Lindsay Davenport 2 sets to 0 to beat Nadia Petrova |
1.35 |
 |
| |
 Bet 0.5 unit on 1.35 (Game Bookers)
These two have met six times with Davenport getting the money on all six occasions. In the last four sets they have played Petrova has managed only five games. Davenport has been on fire of late winning 20 of her last 21 matches including her last three tournaments two of which were indoors. We see her winning this one comfortably in two in front of her her home crowd. |
| Nov 01, 2005 |
Dmitry Tursunov to beat Mario Ancic |
2.50 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.50 (Bet365)
Tursunov has come through the qualies and defeated Spadea 6-2, 6-1 today in the first round. He lost in the semis of Moscow three weeks ago and won a challenger this month. We feel Tursunov winning three matches in Paris, all in straight sets, give him a good advantage over Ancic, who hasn't played yet. The way Tursunov has been playing, his price shouldn't be paying 2.50. Ancic lost first round in the last Masters Series event in Madrid and Tursunov won their last meeting. We see Dmitry advancing here. |
| Oct 27, 2005 |
Andy Murray to beat Tomas Berdych |
1.75 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.75 (Pinnacle Sports)
Murray has just come off a huge win over England's number one today, Henman, and has posted some great results lately on hard courts. Recent wins over Srichaphan, Ginepri, Soderling and now Henman show us that he is in much better form than Berdych in this encounter. Berdych's results have dropped off since his US Open third round and has a history of doing poorly at the end of the year. Berdych had to go three sets to get past Bastl today and we see Murray's counter punching abilities to match up well here. We see Murray advancing in this one. |
| Oct 24, 2005 |
Jose Acasuso to beat Nicholas Massu |
1.83 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.83 (Stan James)
We think this is a clear mismatch. Massu has struggled through the indoor season. Massu has had the better of the meetings in the past but Acasuso has come on leaps and bounds on faster surfaces of late playing great in the US summer circuit and almost knocking off Stepenak last week. We see Acasuso advancing in this one. |
| Oct 21, 2005 |
Robby Ginepri to beat David Ferrer |
1.55 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.55 (Pinnacle Sports)
Ginepri is continuing his hot streak from the summer stretch with wins over Grosjean, and Davydenko this week. Ginepri is 2-0 against Ferrer lifetime and has won all five sets against him. Ginepri beat him a few months back in Cincinnati when Ferrer had just beaten the always-dangerous Moodie 6-2, 6-1. The indoor courts favour Ginepri's serve and forehand in this encounter. We see Ginepri advancing to the semis here. |
| Oct 17, 2005 |
Agustin Calleri to beat Albert Costa |
1.45 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.45 (Pinnacle Sports)
Calleri is a hard hitting player, who has a big forehand and serve, and is more comfortable and effective on hard courts than Costa. Costa has lost three hard court first round matches in a row and his last showing at the US Open against Hewitt, where he salvaged only four games over three sets, was a disaster to put it midly. Costa received a wild card into this event and Calleri won two rounds to come through the qualies, where he beat Garcia-Lopez in the last round 6-2, 6-2. We see Calleri being too much for Costa here. |
| Oct 14, 2005 |
Paradorn Srichaphan to beat Thomas Johansson |
3.00 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 3.00 (William Hill)
Srichaphan is 2-0 against Johansson lifetime and has beaten both Verdasco and Waske in straight sets this week. Srichaphan has been playing well as of late and is a great confidence player. Johansson struggled to two tiebreakers in the first round against a Swedish wild card. We like Srichaphan to give it his all against Johansson and keep his undefeated streak against him alive. |
| Oct 13, 2005 |
Jonas Bjorkman to beat Mario Ancic |
2.70 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.70 (Pinnacle Sports)
Bjorkman is coming off a title win in Vietnam two weeks ago and is on a six match winning streak, having routinely beat Moodie 6-4, 6-2 in the first round of Stockholm. And Moodie is coming off his first title of the year in Japan. Ancic can be flaky mentally at times and will be given a run for his money having to deal with Bjorkman's great return of serve. We like Bjorkman to use the fact that he is playing in his home country to his advantage and take this one. |
| Oct 12, 2005 |
Jurgen Melzer to beat Gaston Gaudio |
1.87 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.87 (Expekt)
We see Melzer exploiting Gaudio's suspect indoor record and rust, as Gaudio hasn't played since losing to Brian Baker in straight sets at the US Open. Melzer plays well in Austria, as he had a good Davis Cup a few weeks back and he got to the finals of St. Poelten earlier this year in Austria. We like Melzer coming through here. |
| Oct 10, 2005 |
Paradorn Srichaphan to beat Fernando Verdasco |
2.10 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.10 (Pinnacle Sports)
Scrichaphan is a good fast court player and he holds a 1-0 record against Verdasco. Scrichaphan has come on as of late, reaching the semis in Bangkok, and getting to the third round of the US Open. Verdasco has a tendency to fall off in the latter part of the Tour schedule and we like Scrichaphan to have too much tenacity in this one. |
| |
Razvan Sabau to beat Filippo Volandri |
2.37 |
 |
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.37 (BetAndWin)
Volandri is 0-9 this year when playing on any other surface except for clay. So these fast indoor carpet courts aren't exactly ideal for the Italian's game and confidence. Sabau has had some nice wins on faster surfaces, having defeated Moodie and Kevin Kim in recent years, and is a very capable shot maker who's style suit these courts. We see Sabau winning this one. |
| Oct 05, 2005 |
Luis Horna to beat Roko Karanusic |
1.45 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.45 (Pinnacle Sports)
We see a class difference in this encounter with Horna being a very solid hard court player and Karanusic coming off winning his first tour match of his career. Before that, he was 0-10 in tour matches for his career. In the past two months, Horna got to the quarters of Washington and the round of sixteen in Cincinnati on hard courts. We see Horna coming through here. |
