I said on my previous tennis post that I was not going to get involved in the ATP event because it looked a probable Djoko v Nadal final. However that was before the draw was made. Nadal has a difficult draw as his half features the Fed, Stan and Mugray. The latter therefore, if the seedings held, would meet Nadal in the quarter final, Fed or Stan in the semi and then Djoko in the final. The Serb, in contrast, would appear to have a much easier route to the final.
I have just had a small interest in Dimitrov who is in Djoko's side of the draw. The Bulgarian played extremely well to win Acapulco.last week holding his nerve in epic matches against Gulbis, Murray and Anderson - each in three tight sets. The surface in Acapulco is now exactly the same as the players will encounter in Indian Wells which will, of course, be of benefit to the Bulgarian. This is a much higher profile tournament of course and there will be plenty of media interest (given who his girl friend is) which could distract him. Consequently stakes are very modest:
0.75pts ew Dimitrov to win Indian Wells @ 66/1 Boylesport (1/2 odds 1,2)
0.75pts Dimitrov to win third quarter Indian Wells @ 4/1 Skybet
2.25 points staked.
