STOCKHOLM TENNIS .......


I can pass on a good word for Joachim Johansson, who continues his comeback tonight.

After 15 months out injured, the massive serving Swede, who once served 51 aces in a match, that's over two sets worth (!), is approaching full fitness. He recently won a Challenger event, has looked very good in practice and played well yesterday in a 4&4 win over Davide Sanguinetti. Serving 11 aces, he gave up no break points.

He is planning to come out all guns blazing in 2007 and will be one to keep on your side.

Tonight he meets Rafael Nadal, it is a shame it is not someone else, but then we would not get such a big price. "Pim-Pim" can be backed at 4.35/ 4.30 pinnacle/unibet, it is likely that bigger will be available on the exchanges, it seems a fair price. If the comeback continues to go well, he will never be that price again to beat the Spaniard, except on clay.

Think I will go with the lay of Nadal 2-0 in sets, it will not be easy for Rafa to break him twice.

LAY 3 points Nadal to beat Johansson 2-0 sets 1.74 betfair ( exposure 2.12 points).

That is it for today, I have decided to pass on the final bet, which was to have been Greece on the level ball handicap. Some late news caused me to swerve this game.

Good luck.