| Oct 04, 2005 |
Gael Monfils to beat Juan Ignacio Chela |
1.62 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.62 (BlueSquare)
We love the talented French Man to win this one. Chela struggled through the indoor circuit last year and we can't see this year being any differernt. Monfils playing in his home county wins this one. |
| |
Robin Vik to beat Kevin Kim |
1.88 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.88 (Pinnacle Sports)
Robin Vik is a great fast court player, which is what the courts in Tokyo are played on. Vik has won six challengers this year on either carpet or hard court. He beat Kim in Rolland Garros this year in straight sets and we see this as being very favourable as Vik is playing on his best surface. Kim has lost his last five first round matches in Tour events and we see him continuing this bad run here. |
| Oct 03, 2005 |
Peter Wessels to beat Jan Micheal Gambill |
1.57 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.57 (Bet365)
Jan Michael put simply isnt the player the used to be. He has struggled at the challenger level of late. Wessels despite an early loss last week has been quite impressive of late. He played a great match against Nalbandian in New York and we think he will be too good today |
| Sep 27, 2005 |
Andy Murray to beat George Bastl |
1.44 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.44 (Stan James)
Andy Murray defeated George Bastl in the first round of Wimbledon in straight sets and we like him to take him down again. We see a class difference here with Murray on his way up the rankings and Bastl just managing to keep his ranking up to get into the tour events. We like Murray in this one. |
| Sep 26, 2005 |
Yeu-Tzuoo Wang to beat Kevin Kim |
1.83 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.83 (Stan James)
Wang has been hot as of late, losing in the finals of two challengers and winning another, all of which were on hard court. He beat solid players in the challengers as well, including Santoro, Elseneer, and Sluiter. Kim, on the other hand, has lost his last four first rounds in a row and hasn't been playing well. We see Wang continuing his hot streak and advancing. |
| Sep 23, 2005 |
Slovak Republic Davis Cup Team to beat Argentina Davis Cup Team |
3.00 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 3.00 (Betfair)
The Slovaks are a very dangerous team indoors, with the fast surface being Karol Beck's best, and Hrbaty has carved up Verdasco, Wessels, and Sluiter in Davis Cup on his home soil this year. Argentina has Nalbandian and Coria but they will be in tough against the raucous Slovak crowd and the quick indoor courts. Beck beat Nalbandian this year in Montreal and we see the Slovaks have a great shot at the doubles point. We see the Slovaks pulling the upset here at home. |
| |
Stanislas Wawrinka to beat Andy Murray |
1.83 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.83 (William Hill)
Wawrinka is a great clay court player, having got to the third round of the French Open, losing to the eventual finalist Puerta, and the finals in Gstaad. The former Junior French Open Champion has much more experience in Davis Cup than Murray having played against the Dutch earlier this year. Murray, even though he has come on as of late, has lost in a quarter and semi-final of futures on clay this year and we see Wawrinka taking this one with his home crowd cheering him on. The pressure will also be off of Wawrinka with Federer playing the other singles, which he will almost surely lock up 2 wins with his singles play and will have a chance to take the tie on his own with the doubles match. |
| Sep 12, 2005 |
Stefan Koubek to beat Ivo Heuberger |
1.45 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.45 (Pinnacle Sports)
Koubek has finally turned his game around and getting back his old form. He has shown up early for this event and has thus had a few days to get used to the courts. Heuberger has only won one hard court main draw match since this January. We like Koubek to take this one. |
| Sep 06, 2005 |
Andre Agassi to beat James Blake |
2.00 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 2.00 (Pinnacle Sports)
Andre is 3-1 lifetime against Blake winning the last two meetings. The draw has really opened up for the ageless veteran and we can't see him not taking advantage. Andre is having a great summer winning LA and making finals in Montreal and we see him advancing in this one. |
| Sep 02, 2005 |
Nikolay Davydenko\David Ferrer Parlay to beat Paradorn Srichaphan\Karol Kucera |
1.85 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.85 (William Hill)
Davydenko has been playing great and is a big time player in the Grand Slams, having got to the quarters of the Australian Open and the semis of the French. Srichaphan really struggles against the top players and we see no changing of that in this one. Ferrer has been an impact player on all surfaces this year and without the wind being such a factor tomorrow as it was when he worn down Calleri in the first round, we see Ferrer taking out Kucera, who has not played many matches this year. We don't see Kucera having the form to defeat the relentless Spaniard in this one. |
| Aug 31, 2005 |
David Ferrer to beat Agustin Calleri |
1.33 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.33 (Pinnacle Sports)
Ferrer is 1-0 against Calleri lifetime, handily dispatching the Argentine in straight sets this year. Ferrer is coming off a semi-final appearance in the Pilot Pen Open and has looked sharp on the hard courts. Calleri, meanwhile, has not played a hard court match since March and will be playing his first match in over a month. We like Ferrer to advance in this one. |
| |
David Ferrer\Jonas Bjorkman Parlay to beat Agustin Calleri\Tomas Behrend |
1.70 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.70 (William Hill)
Bjorkman just came through the qualies to get into the first round here so he his used to the courts at the Open. Behrend has only won one match in the past two and half months and hasn't played a match in over a month. Behrend likes the clay and thus hasn't played on hard courts since March. We like Bjorkman to dispatch Behrend here. Ferrer we also see to be too solid for Calleri, who also is lacking in hard court matches and is a lesser player in caliber than Ferrer. |
