Australian Open Quarter Finals [B]Parlay Roger Federer -245 with Novak Djokovic -215[/B]
goes Tuesday 4pm PST
I've followed and bet on all the majors in Tennis for over 20 years. I have watched all 8 matches in the round of 16 this past week either live or on Tivo.
In the Quarters, Federer should destroy his opponent Davydenko in 4 sets or less. After winning his record breaking 15th major last year, the pressure is off and he is playing loose and aggressive tennis. Davydenko just beat Verdassco in a 5 setter, where Verdassco hit only 57% of his first serves and had 81 errors! Even though Davydenko won the last two meetings, (one was indoors, the other was a best of 3 no name event) Fed owns a 12-2 lifetime record. Davydenko looked clueless after being up 2-0 in sets, in the fifth set and he benefitted from Verdassco making many mental errors.
Djokovic has had a rather easy time getting to the Quarters, but his opponent has not. Tsonga had a marathon 5 setter Monday (Aussie time) that went 9-7 in the final 5th set to Alamagro who was down 0-2 in sets! Djokovic has played only 49 games total in his last two matches, Tsonga has played 96! Djokovic won the Australian Open in 2008.
You should be getting no less than Even money on this parlay.
