A relatively quiet day today, with 2 finals, some qualifiers in Dubai and a handful of 1r's in Memphis. Next week is going to be mental, with all day coverage of Dubai from early morning, and Memphis and Bogota later on each day.
I'd had immediate misgivings when I posted yesterday that both finalists today looked like locks! That sort of thing has a tendency to come back and bite you on the arse. And Kvitova duly obliged by producing a stunning performance to beat the newly-crowned world no1 Clijsters. Luckily it was pretty obvious what was going to happen and a quick switch saved the day. Earlier, Dani looked like the player we all know she can be with a fine display, although she was never under any pressure from Errani.
I hadn't intended to bet on Dubai, but there were a couple of matches with decent liquidity - surprising for so early on a Sunday morning, and without a stream. Was fortunate to make a couple good calls.
There was a funny old market for the first match in Memphis. The 1.65 fav suddenly flipflopped to 2.3 when serving at 2*-3! Now that's most odd, and it signalled a quick retreat out of that market. Looks like THEY knew something, as the fav went on to lose, though not that easily, in two tight sets. Annoyingly I had her as my tip of the day - sadly not so easy to reverse out of that. Had a little dabble on another of the Memphis matches, but it all looked very iffy so packed up for the day.