| Aug 29, 2005 |
Ivo Karlovic to beat Mardy Fish |
1.60 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.60 (Pinnacle Sports)
Karlovic lost in a close three set match to Roddick in the quarters of Washington three weeks ago and beat Fish in Australia last year. Fish is less than 100%, as he is battling wrist problems right now. Fish's ranking has also just dropped to 140 in the world after his Olympic finals points have just come off the computer rankings. We like Karlovic to come through against the struggling American in this encounter. |
| |
Juan Ignacio Chela to beat Robin Soderling |
1.57 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.57 (Ladbrokes)
Chela is coming into this match having reached the semis of the LA Open and having played well on hard courts. Soderling hasn't been lighting it up on the hard courts and lost to Chela this year. The key here is that Soderling is having problems with his movement and may have trouble finishing this match. Attempt to get this match on a site where one point or one set only need to be played. We like Chela to advance here. |
| Aug 22, 2005 |
Stanislas Wawrinka to beat Cyril Saulnier |
1.71 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.71 (BetAndWin)
Wawrinka is an outstanding young talent, having reached the finals of Gstaad and losing to Rusedski, who ended up getting to the semi's in Montreal, in three sets in his last two tournaments. Saulnier has lost 11 first round matches in a row and is out of form. We see Wawrinka showing Saulnier another first round exit here. |
| Aug 18, 2005 |
Dominak Hrbaty to beat Marat Safin |
2.18 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 2.18 (Pinnacle Sports)
After watching Safin play yesterday, we feel that he isn't back to nearly his best. He is playing his first event since Wimbledon and although he had enough to beat Murray yesterday, we feel he is well below his best. Hrbaty is sizzling hot right now after beating two great players in Johansson and Soderling. He has beaten Safin before and we think he'll do it again. |
| Aug 17, 2005 |
Richard Gasquet to beat Mario Ancic |
1.62 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.62 (Bet365)
We've told you guys how we feel about the young Frenchman Gasquet and we look for him to get on a roll this week. We have him rated in our top ten and feel Mario Ancic is a little over valued right now. Gasquet came through nicely against Lopez on Monday so we dont see the big serve of Ancic worrying him. |
| |
David Nalbandian/Andy Roddick Parlay to beat Fernando Gonzalez/Juan Carlos Ferrero |
1.96 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.96 (BlueSquare)
Nalbandian is 5-1 against Gonzalez and although he had an early loss to Beck last week had really hit some form. After making the quarter finals at Wimbledon he won three rubbers against the Australian Davis Cup team. We look for him to beat Gonzalez who struggled through his first round match and went down first round last week. Taking short odds on Roddick but we feel there is value there. He has an incredable record in the US and we cant see him losing to the spaniard on the slick courts in Cincinatti. |
| |
Andy Murray to beat Marat Safin |
3.25 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 3.25 (Ladbrokes)
A late addition here but we like the young Scot to upset Safin in this one. Word is Safin is still not 100% after coming back from injury so try and take this on a site like ladbrokes or somewhere where only a set needs to be played. In any case Murray is playing some great tennis right now walking though a challenger last week and wont be intimidated by the giant Russian. |
| Aug 16, 2005 |
Weslie Moodie to beat David Ferrer |
2.15 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 2.15 (Game Bookers)
Moodie continues to impress us marching through qualies and we think the fast courts should suit him. Ferrer while a very capable player will have his hands full with Moodie's aggressive serve and volleying. |
| |
Sesil Karatancheva to beat Jill Craybas |
1.44 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.44 (Game Bookers)
We like the very talanted Bulgarian in this one. She had a coming out party this year at Roland Garros making the quarter finals. She is 18-8 on the year and we look for her to make that 19-8 tomorrow. |
| Aug 15, 2005 |
Tim Henman to beat Nicolas Massu |
1.44 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.44 (Pinnacle Sports)
Henman hasn't won a lot of matches lately but is 4-1 lifetime against Massu, having won the last four meetings. Henman has been playing his opponents closely in America, losing to Hrbaty after being up a set and a break, and losing in two close sets to Moodie, who has been red hot. Massu has been straight setted in his two first round losses in the States this summer. We like Henman to get his first win under his belt in the US Open Series in this one. |
| |
Olivier Rochus\Luis Horna Parlay to beat Filippo Volandri\Chrisophe Rochus |
1.75 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.75 (William Hill)
Rochus is a great hard court player playing against an Italian who hasn't won a hard court match this year, going 0-5. Rochus got to the third round last week and is just a much better player on faster courts than Volandri. Horna has been playing well on the US hard courts this summer and we see him dispatching of the struggling Christophe. |
| |
Luis Horna to beat Christophe Rochus |
1.40 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.40 (William Hill)
Horna has just beaten Arthurs and Clement in qualies and got to the quarters in Washington DC. He lost to a surprisingly hot Puerta last week but in two tiebreaks. Rochus hasn't been putting too many matches together lately, losing in the the first round five out of the last six weeks. We like Horna to come through in this one. |
| Aug 10, 2005 |
Thomas Johansson to beat Xavier Malisse |
1.54 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.54 (Pinnacle Sports)
Thomas Johansson has been red hot lately, reaching the semis of both Queen's and Wimbledon and disposing of Karlovic today in straight sets. The courts are playing very fast this week, which very much suits the Swede. Malisse, on the other hand, has only advanced past the second round of a tournament this year three times and is 0-3 against Johansson, which included a loss to him on clay this year. And clay isn't Johansson's favourite surface. We like the former Canadian Open Champion to advance in this one. |
