Opening fine for me as well RC. I presume you're using this address?

Maybe they just don't like Spanish people!

I'm not Spanish, I only live here

Yes, that's the link I was using and which isn't working for me, but the other link Wittmann put up does work.

By the looks of it though, logging in isn't the only problem they're having. Just looked at the Medina Garrigues game on there, according to Tennis Insight she's never played in the Paris tournament, which is definitely not right according to the WTA homepage

The same with me, but what worries me more is that I got an empty scoreboard from Pattaya, no matter opening it from the WTA page or tournament's home page - no matches appear there

[Napoleon Solo]

Agnes Szavay vs Olga Govortsova

Not a lot to add to this, except that Szavay isn't down as having played on carpet before, whilst Govortsova has a pretty decent record on the surface. 15-4 overall, and 5-0 last year, winning the Minsk ITF. Worth a chance at the odds available.

Only got money in my Expekt account at the moment as I've emptied every other account, so...

Govortsova @ 4.25 - 1 point

Looks like another error on Tennis Insight I'm afraid, Napoleon - Szavay played this very event last year for a start, winning 3 qualifying rounds before losing in the first round proper.

Maybe Tennis Insight haven't transferred their database over in full or something, because there seem to be quite a few errors. Probably best not to rely overly on what it says on there for the time being, at least in women's tennis.

That live scoreboard is always fucking up, Engineer, it was down last night for the Paris event too during the Loit v Srebotnik game.

When it's not working, or for lower ranking events, try this page here LiveScoreHunter - Live Results, Live Scores, Live Streaming Video, P2P Links, Scoreboards, Live Tickers, LiveScore - Tennis / Livescore / Live Results

Ignore the chat function, as it appears to be full of complete and utter pricks, but below that there's a scoreboard which updates after each game. Not entirely sure how reliable it is, but better than nothing.

It worked
Thank you, RC, now I can even put some bets on tennis

[engineer]

And about Szavay - Govortsova game:
I'd well lay Szavay until she proves she's back on winning rails, but I can't be on Govortsova today, she's in dire form since the beginning of the year and the only victory she achieved was in Hobart against Azarenka who retired after the 4th game. I watched Govortsova on Aus Open against Pironkova and she was pathetic - lost 1:6 1:6 and i can't imagine how she did that progress last year. So, I'll be leaving that game alone.

Hello,

I've had really problems to choose pick with some solid confidence so far this week. I've noticed that you were talking even about livescore. Generally it's often problem to find it for small or faraway tournaments.
Even if it isn't tennis livescore specialist, you'll highly probable find all live tennis on Flash Score - Soccer livescore - soccer live scores, results, live score. If you'll search at some time for example soccer livescore, this site is the best IMO. I've tried many other sites in the past, searching the best.

Good luck guys, no bet from me today.

Poor start again although picked up at the end of the day. Need to go and lie down in a dark corner somewhere.

Just one from Thailand tomorrow

Radawanksa – Klepac

The younger Radawanksa sister is current Wimbeldon Junior champ and made the US finals in September. She rounded of an excellent year with an ITF final appearance in China. Both women played Fed Cup in Hungary during the weekend (neither particularly well). Klepac not the best on hardcourt is in a terrinle slump right now – she is W5 L12 since the US Open and hasn’t beaten anyway of any note since July of last year (Domachowska) – they have both played Brintia and Jules Georges on hardcourt within the last few months. Radwanksa won both in straight sets ; Klepac lost both in straight sets. The young Pole should have too much here.

1.75 Units Radwanska @ 1.56

[rcgills]

No time to write much, but am on Dechy to beat Peng. Peng has made a disappointing start to the season, losing a couple of games already to players ranked below her. Dechy playing in her home country should give her an added advantage.

Dechy @ 2.24

[Wittmann 44]

One from the early starts in Paris

Dechy-Peng

I'm with RC here.Looks a toss up here – both on duty in China in Fed Cup at the weekend so both will have had long energy sapping trips here. Peng’s victory over an in form Razzano looks a good effort but she had struggled prior to that early in the year and she was playing at home. Both won their singles games but Dechy went on to play doubles so had an extra day to wait. I’ve a sneaky fancy for Dechy here. She has caught some horror draws here in recent times but this looks winnable in a 50:50 type game.


1.25 Units Peng @ 2.24

[Wittmann 44]

From Paris

A.Bondarenko-Razzano

Razzano like Dechy played Fed Cup in China last weekend and had two 3 set singles and a long doubles match in 2 days. She has lost both matches with Bondarenko (1 retirement) most recently hardcourt in Oz 2007. Razzano has definitely stepped up a notch in the last 6 months but this is not her favourite surface and Bondarenko took some notable scalps indoors last year (and won the indoor event in Luxembourg late 2006 in a tough field). The h to h, surface nad Razzano’s travel issues make me feel that she is vulnerable here).

1 Unit Lay Razzano @ 1.65

[Wittmann 44]

Zapakalova-Cornet

My recent max stakes bets have been mixed so I’m slightly nervous about this and reduced stakes somewhat but Zapakalova looks way underpriced here –

Cornet played Fed Cup last weekend (walloped 3 & 1 by Na Li) ;

She is on a W1 L5 losing slump (sole win against a semi retired Fernandez) ;

Cornet’s indoor record is W1 L7 ; Zapakalova is 21-25 but she has been working at a higher level than her French oppent;

Zapakaolova came through 2 qualifiers in straight sets

2.25 Units Zapakalova @ 2.00
