Hope, the main motivation that I can see is for Tursunov who is playing in Russia. he got ebaten in the first round of the Kremlin Cup, so he may want to put up a better showing. Both players lost in the first round of this tourny last year, so they are not trying to defend points. In saying that, they could both want a good run at this tourny for that exact same reason, and throw out one of their lesser scoring tournys.
No plays for me tonight MadCapper. Some of the matches are quite tough, and the lines even tougher. A lot of short price favourites who " should " win, and a lot of favourites that are normally not favourites, but I cant bring myself to back the lesser performed dogs. Maybe when these tournys hit the quarters or semis there will be some better plays, and if not we have the Masters Series event next week that should produce some winners.
Good luck to both of you.