| Aug 08, 2005 |
Luis Horna to beat Mariano Puerta |
1.39 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.39 (Game Bookers)
Horna is coming off some good wins last week beating Hrbaty and then Ginepri in Washington. Puerta on the other hand has been very quiet since making the finals in Paris and has hardly stepped foot on a hard court in the last three years. Horna has a 2-0 record against Puerta and we look for him to make that 3-0 tomorrow. |
| |
Luis Horna/Richard Gasquet Parlay to beat Mariano Puerta/Mikhail Youzhny |
2.18 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.18 (Game Bookers)
Gasquet has fired on all surfaces in the last twelve months compiling a 24-7 record this year. We rate him as one of the top ten players in the world and look for him to prove that tomorrow. Horna has a 2-0 record against Puerta and we look for him to beat the inexperienced hard court player. |
| Aug 01, 2005 |
James Blake/Wesley Moodie Parlay to beat Jean-Rene Lisnard/Robert Smeets |
1.56 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.56 (Game Bookers)
Lisnard continues to struggle through the summer and we don't see any reason for this trend to stop against Blake. He lost in qualies last week in LA then went down 6-0 6-1 to Agassi as a lucky loser in the main draw. Moodie's singles game has really come along since winning the doubles title in Wimbledon. He is in a different class than the Australian Qualifier Smeets. |
| Jul 26, 2005 |
Dominik Hrbaty to beat Karol Beck |
1.66 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.66 (Ladbrokes)
Karol Beck is coming into this match drained from his semi-final appearance in the RCA Championships and is a bit banged up. He lost today in his doubles match in LA 6-3 6-0 and was double faulting a lot on his service games and appeared to be nursing an arm injury. Hrbaty is a very solid competitor on hard courts, with quarter-final appearances at the Australian Open and in Miami, and we see him disposing of his countryman in this encounter. This one may not go the distance so make sure to put this one on a site that wins after a point or a set. |
| Jul 25, 2005 |
Novak Djokovic\Sebastien Grosjean to beat Alex Calatrava\Ricardo Mello |
1.62 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.62 (Interwetten)
Djokovic has been coming on as of late, winning a challenger in San Remo, tuning up Ginepri in the first round of the French Open before falling to Coria and reaching the third round of Wimbledon. Calatrava is 3-10 in ATP clay matches this year and has not put two wins together all year. We see Djokovic taking this one. Mello, who likes to play on clay, is 4-5 on hard courts this year and we don't see him being solid enough to trouble Grosjean, who has really come into form in the last few months, reaching the round of 16 at the French and the quarters at Wimbledon. We see Grosjean advancing in this one. |
| Jul 19, 2005 |
Jonas Bjorkman to beat Lukas Dlouhy |
1.82 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.82 (Pinnacle Sports)
Dlouhy is only 2-4 on hard courts this year and is predominantly a clay court player. He lost last week in the second round of the challenger in Aptos to Reynolds in straight sets and won't be too confident going into the RCA Championships. Bjorkman reached the third round of Wimbledon recently and is solely concentrating on his singles game this week, having not entered the doubles event. Overall, Bjorkman is a better hard court player than Dlouhy and we like him to show us just that in this one. |
| Jul 18, 2005 |
Wesley Moodie to beat Jean-Rene Lisnard |
1.44 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.44 (Pinnacle Sports)
Moodie is coming off a big week last week in Newport, where he reached the semi-finals and defeated Taylor Dent along the way. Lisnard has only won one match, a default victory over Hernandez, since early April, and is really struggling with his game. We see Moodie's serve and volley game along with his renewed confidence being too much here. |
| |
Andreas Seppi to beat Florian Mayer |
1.67 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.67 (Pinnacle Sports)
Mayer is 4-9 on clay this year and is up against Seppi, who is proving to be a very good clay courter at the ATP level. His quarterfinal appearance a week ago in Gstaad, where he took out Ljubicic and lost tiebreak in the third set to Gaudio, and his quarterfinal appearance in Hamburg, show Seppi's clay prowess. We see Seppi continuing his fine play on clay and overwhelming the German in this encounter. |
| Jul 15, 2005 |
Australian Davis Cup Squad to beat Argentinean Davis Cup Squad |
1.40 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.40 (Bet365)
We see the Australians coming through at home in Sydney over the Argentines. The grass courts give the edge to the Australians and Hewitt is 1-0 and 3-0 lifetime against Coria and Nalbandian respectively. Arthurs is on his favourite surface and will cause problems for both Coria and Nalbandian with his monster serve. The big edge for Australia here is that Mariano Puerta, who is far from being a doubles specialist, has been selected to play doubles with Nalbandian. We feel Hewitt\Arthurs will roll through this tandem. We see Australia advancing to the final four of the World Group here. |
| Jul 05, 2005 |
Jiri Vanek to beat Joachim Johansson |
2.20 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 2.20 (BlueSquare)
Vanek has had some solid clay court results this year, losing in the finals of a challenger in Prague recently, and posting clay court wins over Saretta and Seppi. Johansson is 2-11 on clay in the last year and a half and is most likely only playing this clay tournament because it's in his home country, otherwise he would already be done with clay for the year. We see Vanek being too solid on clay for Pim Pim here and see Johansson duplicating his first round exit in Baastad from a year ago. |
| |
Wesley Moodie to beat Yeu-Tzuoo Wang |
1.73 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.73 (Bet365)
Weslie Moodie is coming off a big Wimbledon, where he won the doubles in defeating five seeded pairs to capture the title with Huss. He also held a match point in the last round of qualifying to take out Novak Djokovic, who got to the third round of the main. Wang is only 2-6 on Tour this year and we see Moodie's grass court game and confidence being too much for Wang here. |
