Tennis 15th - 21st (ATP Madrid, WTA Zurich)

[engineer]

Yes, Ladies did well enough yesterday, but men were thorougly against me.
Mathieu gave up easily and I forced my bet for Ferrero in-running and in the end I found myself in several pts. loss. I'm still mad about the way Ferrero gifted the game to Djokovic.

So, forget yesterday, today's afternoon and evening will be thrilling...
Lay Djokovic for third time in a row... @1.36 1.5 pts
In fact I was giving more chances to the Spaniards Verdasco and Ferrero to beat Djoko than Ancic, but as Wittmann said yesterday he'll stumble rather sooner than later... or maybe his layers will end up with empty pockets...

Anyway I'll go for Ancic today and hope he'll produce the same solid tennis


Kiefer is in great form right now, won two tiebreaks against Karlovic and should beat Gonzalez I reckon. At odds against him I just can't miss that bet.
Kiefer at 2.16 - 2.5 pts


And in the WTA both Kuznetsova and Vaidisova shouldn't be that short priced against opponents who are performing very well and who showed that they can fight.
So the favourites got the lay from me:
Lay Kuznetsova @1.35 0.75 pts
Lay Vaidisova @1.25 0.5pts

Another small profit yesterday mainly due to the Karlovic match going to a tb. This will be my last selections this week as I’m off for a mucky weekend with the missus and internet browsing has been banned. Once again I’m in agreement with lots of what Engineer is saying.
Madrid

Ancic-Djokovic

Very impressed with Ancic yesterday although Mathieu looked like his Moscow exertions caught up with him. If he serves as well as he did yesterday he must have a decent chance. I’ll be covering with a set bet as well.

0.75 Unit Ancic @ 3.7
0.25 Units 2-1 @ 4.00

Nalbandian-Nadal

Small speculative play on Bandy who is clearly motivated this week. If Nadal goes off at 1.66 against Murray this price is terribly off even allowing for the unknown factor in the first match after his lay off. Looked leaden footed at times against Bagy and worth opposing here IMO.

Lay Nadal @ 1.22 (0.50 Units Risked)
Nadal 2-1 @ 4.5

Kiefer-Gonzalez

A match up between Kiefer’s consistency and the Chileans powerful but sometimes wild big forehand from the baseline. Kiefer did well to hold patient against big Ivo yesterday and I think is worth supporting again today at odds against.

1.25 Units Kiefer @ 2.22

Have a nice weekend, Witt and all TDP tennis thread readers, I'm off after this post as well
And I'm gonna break our agreement with my last tennis bet
Nadal to win 2:0 @1.70- 2pts
I don't like Nadal, but I'm impressed how he defeated Bagh and Murray, although he didn't play his best tennis. Today I can see the same happening - a close first set, clinched by Nadal and easier second... Bandy will try and try but Nadal will prevail imo...

Not immediately apparent but Nalbandian made his interntions clear at around 3-1 that he was there to stay.

Trading was of course a traders dream when prices favouring Nadal held up no matter how deep in the crap he lay

[Martens]

just want to help people to earn some money today:

Djokovic to beat nalbandian 2-0 correct score @2.10

i am every day on this tour, having watched almost all games, djokovic is tthe future number one, out of this planet tennis, nalbandian won yesterday over nadal, not impressive in my eyes coz nadal was simply rubbish, he performed like 1002 of the world not 2

easy money, dont waiste time

[Wittmann 44]

Good finish for me on Friday with Bandy winning at fancy odds and Kiefer getting all the breaks (a cruel net cord giving him the break in the tb) to give another solid week.
Missed Bandy’s heroics but to beat the World numbers 3,2 & 1 in a row is some achievement. Well done.
