Hi Brent,

Not a big tennis punter myself but I like the early signs from the new Murray / Ivan Lendl coaching partnership, and despite a tough looking draw, will take my chances on Murray, who's been beaten in the final the last 2 years. Going Murray win @ 6/1 with Betxchange, 2 units, to keep an interest in tournament.

Looking forward to reading thoughts of the guys who punt tennis on regular basis.

Nice one RB. I've done zero analysis into below, just taking 4 of the most backed 1st round matches and sticking into an acca -

Bernard Tomic vs  Fernando Verdasco
Bernard Tomic @ 5/10

Carlos Berlocq vs  Jesse Huta Galung
Jesse Huta Galung @ 1/1

Florent Serra vs  Steve Darcis
Florent Serra @ 11/20
   
Ivan Ljubicic vs  Lukas Lacko
Lukas Lacko @ 1/1

acca works out to around 9/1.

For a an interest gonna do avery specualative ist round acca.Added a couple of picks to (Barrence)Melzer and your picks South, although ive gone for Ljubicic instead of Lacko.

J Melzer     8/15            
B Kavcic     8/11            
P Kohlschrei..4/9            
T Kamke     8/11            
I Ljubicic     8/11            
F Serra     4/7            
J Huta Galung     5/6            
B Tomic     8/15

€1acca around 49/1
bet small to win big :fingers crossed

I have put half a unit on Monfils at 100\1 and a unit on Wozniacki at 18\1 (hope they are both still in)

Hard luck Southpaw with only Jesse Huta Galung losing in your acca! I lost on Karlovic, but manage to be on profit after Kavkic win. I got 9/10 for Tsonga against Istomin on Friday. Betx since broad it down to 1/10. Will be looking for value in tommorow's games.

Youngs looks a good pic at 9/10. Young is 42th in world rankings and Lacko is 119th. Both won their 1st round matches in 5 sets. If we look at the 2 players form, Young went out to Falla in 1st round at ATP Auckland last week. Lacko already won 3 qualifiers for Aus Open and Lubjicic who has not played much tennis in 2012, but it was still a 5 set match. I don't know much more about Lacko. The only encounter between Young and Lacko ended in favour of Young at the U.S. Open of last year 6-4 6-2 6-4. Thinking about small punt on Young.

Good call against Tomic so far, but I still think he will pull it through. Really impressed with him. Might consider to hedge

With you on Tomic, but don't you think its better to play -1.5 if you think he is going to win?

1.5 units Murray/Djoker at 21/10 - like the way he is playing, for me Djoker not quite at his best

Hopefully Ivan Lendl can inspire Murray today
Djokovic suffered a bit in terms of his breathing as well as a few strains during the Ferrer clash, if Murray plays a similar game style to that then I think he will have the measure of his opponent today.
Cannot argue with that logic Brent
2/1 a smashing price all things considered
