AUSTRALIAN OPEN ............. DAY 7


Just a few words about some very attractive looking matches.


I will put up two bets for players that we have discussed in depth over recent weeks and one tiny "value bet".


Firstly, in the men's tournament, think that the Federer-Djokovic and Ancic-Roddick matches, could be much closer than the bookmakers odds suggest and would not be surprised if one, or both , went to a 5th set. Djokovic is a player of immense potential and 11.5 for him to take Fed-ex to a 5th set (and lose) looks fair.


Jankovic should beat Williams, but looks too short, this will be fun to watch though.


I will stick with Vaidisova, to beat Dementieva, Nicole should get some cheap points on her own serve and also on her opponents.


Shahar Peer will have to raise her game to defeat Svetlana Kuznetsova, but is priced very nicely at 3.40, the Russian player has still to prove she is 100% fit and fully recovered from her breathing problems.


1/2 point Federer to win 3-2 sets 11.5 Betfair.

2 points Peer to beat Kuznetzova 3.40 Betfair.

4 points Vaidisova to beat Dementieva 1.75 Betfair.


Good Luck.
