Re: Tennis 12-18 May (Men: Hamburg Masters, Women: Roma)

I'm going against Federer today I'm afraid, Engineer

Been impressed with the posh (so I'm reliably informed ) Verdasco so far this week. Has a fairly high unforced errors count, but you can put that down to the fact he tends to go for his shots. If it's his day, and he hits the lines with his shots, I think he's well capable of an upset in this one. Federer's been up and down this week, looked good in places, but he looked shaky at the start of the 2nd set v Nieminen for example, if I remember rightly he was broken twice in a row in that set.

Lay Federer 2-0 @ 1.57 to win 4pts
Lay Federer @ 1.17 to win 10pts

Also gone with Djokovic -5 games against Montanes. Montanes going OK so far, but against either poor, out-of-form or non claycourt opponents. Djokovic with an eye on moving up to 2nd in the rankings will want to get this one finished off as soon as possible ahead of a scheduled semi-final v Nadal, and I really can't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to do so.

Djokovic (-5) @ 1.833 4pts

No bets for me in the other 2 semis, Kiefer v Seppi looks too tough to call, and I can't see Moya troubling Nadal in the other one, but I don't back favourites at that short a price.