| Jul 04, 2005 |
Andreas Seppi to beat Stefan Koubek |
1.44 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.44 (Bet365)
It's back on the dirt for a lot of players and Seppi is one that is happy about that. He was a quarter-finalist in Hamburg and has numerous big wins in the last few months on clay. Koubek is 1-5 on the year in Tour matches and is not playing very sharp right now. We like Seppi to handle him here on the dirt. |
| Jun 22, 2005 |
Yen-Hsun Lu to beat Janko Tipsarevic |
1.91 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.91 (Stan James)
Lu has played four quality grass court matches this week having a great win over Clement a very established grass courter in the first round. In contrast Tipsarevic has gone down first round in Queens and Notthingham and was the fortunate recipient of a first round retirement at Wimbledon. The talented Lu has finally got his game together and walked through a challenger recently. We look for him to advance in this one. |
| Jun 21, 2005 |
Nikolay Davydenko\Guillermo Coria Parlay to beat Scott Draper\Tomas Behrend |
1.80 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.80 (Game Bookers)
Coria is a great counter puncher and we see him disposing of the German here, who really struggles on the grass courts. Coria can handle himself on the grass, as shown by his finals apprearance at last year's 's-Hertogenbosch tournament in Holland. We see Davydenko being too much for the out of form Draper in this one. |
| |
Guillermo Coria\Novak Djokovic Parlay to beat Tomas Behrend\Juan Monaco |
1.51 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.51 (Game Bookers)
We see Coria coming through against the German here, with Coria being plain and simple a better player on grass than Behrend. The German does not like to play on the grass. Djokovic came through the quallies and is really an up and comer. He defeated Wesley Moodie, a good grass court player, and we see him being too good against an Argentian that is out of sorts on this surface. |
| Jun 20, 2005 |
Nikolay Davydenko to beat Scott Draper |
1.55 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.55 (Pinnacle Sports)
Scott Draper is currently on his farewell tour and will be retiring when his protected ranking comes to an end soon. Davydenko will be eager to improve on his current 3rd position in the ATP 2005 Race here at Wimbledon. Draper has hardly played this year and is looking forward to getting on with his next phase in life. We see Davydenko taking advantage of this and advancing in this one. |
| Jun 13, 2005 |
Jan Vacek to beat Ricardo Mello |
1.53 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.53 (Pinnacle Sports)
Vacek has steamrolled his way through the quallies, beating Tursonov in the last round of quallies in straight sets. Mello has only won two matches since the middle of February and we don't see him coming through against the big Czech on the fast grass courts here. |
| |
Tomas Berdych to beat Santiago Ventura |
1.25 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.25 (William Hill)
Ventura played his first professional grass match at the ATP level at Queen's last week, winning only three games against the talented Englishman, Murray. We don't see him fairing any better against Berdych, who is a very solid fast court player. Berdych had multiple chances to win last week against Mirnyi and we see him coming through here. |
| Jun 08, 2005 |
Mark Philippoussis to beat Andy Roddick *FREE PICK* |
3.95 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 3.95 (Pinnacle Sports)
Philipoussis is back in action and is playing very well. He blistered through Sluiter, who is a good grass courter, fairly routinely. He has been practicing very hard on grass in the US in preparation fro the grass court season. He even skipped the French Open to concentrate on his grass game. Roddick has won this event the last two years but can't be looking forward to meeting a serve as big as his own. We like the Scud to upset Roddick in this one. |
| |
Taylor Dent\Richard Gasquet Parlay to beat Andrew Murray\Jamie Delgado |
1.53 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.53 (Ladbrokes)
We like Dent and Gasquet to get by the two lowly ranked Englishman here. Dent is on a surface that he plays great on and he dismantled Behrend today. Gasquet looked great as well and we see him being too much for Delgado in this one. |
| |
Thomas Johansson to beat Gilles Muller |
1.41 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.41 (Betfair)
Johansson likes the grass courts, as he's won Halle and Nottingham before. He's coming off a modest clay season for him, where he isn't usually that comfortable, which is a great indicator to us that he'll be in good form for the grass and hard court tournaments coming up. Muller, who is a big server, is only 7-12 on the year. We see Johansson coming through in this encounter. |
| Jun 07, 2005 |
Jonas Bjorkman\Taylor Dent to beat Dmitry Tursunov\Tomas Behrend |
1.87 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.87 (Stan James)
Bjorkman, who reached the quarters of Wimbledon two years ago, is very confident on the grass and is just coming off winning the doubles crown at the French Open. Tursunov has been struggling physically lately and hasn't been playing many matches. We like Bjorkman to come through here. Dent's big serve and volley game will also be too much for the clay courter Behrend to handle. |
| |
Taylor Dent to beat Tomas Behrend |
1.18 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.18 (Game Bookers)
We like Taylor Dent to start off his grass court season with a bang here. Behrend's game is suited for the clay courts and he will struggle mightily with Dent's serve and chip and charge game style. We look for Dent to win convincingly here. |
| May 29, 2005 |
Kim Clijsters to beat Lindsay Davenport |
1.25 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.25 (William Hill)
Kim Clijsters has been on a tear since she has returned from her wrist injury. The key here is she has won her last six meetings against Lindsay and Davenport has been lucky just to be in the 4th round. Davenport's French Open preparation did not include playing any European clay tournaments and it is showing. We see Clijsters coming through here. |
| May 27, 2005 |
Juan Carlos Ferrero to beat Marat Safin |
