Australian Open 2010

Bet365 voids the Kirilenko bet, obviously things with Safina weren't good at all...

[CPFC]

Going for a Davydenko + V Williams 2-0 double tonight. Pays just over evens.

Yes, and I can't say that's unworthy... For me the only reasonable approach to this game is some in-running betting, I just can't make any predictions about the outcome and I can't see any value in these odds. Could take Nadal if Murray puts his nose ahead, the other option looks less likely to me (Murray to come from behind).
Just have to wait now.

I better go get it on then engineer. I actually took Nadal to lose the 1st set and win @ 4/1. I was just quite excited seeing the game was on. My mum and stepdad are gonna be late for work. good luck in whatever you bet engineer.

OK, 2-0 Murray and here's where I'm backing Nadal although he doesn't look to have many chances. Still, if somebody could make a comeback in such a situation this is Rafa.

He'll do it for us, Komp

So, Nadal @6 - 2.5 pts

Well, he did... retire.
My bet is void, certainly Komp's should be voided too.

Hi do bookies have different rules when settling a tennis match (when a player has retired) for bets placed in running and for bets placed before the match starts?

[jambojr]

Im still sticking with my Davydenko to win the outright..

10/1 Start, Can still grab him at a massive 7/1!!

To beat Federer tonight 7/4 or +1.5 Sets is Evs

Grab yourselves a bargain lads!

[pk1234]

Federer will win in straight sets

Murray flying the flag for Scotland and England!

Go on my son!!!

I was pretty shocked to see Seen's name on a tennis thread and sure enough, he's trying to wind up the.... errr.... not sure. We don't even have any hardcore Scots at TDP. I did see Murray v Nadal though and for once he looked like a top player. I've been calling him another Colin Montgomerie but he looked way up for that Nadal match and, you know, it's fair to suggest Nadal knew he was never really going to get close so... bowed out... in fact - that is what happened.

Errr, I'll wait for the odds.

Bloody hell, this is some choke by Davydenko here. Takes the first set 6-2, 3-1 up and with break points in the 2nd that would've made it 4-1, lets Federer off the hook, and before you know it Federer's reeled off 10 games in a row (and counting) to take the 2nd set 6-3 and go 5-0 up in the 3rd
