Hi guys,

2 picks for WTA tournaments:
LUXEMBOURG: MEDINA TO DEFEAT KREMER BY 2:0 SETS @ 1.53 on Ladbrokes
MOSCOW: PERVAK TO DEFEAT GAJDOSOVA @ 1.83 on StanJames

Veteran Kremer has no tools to defeat very consistent Medina who is in good form.

Pervak playing at home has a consistent and powerful game from the baseline to force a lot of errors from the very erratic Gajdosova.

Tsvetana Pironkova plays an early match in Moscow tomorrow against Petra Martic and is slightly odds against which is a bet I'm willing to take despite her complete lack of form.

Martic put up a fighting display against Daniela Hantuchova in Linz last week after coming through qualifying but she did pick up a thigh injury early in the 3rd set which hampered her efforts and it remains to be seen just how fit she will be tomorrow.

Pironkova made it to the QF at Wimbledon backing up her SF from last year but apart from that has really struggled, she did though show some signs of form in recent weeks but ran in to Peng, Stosur and Zvonareva so her win/loss record looks worse than it might and she does have plenty of experience on the faster surfaces.

15:30 Albert Ramos vs Dmitry Tursunov Albert Ramos 2.38

"Albert Ramos Vinolas to give him his full name is a great chance of getting a successful upset on the odds here been offers up to us at 11/8, i would had him at 4/6-8/11 price range myself looking at form, dont be fooloed this lad can play on surfaces other than clay. His showing in shanghai was something else a big win over cilic before he went 3sets with dolgopolov when not fancied in either game shwos hes a resolute charactor. He did well in the 3 tourenmnets in Asia helping him break well inside the top 100. Tursnov has been average while winning few i would say hes doing nothing to amazing and his injury could still be holding him back and i recommend ramos on Betfair or a bookie who pays out after a completed set of tennis."

Ryan Sweeting - Grigor Dimitrov
Dimitrov is one of the best up-and-coming tennis players. He has all the raw talent to be a top 10 in a year or two, but so far this season suffers lack of concentration against not so solid opponents like Sweeting. Both are around 70 in the ATP Rankings, but I will tip Dimitrov, because he has around 120 points to defend from last season and this time around the draw has been favourable. Watch out for him beating Chela in the next round as well...provided he doesn't underestimate Sweeting!
Dimitrov @ 1,36 Bet365
Dimitrov 2-0 @ 2,00 Bet365

Hi guys,

1 pick for WTA tournament.
LUXEMBOURG: MEDINA -2 GAMES HANDICAP TO DEFEAT NICULESCU @ 1.95 on Pinnacle

Medina in great form last couple of months and confirming her form by 6:0 6:0 in first round here. Medina has 2 easy wins over Niculescu and she is just much more consistent player and also will move Niculescu around the corners and Niculescu has difficultiesto reach those corners with double-handed shots.

Kerber was horrible. She overdid every shot and I was lucky to bet on her losing early in the second set. She tried to be too aggressive, but just did not happen for her. I have no idea what bet you placed, but it was 1,02 for her winning and 1,18 for winning 2-0 - totally not worth it! Better luck next time around!

Small bet on Lucie Safarova to beat Agnieszka Radwanska in Moscow this evening, odds just seem too big to resist.

Radwanska has done well in her late season run to try to qualify for Istanbul and if she beats Safarova she will be on her way to Turkey so that means there is a lot riding on this match for her and against a player like Safarova who can be extremely difficult to counter when in form it might be a very tough evening for the Polish lady.

Not a big bet because Lucie is totally unreliable and on current form should lose in straight sets but with so much at stake it makes this match also unreliable.

Can't really see much in the WTA matches that interests me today, Bartoli should beat Pervak but the young Russian is not one to take lightly playing at "home" and while Bartoli has some decent form on Indoor Hard in her past she hasn't played much on it in recent years and with her 2-handed grip and suspect movement could be in for a tricky match.

Marino should get the better of Schoofs although with 2 young players you do get surprising results, but the Canadian has done well Indoors in her short career and has much greater experience at this level than her opponent who has won a lot of matches this year at Challenger level.

Ana Ivanovic should be a cert in Luxembourg but she's had an up and down season with a bunch of injuries and had to really work against Razzano in the 1st round, Keothavong has played a huge amount of her tennis Indoors so if she's going to cause an upset this is her best chance and she did have a good run here last year...At the odds it must be worth a small Lay of Ivanovic for a trade at bigger odds later.

The late match in Moscow is "home" favourite Kuznetsova against Pironkova and while the h2h is very much in favour of Kuznetsova this is another one of those matches where I'd be surprised if the fav got an easy ride.

Pironkova has done little apart from have another good run at Wimbledon this year but as I pointed out when I tipped her in the last round she has run in to the likes of Stosur, Zvonareva and Peng in recent weeks which was always going to be a tough ask especially for a struggling player, and she did run Kuznetsova close earlier this year in their only meeting in recent years so while she may not be able to pull off the upset I do think she is more than capable of taking this match to 3 sets.
