Betfair Tennis Trading Tips: ATP/WTA Friday 31st October

All times are UK/Irish and are subject to change, and all times are in 24hr format e.g., 01.00 = 1am and 16:00 = 4pm:

PLEASE NOTE, IF THERE ARE LIQUIDITY ISSUES, ALWAYS KEEP THE STAKES LOW

ATP BNP PARIBAS:

1. 13:00 – Berdych v Anderson

A 11-0 head to head lead in the Czech’s favour is hard to ignore here.

Definitely go for Berdych who is a proper hard court player!

Back Berdych @1.28, lay @1.07

2. 14:30 – Raonic v Federer

Roger is finding form again to move close to that World No.1 Rank which he has missed for a while. His performances since US open have been pretty impressive.

Back the Swiss legend.

Back Federer @1.28, lay @1.1

3. 18:30 – Djokovic v Murray

Match of the day for me!

I do feel Djokovic is the right favourite but I am not too sure about the odds. Considering his current form, I think Murray is good enough to make that odds shoot up a bit.

I still think Djokovic might come away with a win but Murray to start better.

TO LAY:

Lay Djoko @1.35, back @1.6

4. 19:30 – Ferrer v Nishikori

Nishi was simply superb against the home favourite Tsonga in his last match. I think the price is right here.

Back Nishi @1.76, lay @1.4

This could go all the way so consider laying the first set winner…

WTA TOUR OF CHAMPIONS:

5. 17:15 – Cornet v Muguruza

Mugu stormed back after getting bagelled against Flavia yesterday. Surprisingly, after winning the first set, the Italian could only add 2 more games to the score card.
Like I’ve said many times before, watch out for this girl in the coming years. For me, she’s already showing signs of a Grand Slam champion.

Considering Cornet did play well against Makarova who has looked completely out of sorts in this tournament thus far, this could be a decent challenge for the Spaniard. Nevertheless, I’m still going to go for her here but suggesting to keep the stakes low.

Back Mugu @1.68, lay @1.3

Good luck!
