Azarenka v Sharapova: I hope they leave the roof open for this one. This will be the noisiest final we are likely to see. I wonder how long it will take for the Aussi crowd to start mimicking the grunts, groans and squeals… Even though its a Grand Slam Final there is more at stake [...]

Davis Cup Final – Spain v Argentina (Friday)
Well here we go for the last bit of tennis for this season. That is apart from the Aegon Masters seniors event that starts this evening. Liquidity was a little better last year so might be worth a look later. With Davis Cup it can be frustrating when the players are changed just before the [...]
Cincinnati Masters – Final
Federer v Djokovic Rankings are 1 and 4 with head to head of 7-4 to Fed. Hard to see anyone beating Federer this week though Djoker seemed to peak in the semi. I think this could be close but if Fed is focused he should win the title. Djoker has won their last 2 meetings [...]
Western and Southern – Final
Safina v Jankovic Rankings are 1 and 5 and head to head is 3-1 to Safina. The market has Safina as strong fave at 1.44 . Both women have been impressive this week but I think it will be Safina’s day. Her performance against Clijsters is probably the best indicator for me. Jankovic will make [...]
LA Womens Final
Stosur v Pennetta Rankings are 19 and 14 . Prices are 1.74 and 2.32 . Stosur has the better hard court game but Pennetta is also having a good season. This one is too close to call and should be 2 tight sets or a 3 setter. I can’t see this being a walkover to [...]
Suisse Open – Final
Bellucci v Beck Rankings are 119 and 51 and the market has then just about level. Bellucci won their only previous meeting which was also on clay. Bellucci has had the tougher route to the final and would be my pick today but it could be close. Bellucci is ranked well below his opponent but [...]
Indianapolis – Final
Querrey v Ginepri Rankings are 37 and 95 and I think Querrey will just be too strong today. Ginepri is no mug but his ranking tells the story of his level of consistency. One of the sets may be close but its Querrey in straight sets. Options here are to back Querrey from the start [...]
Suez Grand Prix – Friday
Bondarenko v Peer Should be good match. The market has them very close with Peer slight favourite at 1.89 . She has looked the better player this week and came through the quarter final very comfortably. I expect there to be a few swings in price and this could go to 3 sets. Peer should [...]
Wimbledon Williams final
Great day for the Williams family. Their dad won’t watch the match and will be at home cutting the grass ( you’d think he could afford to pay someone to do that……..) Head to head is 10-11 in Serena’s favour. Amazing that its so close, until you find out that their dad used to decide [...]
