Australian Open 2012, week 2 – Tuesday night’s matches

Posted by Jasper Irvine in Betting Zone

Last night was fine as all 4 matches were tradeable with decent prices. That isnt the case tonight with 3 short priced favourites and Sharapova at 1.30 which is no price to back. She is no Federer!

I give Errani little chance against Kvitova.

Murray will need to have a real off day if Nishikori is going to hurt him. At 1.09 hes a cheap lay but I expect the Japanese player to be totally outgunned.

Ferrer beat Djokovic at the World Tour Finals in November but Djokovic was carrying an injury. Having said that, the Spaniard has a good record against him. Djokovic leads the head to heads 7-5.

Ferrer was very impressive in his match with Gasquet and took out the Frenchman in straight sets.

Its another cheap lay but I dont realistically expect Ferrer to win. There is a very good chance that Djokovic trades higher in the opening set.

Makarova was superb against Williams although that may be my bank talking as I layed Williams heavily! Serena was well below her best but Makarova held her nerve when the pressure was on.

Sharapova has the grand slam pedigree and has been in this position before but Makarova has beaten Williams, Zvonareva and Kanepi in her last 3 matches ( and all in straight sets ). She does have a chance to win this if she isnt over come by the occasion.

I think this match will make staying up worth while and should be close.

Ill be laying Sharapova.
