    Australian Open 2016

    I generally do pretty well during Grand Slams. Hopefully I can give some good picks, and we can get good discussion going. First play:

    Milos Raonic -1285 vs Lucas Pouille
    Bernard Tomic -420 vs Denis Istomin
    Belinda Bencic -410 vs Alison Riske
    Maria Sharapova* -2000 vs Nao Hibino
    Victoria Azarenka* -2100 vs Alison Van Uytvanck

    About -120

    I may not put this in right away. I'm just now reading that Bencic had some kind of foot injury several days ago. Need to look into that more.

    Also, Tomic was sick at the same time. Does that bother anyone?

    Bencid said she felt sick during the night and decided to retire against Puig.

    Tomic was one of the most funny retirements I've ever seen, during his match against Gabashvili he said to the refree Mohamed Layani: "I have a good draw in Melbourne. It just came out. I'm looking for Melbourne, I'm not looking for this."

    Tomic has always been and always will be a moron.

    Isn't it better to pick one game with a handicap? same odds

    also penetrate Puig.

    Meh, parlays ? Also, is Sharapova even worth it, with a questionable injury but at these crazy odds ? Last year she was healthy but still almost lost down under to a Hibino-caliber player.

    Eh. I don't trust handicaps.
    Puig is a little risky, but I like her chances

    I know, parlays. I've had good luck with them though... Not worried about Pova. Not going to dwell on that one match in the past

    Hibino may take a set
    Raonic may actually lose but I think he wins 3-1 however there is value on Pouille, who played well at the end of December
    Riske is playing better than last year, and Bencic is playing not as good over the last 3 months

    I think he'll be fine. Had a decent tournament in Brisbane. In Australia. Motivation should be there, as it sounds like he retired last match with the AO in mind.

    Always feels good to get a win off the bat with the weakest link in the parlay

    Not worth it at this odds. The WTA is volatile. You can hardly predict which players will make the semis. Just saying. Won't be surprised if both Vicky and Serena are out before the semis. Kvitova and Muguruza do have an outside chance, IMHO.

    WTA is hard to predict, LOL. Which is why Serena won three Slams last year; and Bouchard made 4 semis a year ago. Just because you have a boner for big girls, does not make Kvitova and Muggz contenders down under.

    Sprinkle

    Eugenie Bouchard +295 vs Agnieszka Radwanska

    I could see Genie getting worked right off the court, but at the same time I think she has the ability to hit Aga off the court on a good day. Very small amount. We'll see!

    CSN was -130 after losing the 1st. I know she is a headcase, but maybe not that much of a headcase. Not Coco-style headcase. Sakkari will probably get bageled in the 2nd.

    Not a lot standing out ATM for the matches today. Going to wait for 5Dimes to put up Friday's matches.

    Not yet knowing some of the odds, I like: Raonic, Vika, Feds, Bencic, Pova
