*These are my plays for round 1 in the men's and women's draw of the Australian Open. Feel free to tail them, fade them or just ignore them, the choice as always is yours. I have been betting on tennis for almost 15 years, so a couple of bad days is not the end of the world for me. I am still up 15-20 units in the two months I have been posting tennis plays on SBR. I do need to update my record, however after putting 10+ hours into my round 1 plays, that is the last thing I feel like doing at the moment. Will update the YTD tomorrow morning before the start of play. My goal is +15 units for the entire tournament and I think it is a realisitc one as obviously I play a far higher volume of matches than most of the other solid tennis cappers that I know. It's what I've always done and it works for me. Each to their own. I'm actually thinking about heading down to Melbourne park for a day to catch some of the action, but probably not til week 2. Cheers and good luck everyone with your plays over the next two weeks. It's tennis time.