1.60 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.60 (Game Bookers)
The King has beaten Safin twice already this year on clay and doesnt play better tennis anywhere in the world than on Centre at Roland Garros. Safin has struggled though his early rounds and was lucky to get by the qualifier Dlouhy yesterday. With the exception of a win down under he has been pretty disappointing this year. |
| May 26, 2005 |
Tommy Haas to beat Vince Spadea |
1.25 |
|
| |
Bet 3 units on 1.25 (Ladbrokes)
Tommy Haas is just coming off a very impressive win over Gaudio in leading Germany to the ARAG World Team Cup and took apart Mayer in the first round. Spadea had a good win in the first round over Costa but isn't that comfortable on the dirt. The big factor here is that Spadea is having problems serving at 100%, as he's struggling with a shoulder injury. You will want to make sure that the site that you take this with pays out after one point played (Ladbrokes) or after at least one set is played. (Betfair) |
| |
Filippo Volandri\Tommy Haas to beat Flavio Saretta\Vince Spadea |
1.45 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.45 (Ladbrokes)
Volandri is playing great tennis, smoking Saulnier in the first round. Saretta got into the French as a lucky loser and got the fortunate draw of playing Rusedski. With Spadea struggling physically here, we see Tommy being too good here, as well. |
| May 25, 2005 |
Mario Ancic\Sebastien Grosjean\Tim Henman Parlay to beat Oscar Hernandez\Davide Sanguinetti\Luis Horna |
1.77 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.77 (Game Bookers)
We see all three of these quality players coming through against their respective opponents. Ancic and Henman are very solid on the dirt and Grosjean is a former French Open semi-finalist. Hernandez and Sanguinetti have had sub par results on clay and although Horna is a good clay courter, he will find it hard to deal with Henman's variety and chip and charge tactics. We see all through coming through here. |
| May 24, 2005 |
Jean-Rene Lisnard to beat Dick Norman |
1.92 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.92 (Pinnacle Sports)
Lisnard hasn't been having a great year by any means but grew up on the dirt in France and is a tough competitor. He did beat Thomas Johansson in Monte Carlo this year. The journeyman Dick Norman lost in the last round of quallies to Chris Guccione of Australia handily and didn't look very impressive. We see Lisnard taking this one on his home soil. |
| |
David Sanchez to beat Gustavo Kuerten |
2.24 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.24 (Pinnacle Sports)
David Sanchez makes his living on the dirt and is a very solid ground stroker. The key here is that Kuerten has been quoted as stating that he is happy to be leaving the courts these days feeling healthy, win or lose. His results since returning from hip surgery haven't shown signs that Guga of old is back and we like Sanchez to dispatch of him here. |
| |
Fabrice Santoro to beat Jan Hernych |
1.63 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.63 (Pinnacle Sports)
Santoro is the consummate professional and tactician and we see him coming through here. Santoro disposed of Nalbandian in Rome and he loves playing in France, as do most of the Frenchmen. The big Czech has had some noteworthy results this year but we don't see him being able to overcome Santoro here. |
| May 23, 2005 |
Luis Horna to beat Jerome Haehnel |
1.42 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.42 (Pinnacle Sports)
Horna is a good clay courter who is finally rounding into form. Jerome Haehnel is just 1-4 on the season and hasn't put much together on clay at the Tour level except beating Agassi here in the first round last year. Horna likes the slow bouncing courts at Roland Garros, which showed when he dispatched of Federer here two years ago. We like Horna to take care of business here. |
| |
Xavier Malisse to beat Mardy Fish |
1.16 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.16 (Ladbrokes)
Clay is not Fish's favourite surface, as is evident by the fact that this will be his second clay match of the year, and first on European soil. Fish has only played the French once before and bowed out in the first round. Malisse, on the other hand, reached the fourth round here last year, and is just flat out a better clay court player. We see the talented Belgian coming through in this one. |
| |
Fernando Verdasco\Xavier Malisse Parlay to beat Robin Soderling\Mardy Fish |
1.45 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.45 (Ladbrokes)
Verdasco was a quarter finalist in Rome this year and is a great clay court player. Soderling is 1-3 on clay this year and isn't very comfortable on the dirt. In a best of five set match, the better clay courter, Verdasco, will come through here. Malisse, similar to Verdasco, is also a better clay courter than his opponent and will dispose of the streaky Fish. |
| |
Robin Vik to beat Kevin Kim |
1.53 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.53 (Pinnacle Sports)
Robin Vik came through the quallies here and pummeled Andrea Stoppini of Italy in his last round. Kim is one of the many Americans that have been avoiding the European clay circuit this year and has been struggling as of late, as well. We like Vik to continue his run here and advance. |
| May 17, 2005 |
Tomas Zib to beat Michael Kohlman |
1.40 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.40 (Game Bookers)
Although Zib has not played great tennis the last couple of weeks he is half way through a break through year and has done a terrific job of beating the guys that he should beat. We don't see him having any trouble with the German doubles player. |
| May 16, 2005 |
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez/Potito Starace Parlay to beat Jean Rene Lisnard/Phillip Kohlschreiber |
1.80 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.80 (Bet365)
Going against two players that have really been struggling. Kohlschreiber continues to rack up the losses with his last win coming in Delray Beach. Garcia Lopez is a real talent and should be too good for the inconsistant frenchman. |
| May 13, 2005 |
Roger Federer to beat Guillermo Coria |
1.50 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.50 (Pinnacle Sports)
