Darkhorses to win AO?

Diesel79 · 01-13-12, 12:01 PM

Del Potro is only one who can threat the big 4...

Demonata · 01-13-12, 12:07 PM

Monfils can totally win it.

I would have picked Tsonga instead of Monfils. I think Jo has the head to win a GS when Gaël lacks composure in big moments.
Tsonga and Berdych are the two Dark Horses for me!

GL!

Agree he can make a run but no way he gets past the QF"s!

What do you guys think of Milos Raonic?

Talented player, but he will meet Djokovic early in the tournament and I think he can't beat good returners in a best of 5 match.

definately Radwanska 1 to 35 and Kanepi 1 to 22

Two ATP guys who have the draws to crash the semis: Del Potro & Berdych. I don't consider Tsonga a big darkhorse. He's done well and made the finals here.

I do at 1/20 so for me Tsonga or Del Potro. 3rd and 4th choice would be Tomic and Berdych.

Also it's not Nadal or Murray I'm worried about. For me it's between Fed or Djoker. Then those 2 along with these darkhorses.

Tsonga and Berdych. Been waiting too long already for Del Potro to recover and return to his best. Not sure it will ever happen anymore.

Only Del Potro outside of the big 4, but don't think he's in good enough form to do it. In all likelihood, another slam for Nole.

PLF · 01-14-12, 04:17 AM

Problem with Tomic is that even his FIRST round opponent is someone decent like Verdasco where as most have joke opponents for even first 2 rounds. Otherwise I'd liked his chances.

p.s. Anyone know where I can get a nice CLEAR big chart of the draw so we can visualize better who'll go from each round and who will meet who which can help us in betting on darkhorses. Raonic for example will get Djoker after a few rounds I think if all goes as expected.

I know the official Aussie Open 2012 website has the chart and even in downloadable PDF format but if anyone's seen it, you'll see that it's not very clear who will meet who after a few rounds as the font isn't the best and everything's too jammed together.

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/tennis...s-draw/p1.html isn't that bad, but it doesn't update as fast as the official draws.

ttwarrior1 · 01-14-12, 04:57 AM

Berdych will lose 1st or 2nd round

PLF · 01-15-12, 04:15 AM

If you think that then you should put $$ on that! You'd make a quite a bit!

@Blax0r, thanks dude. Best one I've seen around so far.
