almagro - Nicolas Chardy Jeremy Both 10% in a another 50/50 match. Almagro will get slightly more aces, Chardy the better chance for a win.

Nishikori $1.10 (4%) just not worth the risk of him being injured and losing. 4% is weak.

Steve Johnson $1.24 (10%) Delbonis won the davis cup last match. Not something I really want to risk against for those odds.

Duckworth $1.90 (12%) the Duck is 12% last year BUT plays against weaker opponents. 9% in best of 5 sets matches, so that is still alright. Plays a clay courter mostly.

Groth $2.20 (20%) only 15% in best of 5 matches though. Groth is too shit to take a gamble on.

Khachanov $1.73 (10%) if you want.

Sock ($1.25) 8%. Robert is a bigger serving, but he wont win.

WTA

Musts

Shit Pliskova v Golubic ($1.60) (12%) Yes a women can hit 12% of aces. They are rare, but it can happen. I don’t rate Golubic outdoors or returning.


--------Your Choice-----------
Shvedova $1.95 (5%) Don’t rate Begu outside of her nature habitat(clay)

Coco Vandeweghe (8%). I am passing, but she is a big server. I just don’t like the match up v Vinci.

McHale $1.40 (4%). Beat her opponent last week 1 and 2 with an ace ratio of 16%.

Muguruza $1.10 (6%) Mug is inconsistent but quality player

Barty. ($1.57) 4%. Beck is shit. Barty will win.

Mona Barthel ($1.30) (7%) don’t like betting against an aussie, but Mona has a funny game which might be too much for the young aussie. Still Mona is a head case and is on the do not bet list.

Kiki Bertens ($1.56) (6%). Kiki should win I feel.

Thanks for chucking that up. Had a quick look at the WH site....so in short- is it each bet (min $25) you have to "spin the wheel" to find out what you will receive in bonus bet (50c, $1, up to $10?) for each ace? And you get the bonus bets not matter if your player wins or loses :/ ?

[BobbyMorri]

Yep . 86% or something like that is that it will be .50c. only got one $2 (for Tomas) in my 15 wheels.

So you really gotta pick winners. Cant chuck $25 on Isner if he is going to lose like last year.

Rublev at 3.30 on WH against Lu seems like great value unless I'm missing something.

Don't know much about Rublev.
WH probably just playing it safe and making Lu the favourite due to his age and experience. He has never made it past a 3rd round though.

Hi,
not a follower of tennis during the year, or really even during AO. But always curious. Saw this on twitter and lold. Certainly right, only sport I know that uses the word bundled so well

 

[danstar]

It is funny how its the one time of year u hear that terminology, this is my favorite 2 weeks of the year, as soon as im out of work im either at the tennis or watching it on tv, going with a mate to watch federer tonight hes a mad fed fan so its going to be fun ive only seen him live once so it will be a good night wont be unhappy if fed gets knocked out early though

 

[danstar]

Im not going to be able to concentrate at work at least im out of here 1pm every day next 2 weeks so wont miss much

 

[danstar]

Lol flares let off at australian open enterance

 

[danstar]

17 yr old alex deminaur up 4-0 in the 5th set yess go aussies

 

[ChookMFC]

I really like Alext De Minaur. He seems like a nice, humble, hard-working kid. It's a very welcome change from the knobs we're usually forced to cheer for.

 

[danstar]

Alex de-minaur won 10 of the last 11 games after being 5-3 and match point down in the 4th, won the 4th set 7-5 and the 5th 6-1 in 3 hrs 42 mins

 

[peternorth]

SOCCA VIOLENCE!!

 

[damochandler]

Tomic looked good didn't get out of 2nd gear. Vinci cracked when she lost

 

[vaughany]

Rublev at 3.30 on WH against Lu seems like great value unless I'm missing something.

Good call. Rublev won in 4 today.

Dear Channel 7,

Nick Kyrgios is not a "bad boy".

He is a dickhead, and his behaviour should not be made light of.

Sincerely,
Tennis Fans Everywhere.

Touched shoulders with Andy Murray today

Today was a good day.

 

[ChookMFC]

It'll be good to have Lleyton Hewitt commentating for the entire tournament this year, instead of grandstanding as a player (with no real hope of making even the Second Week).

That's Sir Andy Murray to you. /channel7
