I sort of agree with you on Mauresmo Mr.I. Szavay couldn't hold serve against Errani and was fairly lucky there, but I'll stay clear. Much better opportunities coming up. Muller hammered good and proper today. That's my girl.

VERDASCO @ 1.65 Pinnacle. Verdasco should be pretty solid here. He's been playing really well the past few months, and after a couple of setbacks the past few weeks he looks to be refreshed this week. He's come through so far without dropping a set and has been solid on serve. Fish has done well this week, but to me he's always on the edge of taking a thumping. He's have to serve at his best just to keep this close otherwise Verdaso should be far too strong from the back. Solid fav.

WOZNIACKI @ 1.57 Ladbrokes. Couple of youngsters rising to the top of the game but today I have to take Wozniacki. She's looked good this week and is in very good form. Cornet really struggled on serve yesterday and there are rumours of an injury affecting her serve. Wozniacki is sure to take advantage and at a seasonable price with a 1-ball bookie this looks a decent play.

Absolutely mental so far

Annoying week I keep going 1-1 with favs

CHAKVETADZE @ 1.95 Centrebet. Just had a little bit on Anna Chak here as Centrebet are out of line and getting bigger than Betfair and Pinnacle is always nice. I really like Chakveadze, but she's really struggled on serve this year. Recently it seems to have got a bit better and she's got some beter results this week. If she can get a bit of confidence going she'll be far too solid for Mauresmo who is also playing better lately. Just taking this on price I think 1.80 is about fair in this match.

CHAKVETADZE @ 2.46 Pinnacle. Backed both of these ladies in the semis so it's good to see them in the final but makes it harder to choose a side. I'm willing to go with Anna Chak who is showing her best form for quite some time. She's had personal and serving problems, but appears to be getting it back together and is a class act when in form. Looking at finals, Chak has a very good 8-3 record including winning her last 7 including wins over Petrova and Jankovic. Wozniacki is 4-2 but only one at WTA level, and that was against Dushevina. This is a big step up and a very big match for her. This should be a close final, and I'm willing to go for Chak at this price.

[Mr Intensity]

Chak was a set up and doing well, but really fell apart later on.

CILIC @ 1.85 Canbet. Just because I'm going to stay up to watch it! Fish came through a very strange match with Verdasco yesterday and I'm willing to take him on here. Cilic has been pretty good all week and has a massive amount of potential on hard courts, maybe he's starting to realise it. He is capable of very poor displays, however, so is Fish. Fish playing at home should have a good crowd which is an edge, but I still think he's worth taking on. I think the fair price for Cilic is around 1.70-1.75.
