I saw Mitu's first two rounds matches and I can say her tennis is good but both of her opponents were quite bad in those matches. She has lost 11 and 8 straight games to Soylu and Chirico in the last month, which means this rise in form is probably not real. Keys is a much better player, this surface suits her, and that means she should win by at least 7 games, which makes this a very acceptable margin. Details

Radwanska is 100% interested in winning the title in her country. She proved to be physically, mentally, and game-wise ready in the Wickmayer match. She had a pretty good performance, especially regarding tactics, which is why she won convincingly. She is meeting Mestach today, who is in fine form given her potential but she's far from the Agnieszka. Everything today will come down to the Polish player. I think she'll win by at least 7 games, which makes this an acceptable margin. Details

With the season drawing longer, Itoudis is relying more and more on defense. One can tell that from recent games, as the only game of their last 6 that went over the margin (82) was at Nogorod, where they almost limited Nizhny to under, after 55 in the first half. This might not be a game of crucial importance, but the leader of the Moscow team wants the winning streak to continue and for the team to stay top ranked. Of their 25 away matches this season, CSKA allowed the opponents to score above this margin in only five: the one at Novgorod I mentioned earlier, in very tough games against Lokomotiv, Himki and Olympiacos, and a somewhat mroe relaxed match against Oktjabr.In all others they went above 80, limiting much better teams than Milan.The Italians had 4 overs out of 11 home home games at 80 points, but they couldn't score more than 74 against quality defenses such as Fener, Oly, Efes, Panthinaikos and Barcelona. The margin seems too high tonight as well, as CSKA are fully motivated and going for the win. Details

''They told me I need to get this team running. I know the team I have and that would have been stupid. They are too young, they would have made too many mistakes. Who ever tried to outrun Paris and Kiel lost. I can get them to outrun Umag, because in that case, I am Barcelona'' Zagreb's coach Vujovic said recently something everyone already knows. Only the fast-paced Logrono managed to get Zagreb at over 60 goals in the CL home game. Kiel did it in Germany in a game Zagreb didn't even believe to have a shot. The other 8 Zagreb CL games finished under this margin and not only that. In fact, they all finished under 50 goals, some of them well under 50 (one with Kolding under 40). The significant SEHA league games with close rivals (Veszprem, Vardar, Tatran, Meshkov, Metalurg) all finished under 50 as well. Vujovic has 19 extremely keen players who can't wait to take on Barcelona today. I'm sure Zagreb will get this game in their rhythm and their level of toughness and no one can avoid that, not even the might Barca. I expect the Catalan team to struggle for each goal because Zagreb always seem to have an extra player in defense. Barcelona have only 4 unders at this margin this year, but I'm not worried about that. Their Spanish league games get finished even before starting, most CL games are no different either. Most of those game, Barcelona didn't try their best, especially in defense. The first key game, the one to Aalborg away was the first one in which they went full throttle on the defensive end and Aalborg finished with 11 goals (the game finished at total of 42, the second-leg at only 51). I believe Zagreb will manage to slow down the pace just like Aalborg and as additional reason, I can think of one Spanish league game which Barcelona barely managed to win. The opponents were Benidorm, who surprised Barca with deep and aggressive defense, limiting them to 10 goals in the first half. The game finished at 53. To sum up, Barcelona's maximum focus in defense, Zagreb's limited offense, and the fact they use up a lot of energy in defense and will want to bring the pace down will make it very difficult for the Croatian team to score 25 goals. On the other hand, I don't think Barca will finish with 30 or more at the Arena where Kiel and PSG were limited to 25 and 24, respectively. Under is the choice here. Details

I think we have a good reason to expect a game with less goals and this is why. Neither team can afford to lose because that would mean they are almost certainly not to reach the semifinals. Tactically, Aarhus have problems because middle back Hansen cannot play offense. He's very important. Skjern's leftie Sondergaard has problems and without him the flow and the offense are just not the same. The previous games Skjern won without him were two against Holstebro (24-20 and 29-24) and once against Kolding (26-23). They are better than Aarhus but the only away game in Arhus finished at 28-21, well under this margin, which is affected by two last Aarhus games - the defeat to Holstebro 39-32 and the 31-25 loss to Kolding home. This won't be a game like those, it will be a much tougher and more difficult for both teams and I cannot expect a game at 55 or more goals. Details

This is a tournament that has previously been won by Isner and Karlovic...The surface used to be green clay but that changed. it is still very fast though, nothing like any European clay surfaces. Gorth fired 17 aces in the first round and allowed Estrella to have only one break point. He said that the ball bounces higher here than on hardcourt. Estrella won Quito (high altitude) in these conditions and couldn't do anything against the Australian. Groth did nothing against his service either, having converted a single break point. Lopez reached Quito final and lost to Estrella. He played 6 tie-breaks in 4 matches back then. He'll need time for adjustment as well since he was given the first round bye and Groth allows no rhythm. I was surprised with the odds at first set tie break, which is set as if the match was being played in Casablanca. Service games are easier to win here than in Indian Wells and Miami. I expected 3 at the most, which I would have probably played.

The bet is under the '1st Set Correct Score' offer. It's for a 7-6 score of the first set, doesn't matter for whom. Of course, any kind of overs in the first set are a good option. Details
