Australian Open - men

Some strange betting activity on the Fed quarter today. For no obvious reasons (other than my widely read blog of course!!) the prices on JMD Potro and B Tomic have contracted significantly. The Argentinian is now generally 3/1 from 4/1 for the quarter and the Australian is 10/1 tops from 18/1 in a place and 16/1 generally. Perhaps The Fed's back is worse than is commonly known? We shall see.


I am having one more bet in the men's outright. Our old friend Berdych is in Nadal's quarter and looks to have a decent draw to reach a possible quarter final match with the Spanish number one. He has been in good form down under winning the Hopman Cup for the Czech Republic with Kvitova. Who knows, should he reach the semi he might be playing Delpo or Tomic for a place in the final. Incidentally it's forecast to be in the 90s for the first couple of days which would be no help to the (apparently) well drawn Kvitova who suffers from asthma. 


I have had:-


1.5pts each way Tomas Berdych @ 40/1 with Paddy Power (1/2 odds 1,2)


Total three points invested.