Looks like a tough match on the outside but we think the two time Hamburg champion has too much for little Guillermo. Federer has gone 35-2 this year losing twice with match point. The slow clay in Hamburg suits his game as he can generate more than Coria. He took care of the little Argentine last year comfortably in the final and is playing better tennis right now and we dont think Coria despite a couple of finals is back to his best. |
| May 09, 2005 |
Sebastien Grosjean\Nicolas Kiefer Parlay to beat Joachim Johansson\Philipp Kohlschreiber |
1.75 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.75 (Game Bookers)
Grosjean has turned around his season lately, getting to the finals of Houston, and advancing to the second round of Rome, losing in a tough three setter to Ljubicic. Kiefer has had a solid year, defeating Haas and Schuettler in his last two events. The key with this parlay is that Johansson and Kohlschreiber do not produce their best results on clay. Kohlschreiber is 4-9 on the year and since his fourth round showing at the Aussie Open, has only won one other match. He is a wild card entrant in this event. Johansson really struggles on the clay and lost to Seppi 6-1 6-2 last week in Rome. |
| |
Roger Federer\Radek Stepanek Parlay to beat Fernando Verdasco\Cyril Saulnier |
1.48 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.48 (Game Bookers)
Federer is coming back from a week away, after skipping Rome. We like Federer here as he will playing on Center Court which is played under a dome, and will speed up the game for him. Verdasco had a good showing in Rome, losing in the quarters, but with Federer being the defending champion as well, we don't see him going down here. Stepanek has really had a great clay run, losing in three to Nadal in the quarters in Rome. His opponent, Saulnier, really struggles on clay and has only won once this year on dirt, with his lone win coming against Srichaphan, someone who isn't exactly a clay specialist. We see Radek advancing in this one. |
| May 04, 2005 |
Richard Gasquet to beat Andre Agassi |
1.69 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.69 (Pinnacle Sports)
Richard Gasquet is one of the hottest clay courters right now. He had a phenomenal performance at Monte Carlo, taking out Federer, and pushing Nadal to the brink of elimination in the semi-finals. He has come through the quallies with solid wins over Sanchez and Hernandez, and beat Srichaphan 6-2 6-0 in the first round of the main draw. Agassi, on the other hand, has looked out of place on the clay this year, losing to a struggling Grosjean in Houston, after just scrapping by Calatrava the round before. Ag also didn't look too sharp in his first round match against Alessio di Mauro. Gasquet believes he can win this one and we see him doing just that. |
| May 03, 2005 |
Olivier Rochus to beat Ivan Ljubicic |
2.48 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.48 (Pinnacle Sports)
Rochus is coming into this match having beaten Ljubicic in Monte Carlo three weeks ago quite handily. Ljubicic hasn't played since this loss and clay is not his favorite surface to battle on. Ljubicic's serve slows down nicely for Rochus on the clay and then it boils down to a game of baseline rallies between the two. We like the feisty Belgian to grind this one out for us. |
| May 02, 2005 |
Sebastien Grosjean\Richard Gasquet\David Ferrer Parlay to beat Kenneth Carlsen\Paradorn Srichaphan\Cyril Saulnier |
1.61 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.61 (Game Bookers)
This is a classic example of three players that love the dirt and are playing well compared with three players that would rather be walking onto a faster surface and aren't playing so sharp. Grosjean, a former French Open semi-finalist, has finally come out of his funk this year with a finals appearance in Houston last week. Richard Gasquet had his coming out party in Monte Carlo, reaching the semi-finals there and is playing superb clay tennis. Ferrer has been on a tear on both hard courts and clay and is simply playing fantastic tennis. We see these three dirt ballers advancing through to the next round. |
| |
Feliciano Lopez to beat Thomas Johansson |
1.75 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.75 (Betfair)
Simply put, Feliciano Lopez is just a better clay court player than Johansson. Thomas tries to avoid playing the clay tournaments and has only won four clay matches in the last two years. Lopez, who has reached the fourth round of the French Open, will use his big serve and clay experience to oust the Swede in this one. |
| |
Stanislas Wawrinka to beat Tomas Berdych |
2.00 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 2.00 (Interwetten)
The former French Open Junior Champion Wawrinka is starting to show some of his great potential. He had two wins in the quallies, which included a very solid win over Alberto Martin, as well as a quarterfinal appearance in Barcelona a week and a half ago. Berdych hasn't been living up to expectations since defeating Federer in the Olympics last year. He is 6-11 on the season and is coming off a surprising loss to Tabara last week in Estoril. We see the promising Swiss taking this one. |
| |
Juan Monaco to beat Robin Soderling |
1.55 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.55 (Game Bookers)
The little Argentine has realy started to play some great tennis. A final in Casablanca followed up by a qaurter in Munich last week. Soderling really struggles on the clay and with the exception of a good showing in Bastad has not won a match in the last two years. |
| Apr 27, 2005 |
Albert Costa to beat Nicholas Massu |
1.45 |
|
| |
Bet 2 units on 1.45 (Game Bookers)
As good of a clay courter as Massu is, he just isn't ready to beat a player of Costa's class right now. Massu has only played three matches this year and last week went down 6-4 6-0 to the struggling Dupuis, who proceeded to get beaten comfortably in the next round by James Blake. King Costa is coming into some form and we look for a comfortable win in this one. |
| |
Michal Tabara to beat Gaston Gaudio *FREE PICK* |
8.0 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 8.0 (Pinnacle Sports)
Gaudio was down match points today to Jan Hernych before eventually routing the Czech in the third set. But Gaudio doesn't look to have his game face on this week and we like Tabara to surprise Gaudio in this one. Tabara had a very solid win in the first round over the talented Berdych and doesn't get intimidated against the higher ranked opponents.
