I am interested in two matches today.
Very briefly, in Rotterdam the Djokovic-Robredo match looks a coin flip. Both came into the tournament with identical 8-2 records and each lost to Federer in 3 sets, at the Australian Open.
H2h is tied at 1-1, not too much to read into that, but Robredo did seem to have a good read on his opponents serve, which could prove crucial today. At the odds, he is rated a 42% chance to win and that seems too generous.
In Dubai, I am going to oppose, Jelena Jankovic, with Amelie Mauresmo. The Frenchwoman expects to improve a lot today, now that she has another outdoor match under her belt. She has played very well, but it patches and just needs to find a little more consistency. The Serb won their last meeting, in Sydney earlier this year, when she held a distinct fitness advantage.
Mauresmo took the 4 previous encounters and can add to that tally today.
3 points Robredo to beat Djokovic 2.38 Betfair.
5 points Mauresmo to beat Jankovic 1.87 Betfair.
Good Luck.
