Friday continued

Terrific tennis in prospect. Going to take an interest in the first match. Both Djoko and Delpo have not dropped a set coming into their semi-final match. This is a remarkable stat for Delpo as he was badly injured after a few points of his match against Ferrer. Yet he recovered and came through.

The H2H is 8-3 for Djoko so one could be inclined to think that this will be straight forward. However Delpo won their latest encounter and also won their only match on grass, Delpo beat Djoko at the Olympics last summer to earn the Bronze medal, in itself a great recovery as he had gone so close to putting out Federer to earn a place in the Olympic final. 

Delpo is around 11/2 on betfair to win the match (after commission). However I think it is worth giving up half a point and backing him with one of the bookmakers who require the match to be completed for settlement. That means if Deplo's leg is bad and he retires during the match stakes would be returned. Bookmakers who settle in this way include Bet365, VC and WH. I have had:

2pts win Delpo to beat Djoko @ 5/1 Bet365 

However if you have a VC account you should have the bet there (at 5/1) as you will also get your money back (as a free bet) if Delpo loses in five sets. I have also had this miracle bet:

0.5pts Delpo to win 3-0 sets against Djoko @ 29.0 Betfair 

So no doubt we can expect what everyone is predicting - a Djoko v Mugray final on Sunday!

On the horses I have added one more selection at Doncaster:

15:35D 1pt ew Hadaj @ 20/1 Coral BOG

The market has gone crazy for my two pokes in the first at Sandown. Would be nice if one of them could win it....
