Re: Tennis 11-18/6/2007 (ATP Halle & Queens, WTA Birmingham & Barcelona Clay)

Well, either Betfair's maintenance finished ahead of schedule or my knowledge of time zones around the world is way off Either way, they're back now.

Quick post to start with as this match starts in 5 mins, back afterwards with more.

Lay Gasquet 2-0 v Qureshi @ 1.25, liability 0.4pts

Very speculative one, this, but Qureshi seems to play a hell of a lot on grass, 11-5 for the past year and 55-38 overall. Played Surbiton last week, and has come through 3 qualifying rounds here at Halle, winning the last 2 of them in straight sets, all 4 sets on tiebreaks. That would suggest to me that he has a decent serve, and while Gasquet is a very good grass court player, with this being his first grass tournament of the year, he may take a little while to get into the swing of things. He shouldn't have any problems to win the match, but I'm fairly hopeful Qureshi may at least be able to force a tie-break and give himself a chance to nick a set here.
