    Opinion on Saturday underdogs please

    I am interested to get your thoughts on some underdogs for Saturday. I am trying a new system and it has spit out some underdogs to chance on but I'm not sure I like any of them. Since all of you know more about this than I do, tell me if you think any of these would be a good play, please.

    All on the ATP side:
    Montanes +165 vs Serra
    De Bakker +330 vs Berdych
    Berrer +110 vs Lopez
    Anderson +195 vs Wawrinka
    Girlado +230 vs Youzhny
    Lu +280 vs Gonzalez

    there are usually a fair share of upsets in the early rounds so anyone is worth a play....i think lu is getting better and may have a shot of knocking off gonzalez...any of the other one's are possible but you may get 2/6 right...so its worth a shot.

    Lu played Gonzalez very tough in their first meeting...He actually beat Gonzalez 6-1 in the first set before losing the next two 7-5.6-3...so taking the over or lu + games is a good play

    Andy Murray is usually vulnerable to an upset....in his last 4 years at Miami he has gone..1st round loss - semis - 1st round loss - finals....so if he keeps the pattern he will be out in his first match against Fish....I think he will break the pattern this year and knock fish off. Murray practices all year long in Miami and considers this a 'home' tournament.

    Thank you so much for your valuable opinions, Tsonga. I've only seen Lu play twice, both times against Roddick, so I'm not well versed on him. Your replies are very much appreciated. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    I wouldn't touch Berrer or Montanes. I like Petzschner at +120, but he isn't up at my book yet. Gonna look at the bigger dogs tomorrow morning. GL to ya.

    So it looks like Murray stuck with tradition - 1st round exit/semis/1st round exit/finals/2010 - first round exit to Fish ...I can't stand his tennis...

    Great view on Murray, Tsonga. Good ol' Andy couldn't even force a tiebreak in either of the sets. I will remember this for next year.
