Rome ATP

A very interesting draw for the Rome ATP which is just getting underway. Incredibly Nadal and Djoko are in the same half of the draw. Thus a huge percentage of the market is taken up by these two top players and with most bookmakers offering 1/2 odds to reach the final there are some interesting ew prospects in the other half of the draw. Of course this contains Mugray and the Fed. The former went down tamely to Berdych in Madrid having only just got past Simon - a player he had beaten on the previous ten consecutive occasions - in a final set tie break. As for Fed he looked very rusty in his defeat by Nishikori. I have therefore had a number of ew small bets as follows:

1pt ew Del Potro @ 18/1 Skybet (1/3 odds 1,2)

0.5pt ew Monaco @ 200/1 Boylesport (1/2 odds 1,2)

0.25pt ew Nishikori @ 100/1 Betfred (1/2 odds 1,2)

0.75pt ew Dimitrov @ 66/1 Betfred (1/2 odds 1,2)

0.25pt ew Janovicz @ 250/1 Paddy Power (1/2 odds 1,2)

0.25pt ew Haas @ 100/1 Betfred (1/2 odds 1,2)

Remember that better prices could be available with bookmakers who refuse to take my bets (eg Victor). These bets are reliant on Mugray and Fed not performing well, however these courts are much slower than Madrid and that will be against them. A portfolio of six players should give me an interest for a day or two.....

Total six points.
