Hi guys, 1 pick for ATP Rotterdam later today:
LJUBICIC-HUTA-GALUNG OVER 21.5 GAMES @1.8 on Betfair

Huta-Galung with big serve and good game at the net, playing at home, should be able to keep it a close match. Veteran Ljubicic is close to retirement and he is unable to win any matches easily lately.

Delighted people are finally have a look at the tennis, looks like noone has posted in a while. Good Shout on the game yesterday.

Today I was thinking of backing Kerber against Lisicki.

Kerber looked very impressive in Paris and could have a big year. I do think lisicki is a good player but already looked close to losing in straight sets to Kerber this season in the ASB classic before retiring. Saw her play in Austrailian open and thought she played well but lost to Sharapova, who was beaten by Kerber last week. Last time out for Lisicki was in Fed Cup at the start of the month where she lost both her games so really on form you've got to think this could be an upset.

Thoughts?

Still undecided but think i'll go for it

Hi guys, 1 pick for WTA Bogota Colombia later today:
SHVEDOVA TO DEFEAT CANDELA BY 2:0 SETS @ 2 on Ladbrokes

Shvedova is a very talented and powerful player who had some injury problems for the past year but when she is on top form she is a top 30 player destroying lower ranked opponents by making a lot of winners. Strong end of 2011 for her and two very confident qualifying wins here in Bogota playing against the same level opponents as Candela

Hi guys; Probably Potito Starace will win against Berloque! Altough great game improvment from Berloq last 2 years, it seems that a H2H 8.0 enought for try!

Potito Starace V Carlos Berloque; Potito Starace @2.74 on Betfair

Hi guys, 1 pick for ATP Rotterdam later today:
HUTA GALUNG-TROICKI OVER 21.5 GAMES @ 1.96 on Pinnacle

Similar pick made by me earlier this week (Huta Galung-Ljubicic over21.5games) – and very similar reasoning in this match actually. Huta-Galung has strong serve, playing at home and Troicki is not at his best, also must be tired after a Davis Cup weekend. Should be a close match.

Hi guys, 1 pick for WTA Doha later today:
AZARENKA TO DEFEAT WICKMAYER BY 2:0 SETS @ 1.45 on Ladbrokes / StanJames

A lot of people thought that Azarenka will be partying too much after Australian Open and will lose in the first round here but she looked so strong and very motivated in the first two matches here. Wickmayer is playing powerful, almost "man-like" tennis, but Azarenka is very good defending and it is a good match-up for her. The odds came down significantly from 1.5-1.53 last evening but still worth taking them.

that's cool sevenup....can't win em all....oh hang on actually jbsouz does! If you are up for a fun bet in the Fed v JN just about to start have a go on first set score. Federer tends to blast out of the blocks quicker than most of his opponents.

Selection: 6-2 to Fed @ 5.50 PP

beware this bet does hinge a bit on who serves first. Maybe wait until just before. Small stakes.

Federer is getting old. He had some trouble yesterday, He managed a winning but seemed a bit out shape with samshes and feorehands hitting the net and going out, altought he still have one of the best services and great flashes of winning forehands and backhands. I trully believe he is getting old, and only see him going for 1 Grand Slam and the Barclays Tournment (to end carrer)for Winning Market. Neither the Davis and ATP1000. These ATP500 might be a good choice for him to try a Winning market, in order to balance the euros he is missing on the ATP1000 finals and GS. But I wouldn't put much faith on my bets for him.

I think the Euros are not forefront in his mind at the moment, more likely the main goal is to win more Grand Slams.