|
| |
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez to beat Joachim Johansson |
2.15 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.15 (William Hill)
Johansson got his second clay court win in the last year today and we don't see him adding another one tomorrow. Garcia-Lopez took care of the hard serving monster Karlovic today so we see Garcia-Lopez being able to handle Johansson's serve. Joachim really isn't comfortable on the clay and we see the Spaniard advancing in this one. |
| Apr 25, 2005 |
Juan Monaco to beat Lars Burgsmuller |
1.20 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.20 (Interwetten)
A shorty to start the week off. Monaco, a finalist in Casablanca earlier this month, will be much too good here against the struggling Burgsmuller, who is 2-7 in ATP matches this year and has gone down easily in his last two clay outings. |
| Apr 21, 2005 |
Guillermo Canas to beat Radek Stepanek |
1.40 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.40 (Stan James)
Canas comes into this match having beaten Stepanek twice and not having lost a set to him. In those two wins, one was this year at the Australian Open, where Stepanek managed to get only 5 games in three sets and the other was a straight set win for Canas on clay last year. Canas is as tenacious and as hard working as they come, and as crafty as Stepanek is, we see Canas advancing in this one. |
| Apr 20, 2005 |
Stanislas Wawrinka to beat Paradorn Srichaphan |
1.54 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.54 (Pinnacle Sports)
Wawrinka, the former French Open Junior Champion, is coming into this match with three matches under his belt in the tournament, after coming through the quallies. He had a good showing in the first round, taking out Garcia-Lopez and is definitely a good up and coming talent to be reckoned with. Srichaphan has only won 5 matches in the last two and a half years on clay and his first round win over Carlsen didn't really impress us here. We see Wawrinka being too good for Srichaphan on the dirt. |
| Apr 19, 2005 |
Gael Monfils to beat Agustin Calleri |
2.11 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.11 (Pinnacle Sports)
We rate this young French man pretty highly and he comes into this match having killed two players in quallies. Calleri hasn't been impressive as of late and we see the 2004 Roland Garros Junior Champion advancing here. |
| Apr 18, 2005 |
Jose Acasuso to beat Fernando Vicente |
1.44 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.44 (Stan James)
We think the hard-hitting Argentine is in a different class to Vicente right now, who had to receive a wild card to even get into this tournament. Acasuso played well in South America earlier this year in comparison to Vicente, who has been battling away on the challenger circuit. The courts in Barcelona play fast and should be similar to the ones in Buenos Aires, where Acasuso grew up. |
| |
Robby Ginepri to beat Mardy Fish |
1.67 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.67 (Stan James)
Ginepri is 3-0 lifetime against Fish, although two of their meetings were years ago. He handled him pretty comfortably earlier this year in Memphis and we don't think the red clay in Houston will change things. To say Fish isn't comfortable on the dirt is an understatement. He barely played last year on the stuff and when he did, it wasn't too impressive. We see Ginepri advancing in this one. |
| Apr 16, 2005 |
Raphael Nadal to beat Richard Gasquet |
1.30 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.30 (Game Bookers)
We can't sit around and watch this kid win another match without having you guys on it. The tennis Nadal is playing right now is scary. The kid just reversed a 0-6 6-0 6-1 loss earlier this year to Gaudio into a 6-3 6-0 win against him today. And Gaudio does not drop too many on the dirt. We won't break the bookies with this pick but with this one, you can sit back, watch a teenage sensation and make some cash in the process. |
| Apr 13, 2005 |
Fernando Gonzalez to beat Mario Ancic |
1.53 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.53 (Stan James)
We're taking the hard hitting Chilean in this one. He has played more on clay this year than Ancic and put simply, is just a better dirtballer. Mario, while very talented, prefers the faster surfaces and we can't see him matching guns tomorrow with Gonzalez. Good value at 1.53 here. |
| Apr 12, 2005 |
Albert Costa to beat Michael Llodra |
1.36 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.36 (Stan James)
We feel that the former French Open Champion is simply in another class. He played well last week with some good wins in Valencia and we can't see the flashy Frenchman Llodra getting in his way in this one.
|
| Apr 11, 2005 |
Fabrice Santoro to beat Robin Soderling |
1.69 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.69 (Pinnacle Sports)
We're getting behind the little French magician in this one. To say Soderling isn't comfortable on the clay is an understatement. On top of that, he hasn't been healthy lately, not competing in Indian Wells or Miami. We see the crafty French man getting through this one.
|
| |
Mariano Zabaleta to beat Tim Henman |
2.00 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.00 (Stan James)
We see some value on this one. Zabaleta is 4-4 lifetime against Henman and got him last year on clay in Rome. He has played well enough this year in South America and we feel that gives him an edge over Henman, who is making his debut on clay for 2005. It'll be a close match but we think the Argentine will sneak this one out.
|
| |
Felix Mantilla to beat Joachim Johansson *FREE PICK* |
1.40 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.40 (Game Bookers)
We like the way the spaniard is playing right now. He comes into this event with great preparation after playing in South America and in Valencia last week. In contrast Johansson hasnt played on clay this year and to be frank hasnt played well on hard court of late losing to Santoro and Morisson in his last two events. We think the Spanish veteran will have too much tomorrow.
|
| Apr 06, 2005 |
Albert Costa to beat Stefan Koubek |
1.53 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.53 (Stan James)
We're taking the 2002 Roland Garros Champ here. Koubek is short on matches for one, having just sat out a doping suspension and we can't see him beating Costa under any circumstances here on clay. Costa has not been a picture of consistency recently but comes into this match with a great win over Davydenko and on home soil, we see him being just too strong for Koubek. |
| Apr 05, 2005 |
Juan Monaco to beat Davide Sanguinetti |
1.35 |
|
| |
Bet 1 unit on 1.35 (Game Bookers)
We rate this young Argentine very highly and think he will have too much for the aging Sanguinetti. We can't see him losing this one. Saguinetti had his first hit on clay last week and didn't fare too well going down first round in the Napoli challenger. |
| |
Santiago Ventura/Florian Mayer Parlay to beat Hicham Arazi/Bohdan Ulihrach *FREE PICK* |
2.00 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 2.00 (Game Bookers)
Defending Champion Ventura is over his illness from last week and looks to be too strong for Arazi. The talented Moroccan is still on the comeback trail and didn't look too good in Indian Wells three weeks ago going down 6-1, 6-1 to Tomas Berdych. Three weeks of hitting since then won't be enough to get him by Ventura. Mayer has struggled through 2005 but we feel he has turned the corner with some good wins last week in Miami. Ulihrach doesn't play too often on the dirt and we feel the quick courts in Morocco will suit Mayer. |
| Apr 04, 2005 |
Christophe Rochus\Nicolas Almagro Parlay to beat Mehdi Tahiri\Lars Burgsmuller |
1.49 |
|
| |
Bet 0.5 unit on 1.49 (Interwetten)
Mehdi Tahiri is the beneficiary of a Moroccan wild card and is 0-15 lifetime on the ATP tour. Christophe played Mehdi Tahiri at this tournament five years ago and lost only three games to him. We look for a similar result in this one. Burgsmuller is having a poor year and lost in the first round of a challenger three weeks ago. Almagro is entering into his favourite part of the season on the clay and even though he hasn't had a great 2005, will take this one. |
