Great pick to start the ball rolling

ATP Sydney

Istomin v Anderson
Istomin +2.5 (-123, $1.81 Pinnacle) 1.5x
Istomin m/l (+160, $2.60 Pinnacle) 1x *Very generous price.

ATP Aukland

Querry v Levine
Querry 2-0 (or -1.5 Sets) (-110, $1.90 Pinnacle) 1.5x
*Same bet, different opponent. Again the odds are very generous. Those that have been following this tennis thread since the start know that I am a huge Querry fan. American's best male tennis player and one to watch out for this season. Has the potential to crack the top 10 this year (If Tipsarevic can then anyone can).

WTA Sydney

Radwanska v Li
Li m/l (-125, $1.80 IAS/Sportsbet) 1.5x
*3 matches played on hard courts in 2012, 3 straight set beat-downs by Li. If Li can keep the errors down and attack the weak Agi second serve then it should be a formality as when Li is hitting significantly more winners than UE's, she is arguably the 2nd best hardcourt player (behind you know who) in the WTA. What is not arguable is that Li is the superior hardcourt player to Radwanska. Li showed plenty of fight against the dangerous Keys yesterday so she must have some interest in winning the tournament. Li controls her agression and she will hit Agi off the court.
