Parlay cashes with a scare , never again betting on Hantuchova.
Azarenka wins 6-2 6-0 instead of 6-2 6-1 as I was thinking , easy under .
Korolev vs Berdych , over 34.5 lost . 4-6 4-6 for + 350 underdog and then Berdych wasn't able to win 2 more points on his own serve to close out the 2nd set with 4-6 , instead gets broken twice in a row for 5-7 loss . Would take this line any day of the year .
Wawrinka wins 6-3 6-2 6-2 , Kunitsyn won 7 games total , under 14.5 in without trouble .
Henin won 7-5 7-6 , Dementieva had setpoints in the tiebreak , if she converts I would need 1 more game from her in the 3rd to cash both overs . The way it is one loss and one win for small profit .
If I've had any luck both losses could be wins , Dementieva 1 point short , Berdych 2 points short from cashing .
Day 3 : 4-2 + 12.98 units
Australian Open : 12-6 + 14.19 units
Going to start the day with another sucker parlay .
Young is absolutely useless , Hewitt will have his way with him in the rallies .
Youzhny line looks pretty suspect but I cant see how Hajek is supposed to beat Misha , thought it would be in - 900 range .
Daniel and Koellerer in doubles ? GTFO . Koellerer will probably knock out his partner once they start losing and he will need somebody to blame for it . Aspelin had some success here in previous tries , local man will surely be motivated , both solid doubles players unlike their opponents .
Dlouhy and Paes cant afford to lose this , made 1/2 here last year losing to Bryans . Skoch and Friedl typical grinders who prefer lower level tournaments and on clay .
Serena will not lose to Kvitova in a Grand Slam .
Radwanska should be - 1000 against Alla after Alla's first round performance versus the american teenager Oudin , still wondering how Oudin managed to lose the massive lead in 2nd set .

Start time :10:00PM EST
I.Karlovic/D.Vemic vs C.Kas/D.Norman
My pick is
C.Kas/D.Norman to win
Odds : - 175
Where : 5dimes
4.37 units to win 2.5 units
Kas and Norman both decent doubles players , Norman can match Karlovic's serve and he is better at the net and overall quality in doubles . Karlovic should be more interested in getting some rest for his next singles match with Ljubicic after 5 set match with Stepanek and the win over Benneteau yesterday . Kas and Norman entering this tournament to win money as doubles specialists only while Karlovic should be more focused on getting deep in singles draw .

T.Bellucci/A.Sa vs E.Butorac/R.Ram
My pick is
E.Butorac/R.Ram to win
Odds : - 120

3 units to win 2.5 units
Going with doubles specialists team in this one tho it could be close , Sa is decent in doubles but I think having bigger serves Butorac and Ram will prevail .

B.Becker/F.Mayer vs C.Ball/S.Huss
My pick is
C.Ball/S.Huss to win
Odds : - 175
Where : 5dimes
4.37 units to win 2.5 units
Ball impressed me in his singles match against Verdasco , big serve , solid at the net , decent for doubles . His partner Huss is a doubles specialist as well .
Becker is in for a tough match in singles today against Almagro and Mayer has played 4 sets last night as well . Both have very mediocre doubles records , australians should be very motivated to win this one .
Nieminen totally collapsed and choked yesterday in his singles match , Kohlmann is OK doubles player but nothing special and he is retired being 36 , just playing for fun here and there .
Mirnyi and Bhupathi have won several grand slams , playing together for the first time but don't think it's a big deal for veterans like them .
Andy Ram has won Australian Open 2008 with his partner against Llodra and his partner . Both decided to team up this year , I don't rate Darcis as doubles player at all . Odds are just too good to pass up on great doubles players like that against 2 mugs .
