Jonas Bjorkman has a fantastic h2h record against "The Beast of belarus", Max Mirnyi, who he meets for a quarter-final place today. The Swede leads the series 9-1 , winning the last 6, leads 2-0 on grass, including a victory here in 2003. Coming here in his best form for sometime and following a days rest, it is hard to see why he has been made the outsider agianst his giant opponent.
Jonas loves the grass and will see this as a golden opportunity to reach the semis, in the twilight of his career, he is the best bet today.
I watched Hantuchova beat Srebotnik in the last round and was impressed, this was the best I have seen from her in a couple of years. She faces Justine Henin-Hardene today, the pair have not met for 4 years, but the h2h is 2-2 and Daniela's wins came in big tournaments, one in the US Open. Therefore, she comes with few negative memories. It will be tough, very tough to win, but maybe she could take a set, at the best odds available, we get 4.20 for that eventuality and I like those odds.
I MAY put another bet up later, waiting for some confirmation, heard that one player was injured and practise was restricted yesterday.
4 points Bjorkman to beat Mirnyi 2.24 betfair
1.5 points Henin to win 2-1 sets 6.0 stan james
1/2 point Hantuchova to beat Henin 15.0 betfair
Good Luck.
