Australian Open (Men)

[Borry]

Another seed bites the dust.
This time Moya.
A comeback from two sets down soured by a five set loss.

 

[eastaugh36]

My roughie bet for the day Bobby Reynolds has just taken the 3rd set against the seeded Berdych forcing it into a 4th set. Not bad for a $9 chance!

 

[Borry]

Acasuso is hanging in there against Blake hes up a break in the fourth set, making his way back into the game after losing the first two sets.

 

[Borry]

Another Aussie Easybeat is out Lauren beadmore getting beasten by Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Guccione out earlier, struggling to win the important points and going down in a tight straight sets to Ljubicic.

 

[Baxter Stockman]

Please Lammer beat Roddick!!!!!!!!1

Today's Bets (16/1)

I think there are 2 good bets today along with a roughie.

Baghdatis over Gimelstob at $1.35 - Baghdatis was a revelation last year and had a fairly big fan club watching his matches. The journeyman Gimelstob shouldn't give him too many troubles

Ferrer over Serra at $1.90 - Serra has had a big summer already and I think he might be feeling it so get on Ferrer who is a seeded player and is good value here

The roughie is Bobby Reynolds to beat Berdych at $8.00 - Reynolds made the 3rd round last year here and in their only meeting previously it was Berdych who won 7-6,7-6 on a hardcourt. All that hardly means the odds should be this far apart. Put a small amount on him.

Well, what a good start to the tournament, with the 2 good things getting up and Reynolds proving those $8 odds were too high by taking Berdych to 4 sets. Luckily I got on and made a tidy profit. I'll be back tomorrow morning with more of my best bets for a massive day of tennis.

 

[Borry]

Henman's back on the sidelines from tonight.
He lost in four.

 

[MCG-Unit]

As do I!!!

Will go a long way I think!

Fair enough about what some people have said about his performance under pressure situations and one dimensional game but I think if he can pull it together it works in his favor!!!

Couldn't agree more on Roddick..................

 

[Unwritten_Law]

Nalbandian can't finish anyone off, that's why they always go to five sets.

He relies on his opponent losing.

 

[HighRoller]

Thinking about getting on Tommy Haas to beat Gasquet today, as well as Davydenko to win also in a double, anyone else got any bets?

 

[eastaugh36]

Today's Bets (17/1)

2 good bets and 2 roughies today

Starace to beat Delic at $1.62 - Starace is a solid player and Delic has been playing in the challengers and futures tournaments.

C.Rochus to beat Vliegen at $2.60 - I think the more experienced player will handle the big event pressure. Both players will know a bit about each other as they are both Belgian.


Roughies -

Almagro against Andreev at $5 - Andreev nearly won Sydney but I'm looking at a letdown here for him.

Philippoussis to beat Grosjean at $3.10 - Philippoussis generally puts in some encouraging efforts early here especially at night. Home court advantage equals great value.

Good luck!

That little Argentinian twerp Coria is down 2 sets to 1 to Hanescu. Go Hanescu!

 

[Borry]

Haas is through.

Luczak through after winning in straight sets against last years Sydney finalist, Ivo Minar.

Healey the other Aussie through to the second round.

 

[Borry]

Hewitt's up.

 

[eastaugh36]

That little Argentinian twerp Coria is down 2 sets to 1 to Hanescu. Go Hanescu!

Coria came back to win in 5.

 

[HighRoller]

Davydenko the 5th seed is in big trouble and looks like being 2 sets to 1 down here!!

 

[~GURU~]

Geeze hewitt is playing shocking!

Vik's not bad himself. I remember last year when Nadal took it up to Hewitt, everyone knew he would be a star. I feel similar about Vik.

 

[Embers]

$10 or so. I really wonder whether the odds makers in Australia have a clue about tennis and how good each player is. There's no way this was ever going to be an easy match for Hewitt.

Clearly they dont, Spewing cos I was thinking bout puttin money on him but I havnt seen enough of the guy play to bet against a top 5 player. The site I use had odds of 9 bucks, I figured TAB wud be offering way more. they normally do for the Aus Open

It's a different situation to Nadal.

Vik is on the improve though it has taken him 5 years to break into the top 100. 5 years ago Nadal just started high school

 

[Arcadion]

Vik is choking...

What are your best bets for tomorrow eastaugh.......

I'll have them up tomorrow morning. Haven't done too well today although one match is still on and I've got Phillipoussis tonight. I'd still be ahead after a great day yesterday.
