Tennis week14.07./13.07.2008 (WTA + ATP)

[engineer]

Lots of tennis this week after the crazy Wimby final, no more time to post now, several bets from me tomorrow.

Good luck all

[engineer]

Will have several dabbles later, although I'm that busy at the moment I can't even follow the results on the scoreboard.

Starting with a trebble:
Soderling + Schwank + Granollers - 6 pts

Voracova to beat Koryttseva @2.7 - 2pts

Sanchez to beat Bychkova @2.08 - 3 pts

Armitraj to beat Siriani @2.38 - 3 pts

And a German double - Gremelmayr + Becker - 3 pts

[engineer]

Nice looking coupon today, like some bets:

Dabul to beat Hernych @1.98 - 2.5 pts
The Argie did quite well against Gremelmayr and I'm impressed by that victory tbh. He's getting more and more consistent and entering the top 100 looks an easy job now. On the other hand the Czech is strugling recently and found himself here as a lucky loser. Yes, he's leading the h2h 1:0 but I'm pretty sure it will be tied today.

[engineer]

Initially though to go with another accums, but the ones from Tuesday went tits up so I'll have a different approach.

Kvitova to beat Muller @1.25 - 6 pts
Not much of a price indeed, but can't see the young Czech girl failing today against opponent as poor as Muller.

[engineer]

Chardy 2:0 against Meffert @2.10 - 2 pts

Not logical, but it seems Chardy likes playing on clay the most. I reckon there's a huge class difference between him and his opponent today and the German could be seen off. Great value for me at that price.

[engineer]

Pironkova 2:0 against Marosi @1.48 - 4 pts
Pironkova is still to make her final, but this could well happen in Budapest, can't see her being much troubled bu the Hungarian qualifier.

[engineer]

Soderling 2:0 against Rochus @1.77
The Belgian midget wouldn't be capable of giving Soderling a performance. I'll be very surprised if the Swedish gives away a breakpoint and the job could be done in straight sets after the tough 1st round match against Fognini.

[engineer]

Kohlscreiber 2:0 against Shukin @1.45 - 4 pts

The German was underachieving on clay but now he has every chance of a good performance in Stutgart.
It was a major surpise for me after Shukin turned Berlocq over but the German shouldn't be troubled today. Straight sets.

[rcgills]

No time for much of a write-up, but a few for me today:

Darcis to beat Nieminen @ 2.32 - No way I'd have Nieminen as favourite here. Terrible form most of the year, and Darcis has a clay court title to his name from last year (I think). Will post this now as match is about to start, back in a moment with a few more.

[rcgills]

Chakhnashvili to beat Dentoni @ 2.04

Chakhnashvili came through qualifiers here, and had a good result beating the in-form Wickmayer first round. On that basis I'll take a chance on her here.

Peya to beat Young @ 2.06

Reasonable grass court player against an over-rated opponent

Lay Pavlyuchenkova v De Los Rios @ 1.41

Promising youngster (here as a lucky loser) meets experienced pro and clay-court specialist. Can see why Pavlyuchenkova is favourite, but don't think she's that clear a favourite. Value with De Los Rios IMO.

[rcgills]

Forgot to mention stakes there, 4pts on Darcis, 2pts on the others

[engineer]

One bet just caught my eye, the game is scheduled to start in 12:30 CET, so hurry up:

Hanescu +4.5 games against Wawrinka @1.48 - 8pts, Betfair.

[engineer]

Now the reason for this bet:
Hanescu looked nearly unbreakable in his previous matches this week and I can see the game with Wawrinka being a mighty close affair. Yes, Stan has more weapons than Karlovic and Chardy, but still, I don't even think he should be that big favourite today. Hanesku is doing pretty well in Gstaad and shouldn't disappoint in what looks like a banker bet to me.

[engineer]

Sorry, the price is gone, now only 1.30 available...

[Martens]

1.30 is very good engineer, hanescu won

i come here coming few days to discuss a banker of 1.30, thats enough for me to catch such price!

there are are two or three atp events, we should find some very good choices

cheers
