WTA in Doha

[thetitan]

I think a few of these matches should be on Eurosport, hopefully the quality will be a bit better than the sickening stuff we saw in Open Gaz de France and Antwerp...courts were a sickly colour and the tennis was quite woeful most of the time.

There looks to be a helluva lot of quality going around in Doha though, so I'm quite optimistic about seeing some good tennis

There are a few I fancy to win but are in 'no bet' territory (eg mirza at 1.3), also I think that schnyder vs paczek (young austrian) will be a great match for trading, can see plenty of flip-flops. Peng played pretty well in Gaz de France and I think she's good value against Dechy.

good luck

safina vs srebnotik

safina has a 7:1 record against this opponent, including the last 7 in a row, good value at 1.9 I feel even though I don't rate Safina that highly.

ivanovic vs radwanska today, i feel a bit guilty in saying that ana saved my bacon when she turned her ankle, but she should really be lower than 1.73 - she should be taken on with confidence with bookies who void retirements.

Titan she wont play 90% certain.

I've got a free bet on Horna to beat Calleri and apart from that.....

Um... there's absolutely nothing that stands out today except Nishikori later... If he goes a set down expect fireworks i will be paying for the stream because i feel like I owe it to him

[thetitan]

AH ok...in that case, I also think that Safina, Na Li and Wozniacki are all fair game today.

I'll be trading in-running doha so i might have a look at those pics

[thetitan]

Na Li and Wozzy both won their matches, a bit annoying as I kept trying to top up on Wozzy when she was a set down at about 15's, poor liquidity meant it never got matched

Safina let me down despite a 5:1 H2H record and being in great form.

Well if you were well discipline you would have layed Horna after the first set, because he was dead meat after that lol Calleri steamrolled him. Thankfully I layed, but didnt earn any profits.

Nishikori exploded early second set but the conditions were so favable to Roddick it was ridiculous. Teamed with an awful linecall that cost him an early break in the first and from then on it was a bit of a disaster.

But Doha inrunning was highly profitable, the favourites were diving out of the draw. Cibulkova caught my eye with a stunning win ofver venus. I think she could come through today along with Bammer. Both have been excellent in the wind. I've had small punts on them. And the tiniest punt on Wozniack, not expecting her to come through but Maria hasnt been quite as good in this tournament and who knows what the wind will do today! More sweet papers perhaps?

These selections very much depend on the wind, so makesure you got a tv handy, I'm at work so crossing my fingers on the form of the weather

Best of Luck

perhaps a blessing in disguise for us nishikori fans...

today, I'll be laying sharapova against wozniacki. I like wozniacki and she's highly rated. I don't make sharapova a 1.1 shot even though she should win this. Hopefully we'll see some decent trading opportunities.

I also like Bammer against Zvonareva...Bammer has been impressive in her last two matches, coped well with the wind and did tremendously well to knock out kuznetsova.

Radwanksa vs Cibulkova should be a very tight match, I think the value is definitely with Cibulkova here but hopefully will get a better price in-running.

Was expecting to see Jelena Jankovic at about 1.3-1.4 against Na Li, I think this will be one to play in-running as I don't think JJ has the best resolve mentally, Na Li has stuck at it whenever I've seen her and she is in good nick. If the wind is blowing, JJ may self-destruct and Na Li seems the type who won't get flustered easily.

titan i'm posting a bit late now but i backed Li off the back of my Woz loss. however the stats i felt looked good for this.

Li is a very good hard court player (117 wins to 37 losses) and ranked 29th in the world. She also has a 3-1 head to head against Jankovic.

this stacked up well for me for the odds though jankovic is obviously much higher ranked (4) she isn't quite as good on the hard court and with the head to head losses it seemed worthwhile.

Didn't expect her to start quite so strongly and break jankovic twice in the first 4 games though!

[betking]

FF, I looked at Li earlier too, the H2H surprised me, then I forgot all about it! Nice going there though
