Re: French Open - 3rd Round On Selections Here
There’s some decebnt value in the men’s doubles where Nestor/Knowles take on surprise finalist Dlouhy and Vizer
This is what I said about Nestor/Knowles prior to backing them in the SFs

"In the men's doubles tomorrow veteran pairing of Knowles and Nestor look value to see of Bhupati and Stepanek. K & N have been a doubles pairing since 2003 and have racked up 20 titles in that time including 7 on clay. They've a sole Slam in the US to their names but with the top two seedings of Bjokrmann/Mirnyi and the Bryan twins out they will never get a better chance to win at Roland Garros - prior to this they were W4 L15 against the Bryans. En route to the semis they have yet to drop a set although the only real tests were against Pavel/Waske in the 3rd and Kohlmann/Schuettler in the QF. They have plenty of Slam experience although I would think that clay is their weakest surface."

Dlohu and Vizner pulled off 2 major shocks in a row by beating the Bryan twins in the QF and the very experienced pair of Santoro/Zimonic in the semis. They are definitely clay specialists and in their sole meeting (on clay) back in Barcelona last year it took Nestor and Knowles 3 sets to see them off.
With their experience and record behind them Nestor and Knowles are well deserved favorites. They are no way 1.40 shouts. 1.66 would be a fair price in my view so this is big big value. I’ve covered with a stake on 3 sets.
Lay Nestor / Knowles@ 1.4 (Risk 0.75 Units)
0.25 Units Nestor Knowles to win 2-1 @ 4.0
