Aussie Open Mens Semi Final 1



So Federer came through on the 3-2 scoreline that I predicted but Chardy couldn't oblige with the one set I needed to bring up the 25/1 double! Anyway, Federer was properly tested for the first time this tournament and looked like the second best player on court for long periods. I have no doubt that Andy Murray is going to beat him on Friday morning (Irish time) probably in  4 sets, but I was hoping Murray would be available at odds longer than the 1.7 offered on the exchanges. I am going to wait until Friday and bide my time and hopefully some money will come for Federer in the meantime, pushing out Murray's price - but unless something drastic happens on the exchanges, I will be backing Murray at 2.00 and hoping for someone to match it in-play. Murray is too solid for Federer on these courts over five sets, and as I said at the beginning of these championships, Murray and Djokovic have detached themselves from the rest of the mens tour as the real creme de la creme! In fact, Stan Wawrinka has probably had the performance of the entire tournament.

There is not much to see in tomorrow's semi final between Ferrer and Djokovic. Djokovic will out-Ferrer Ferrer for want of a better expression and it will be a routine rout as usual. I expect Djokovic to win in three, with one set being close. This is just a horrible match-up for the Spaniard and one that there are no attractive betting markets. If you can find good odds on a Murray/Djokovic final, take them. Other than that, keep your cash in your pocket this time.

No recommended bet.
