The tournament gets underway tomorrow and sees the first appearance of Djoko since his semi-final defeat by Stan in the Australian Open. He is odds-on here and heads the draw of course. If the seedings work out he will play Federer in the semis.
Number two seed and favourite to come through the bottom half of the draw is Delpo. The latter had treatment for his wrist in his last tournament so it seems that the problem has not yet gone away completely. With some slight doubts surrounding Delpo's fitness and odds-on fav Djoko being in the top half of the draw I have had a couple of small ew bets in the bottom half of the draw. Things have gone well this year with tournament bets (Stan 50/1, Venus 25/1 and Simona 9/2) but I'm not getting carried away!
Half the bookmakers offer 1/3 odds 1,2, the other half 1/2 odds. So it's important to choose your bookmaker with care:
Bets as follows:
0.5pts ew Kohlshreiber to win Dubai @ 100/1 Betfred (1/2 odds 1,2)
Kohlshreiber is the potential quarter final opponent for Delpo. In the other quarter Berdych would meet Tsonga if seedings hold. Both are in good form with Berdych having the H2H advantage. However Joe is more than twice the price of the Swede so I am going to side with the Frenchman:
1.5pts ew Tsonga to win Dubai @ 12/1 Betfred (1/2 odds 1,2)
Totesport offers the same prices on the above two selections.
