Wager Type : ATP Doubles

BNP Paribas Masters Doubles

Start time :9:30AM EST

B.Bryan/M.Bryan vs M.Fyrstenberg/M.Matkowski

My pick is M.Fyrstenberg/M.Matkowski to win

Odds : 4.30 + Novak Djokovic 1.26

Combined odds : 5.42

Where :betandwin

3 units to win 13.26 units

Hedge : B.Bryan/M.Bryan to win 2:1 sets ( 4.00 ) + Novak Djokovic ( 1.30 ) , at bet365 , combined odds : 5.20 , 0.72 units to win 3.02 units

M. Fyrstenberg/M. Matkowski have to win this match to qualify for London year end tournament with top 8 ranked teams , at the moment they are in the 9th spot and with a win would move up 1 spot . Bryans are top ranked team but nothing is impossible here , M. Fyrstenberg/M. Matkowski just beat them 3 weeks ago , won first set very easily 6:1 . As long as Djokovic wins and they take one set no money loss .

Slightly better odds on Kirilenko win but this one looks like it could go 3 sets with a high possibility of Kirilenko covering +2.5 line even in a loss .

My pick is Y. Wickmayer or F. Pennetta

Odds : + 280 and + 295

Where : pinnaclesports

2.5 units to win 7 units and 2.5 units to win 7.37 units



Counting on Pennetta to beat Cibulkova today and Wickmayer to beat Date Krumm . Pennetta would face Schiavone or Cornet in the semis if she won today , I think she shouldn't have a lot of trouble with either one if she wins today .
Wickmayer has easier opponent today and could face Peer or Kirilenko in the semis , both are beatable .
If Pennetta and Wickmayer don't face each other in the finals I think atleast one of them will be there and should be favored over any opponent left in the draw .

I like the Russian girl (Maria) to win today, ML, GL!

Quick one , Henin looks very sluggish so far in her comeback , Czink should be good for atleast a push .

Start time :2:45AM EST but should start a bit later , maybe 2 hours .

M.Czink/A.Parra Santoja vs A.Rodionova/A.Rodionova

My pick is A.Rodionova/A.Rodionova to win

Odds : - 140

Where : 5dimes

3.5 units to win 2.5 units


Czink has just lost in the 3rd set tiebreak to the former number 1 Justine Henin , being just 2 points shy from the win . I don't see how she can possibly overcome such a frustrating loss in few hours , both physically and mentally . I think this one will be a letdown plus the russian duo can play well in doubles , Czink isn't really a good doubles player not feeling comfortable at the net . IMO this is worth a try with Czink having around 3 hours rest from the tiring 140 minutes battle .

[SonnyCrockett]

wow... great call on that doubles match!

thanks!

 

[TheBrainiac]

M.Fyrstenberg/M.Matkowski LOSS -5.2 units

Not sure what was going on there , maybe didn't care about the small tournament .

Steve Darcis WIN + 5 units

No chance for the old man against Darcis .

Benjamin Becker vs Ivo Karlovic WIN + 2.5 unit and - LOSS - 2.77 units

Easy over as expected but somehow Becker gets broken by Karlovic 2 times in 2nd and 3rd set not to cover the handicap .


Maria Kirilenko + 2.5 GAMES LOSS - 5 units

0-6 6-3 1-6 = only in women tennis


Melinda Czink+ 6 GAMES WIN + 5 units

Easy cover , could have won the whole match .


A.Rodionova/A.Rodionova LOSS - 3.5 units

Horrible call , just a very bad one .


Lukas Lacko + 3 GAMES WIN + 5 units

Lacko wins the whole match in straight sets .


Michael Russell + 4.5 GAMES LOSS - 6 units

Could have easily covered this to atleast 4-6 4-6 loss if he had some brains .


Ernests Gulbis + 5.5 GAMES WON + 5 units

Great stuff from Gulbis , didn't have any faith after the first nervous set .


S.Devvarman/S.Singh WIN + 9.7 units

Feels great to hit a big play on a + 250 dog easily like that .

WIN + 4.90 units

Andy Roddick vs Richard Gasquet

My pick is OVER 9.5 GAMES FIRST SET

Odds : 1.66

Where : paddypower

5.36 units to win 3.58 units


Played 3 times against each other , first set games : 13 , 13 and 10 . Depends who is serving first but in general both serve big enough to hold a lot especially when they are fresh . Roddick isn't the best returner out there and Gasquet will struggle with Roddick's power serves . Total games at over 21.5 , 22 or 22.5 also looks good at - 110 , can see a tiebreak (13 games ) here and a 6-4 or 6-3 set in worst case .

 

[TheBrainiac]

22 games in the end , unreal pathetic performance in the first set by Gaysky , 8 breakpoints faced and then not a single one in the next set .

Brisbane International Final

Start time :1:05 AM PST / in around 100 minutes

Kim Clijsters vs Justine Henin

My pick is Justine Henin + 2 GAMES

Odds : - 101

Where : pinnaclesports

10.1 units to win 10 units


Neither has played great in this tournament but I've noticed one thing , Henin has struggled with her serves a bit but came back strong every time to break back if she got broken . Her first tournament back from the retirement so she is still working on her game . Kim on the other hand has some mental lapses during the matches where she will lose several games in a row and the ball is flying all over the place , also she used to get tight when playing Henin back in the day . I think this could be a 3 set match and even if Henin doesn't win but it's a 3 setter I can easily see one clear set for Henin to cover this small handicap , Kim lost 0-6 twice since her comeback and one of them just 2 days ago to Safarova . This definitely looks like it could be a 3 set match , I don't see Kim winning any set with more than 1 break . 4-6 6-3 4-6 loss for Henin would still cover the handicap or 3-6 6-3 4-6 loss would get a push .
Henin used to have big mental edge over Kim before both ''retired'' , hopefully this continues and Kim gets tight in key situations .
