tennis monday


Djokovic v Kohlschreiber - 1.06 Djokovic

  • interestingly Djokovic has lost a set in the last 3 meetings with Kohlschreiber. This suggests to me that we lay 3-0 Sets to Djokovic if Djokovic wins the first set. Remember it is best of a potential 5 sets.
  • 3-0, 3-0, 3-0 so far for Novak in this tournament.He has rarely been over 6-3 in sets.
  • 2nd round, 1st round, 2nd round for Kohl recently . So far this Us Open, he won 3-0, had a walkover, and won 3-1 against John Isner. Typically with John Isner, a few of the sets went to 7-6 so realistically this was a win based on a few points.
Conclusion
  • lay Djokovic 3-0 sets betting if he wins the first set. 3-0 it ended
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serena Williams v Kanepi - 1st v 50th.
  • Serena has won the last 3 head to heads. He won easily 2-0 in each. 
  • 7 2-0 set wins and a 2-1 in his/her last 8 tennis matchews
  • Final, semi-final and final last 3 tournaments.
  • 2-1, 2-1, 2-0 for Kanepi this US Open. Losing a set and in 3 of those sets, 7-5, 7-6 and 7-6 appears.
  • A consistent performer on hard is Kanepi, going consistently to the 3rd round or beyond. That is where she faces herself today against Mike Tyson's twin brother.
Conclusion
  • Serena has not really been tested lately . She is likely to win in 2 sets and we may not see any real dangers for her based on recent form. There was a wobble prior to this good run Wozniaki twice and Venus .  2-0 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tsonga v Murray - 1.8 Murray
  • in the best of 5 set matches, both players have won at least a set, so lay Andy Murray 3-0 set betting if he wins the first set.
  • 10th v 9th in the world
  • 8 consecutive Murray wins in head to heads ended with a Tsonga win latest.
  • 3rd round, 1st round, final, 1st round and now 3-1, 3-0, 3-0 in the US Open to date.
  • 2nd round, 4th round, final, 1st round for Tsonga on Hard courts of late.
  • 3rd round, Quarter Final, Quarter Final, Quarter Final for Murray so far. He tend to come unstuck at this stage of late.
  • 3-1, 3-0, 3-1 so far for Murray this US Open so he is losing sets which re-inforces the idea that we lay 3-0 set betting on Murray if Murray wins the first set.  7-5, 7-5, 6-4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wawrinka v Robredo - 1.52 wawrinka
  • 4th v 18th and I think Warwinka is there falsely because he won the Australian Open. He is not a regular Major performer .
  • Head to heads see 6 Robredo wins and Wawrinka winning only 2, including at the Australian Open when he met a sick Nadal.
  • Semi Final,. Quarter Final, Quarter Final for Wawrinka recently so consistent but as I say he rarely ventures further than the Quarter Final in Majors.
  • 3-0, 3-1 ,Walkover for Warwinka this US Open. His first match was very unappealing. 2 7-6 set wins suggests old hand Robredo will be  a handful today
  • Final, 3rd round, quarter final, 2nd round and now 4th round US Open for Robredo.3-0, 3-2, 3-1 this US Open suggests that he will not be winning 3-0 today. 5 sets and 4 sets for Robredo versus a walkover last match for Wawrinka. Who will be the most rested?
Conclusion
  • a feeling that both players could win a set today so lay the 1st set winner to be winning 3-0 sets in the set betting market. 
  • If Wawrinka wins the first set, I would lay him at odds on. I would consider laying him at 1.52 pre match just given Robredo's head to head record agaisnt him  3-1, Wawr won the first set.

Krunic v Azarenka - 1.17 Azarenka 
  • the screamer and her annoying boyfriend survive another round. 
  • 145th v 17th in the World.
  • 1st round, 1st round, 1st round , 2nd round and now 4th round US Open for Krunic. How come the sudden show of form?2-0, 2-1, 2-0 so far this US Open for Krunic.
  • A serial 1st round exiter on hard courts, Krunic is over-performing currently.
  • Azarenka has been in decline, as her rankings attest.
  • 1st round, 2nd , 2nd, quarters and now 4th round US Open 2-1, 2-0, 2-0 this US Open, 6-1, 6-1 last round hugely eyecatching
  • The value is in laying Azarenka if she wins the first set. Krunic beat Petra Kvitova last round.  
  • Az lost the first setand won 3-0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nishikori v Raonic - 11th v 6th and 1.83 Raonic.
  • say hello to the tiebreakers I feel. there have been 4 tiebreakers between these 2 recently in head to heads.
  • 2-1 for Nishikori on hard in Tokyo in 2012.
  • Semi final, 4th round, quarter final for Nishikori recently 
  • Final, 3rd round, Semi final ( retired) n hard so far for Nishikori so it's a surface he likes. 
  • Nishikori does tend to drop sets against top 10 players so that is something to note today.
  • Semi, Final, Quarter, Quarter for Raonic recently. So he is performing consistently.
  • 3-0, 3-1, 3-0 so far US Open but the last 3 -0 was care of 3 tie break sets.
  • Quarter, Quarter, Quarter, Semi on hard. Very consistent. His serve is killer here.
Conclusion
  • perhaps back a tiebreaker set ? This is going to be tight so lay the first set winner to win 3-0 set betting or in the match odds. With Raonic, he tends to win his service game so lay Nishikori on his and hope for some quick scalping?  6-4, 7-6, 7-6, 7-5, 6-4 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bautista Agut v Federer -1.1 Federer
  • 19th v 3rd
  • Final , 1st, 2nd round so far for Agut recently.
  • 1st, 3rd, 2nd round on hard for him recently.
  • 3-2, 3-0, 3-0 so far this US Open.
  • Final, Final, Final, Final for Federer recently.
  • Quarter, Final, Final recently on hard court for Federer.
  • Federer is in sparkling form and should progress. So hold out for any surprises here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Berdych v Tiem - 1.3 Berdyrch
  • 7th v 45th and no head to heads
  • 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd recently for Berdych . Gone off the boil a tad.
  • 2nd, semi, 3rd, 2nd on hard recently , conceded at least a set in 4 of this last 6 matches on hard.
  • 3-0, 3-2, 3-0 recently in the US Open.
  • Final, 1st , 1st in recent tournaments for Tiem.
  • 3rd, 2nd, 1st, 1st on hard recently for Tiem. he doesn't seem to like hard court. 3-0, 3-2, 3-0 in the US Open so far.
  • A toughie to predict as there are no head to heads. We have seen before that newcomers to a seeded player can present the unknown ( I have noticed that mostly with the ladies though).
  • If Tiem wins the first set, back Berdych to get back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dimitrov v Monfils - 8th v 24th 1.73 Dimitrov

  • Dimitrov is a very exciting player.
