Na Li to beat Azarenka

na-li-Frédéric de Villamil

I think there is definitely some value in backing Na Li at odds of 11/8, I was expecting around Evens if I am honest. Li has made a habit of producing her best tennis in the early stages of the season and that appears to be the case in 2012.

Kohlschreiber to beat Rochus

kohly-Alvaro Gandara Astray

Poor old Olivier Rochus must be hoping the rain comes tomorrow so he can get a days rest such has been the amount of time he has spent on court this week. He needed 3 hours and 13 minutes to beat Bellucci in Round 2. So the 2 and a half hours he spent on court yesterday in the Quarter Final surely won’t have helped his fitness.

Murray Mania at Coral

Coral are offering a money back special on Andy Murray and the Australian Open.

Basically if you back Andy Murray to win the tournament outright at Coral and he fails to reach the Quarter Finals then Coral will refund your losing stake.

A.Radwanska to beat Azarenka

radwanska-a-Charlie Cowins

This tennis betting tip comes from the WTA event in Sydney and the semi final between Agnieska Radwanska (#8) and Victoria Azarenka (#3). I just cannot get my head around why some bookies are offering odds as low as 1.44 on Azarenka to win this match.

Kohlschreiber to bt Almagro

This tennis betting tip comes from the ATP event in Auckland and the Quarter Final between Phillip Kohlschrieber (#42) and Nicolas Almagro (#10). Oh how quickly opinions can change. Just yesterday Almagro was the underdog to beat clay courter Giraldo (#51).

Bogomolov Jr to bt Benneteau

This tennis betting tip comes from the ATP event in Sydney and the Quarter Final match between Alex Bogomolov Jr (#34) and Julien Benneteau (#49). I would love to know why Benneteau is getting so much backing here from tennis fans. I think at odds of 2.62 all the value lies with Bogomolov.

Nieminen to bt Reynolds

nieminen-HJensen

This tennis betting tip comes from the ATP event in Sydney and the Quarter Final match between Jarkko Nieminen (#77) and Bobby Reynolds (#126). I am a big fan of Nieminen and have been impressed how he has stayed so competitive into his thirties.

Lisicki Good Value in Melbourne

I do love a good value bet and stumbled across this one whilst looking at the odds for the Australian Open which starts next week.

The women’s tournament could be very open. Kvitova is obviously the strong favourite but at times her game can go off the boil on hard courts.

Kvitova to crash against Hantuchova

hantuchova

After coming so close to a huge payout yesterday I am again betting against Kvitova today. The World Number 2 struggled as I expected playing her first match for many months on outdoor hard courts.

She has been invincible indoors but even said after her match “When I play outdoors it’s the biggest problem for me”.Kvitova needed 2 hours and 18 minutes to edge past Dulgheru in 3 sets.

M.Russell to bt F.Fognini

russell-Glab311

This tennis betting tip comes from the ATP event in Sydney and the match between Michael Russell (#99) and Fabio Fognini (#48). This tip is all about motivation and which player wants to win this match more, or should I say which player wants to win it at all.

Fognini is a clay court player who at times does not appear to be interested in winning matches on other surfaces. You can’t blame him to be fair, if you can make a decent living just from the short clay court season why tire yourself out grinding the rest of the year.
