14/01/13 Australian Open day 1

Having done the overall preview earlier, here are my day 1 selections. Jurgen Melzer has been playing rather poorly of late and is up against a wildly unpredictable player in mikhail kukushkin. The Kazakh has had health problems recently and will retire if he goes a set or two down so I'm going to lay  Melzer 3-0 here with that safety net in the back pocket. I fancy Fernando Verdasco to overcome David Goffin in what will be a close encounter. I think Santiago Giraldo is playing well enough to hit through Ryan Harrison over whom he already boasts a 2-0 record. I will take Brian Baker to open with a win over Bogomolov Jr., and i will certainly take the odds against on Roberto Bautista-Agut continuing his good form with a win over Fabio Fognini. I think Janko Tipsarevic will come through against Lleyton Hewitt but 1.69 is too short so i will take the Serb to take out Rusty 3-2 @ 6.4 instead!

Recommended bets:
lay Jurgen Melzer to win 3-0 against Kukushkin 1pt @ 2.28
Fernando Verdasco to beat David Goffin 1pt @ 1.8
Santiago Giraldo to beat Ryan Harrison 1pt @ 2.06
Brian Baker to beat Bogomolov Jr 1pt @ 1.83
Roberto Bautista-Agut to beat Fabio Fognini 1pt @ 2.1
Janko Tipsarevic to beat Lleyton Hewitt 3-2 1pt @ 6.4
