Tennis Weekly Recap (February 26-March 4)

It was a good week for the picks after a couple of largely disappointing ones and that has pushed the profit back up to the where it was before those two weeks of losses.

It was a nice way to get up and running again after what seemed like a couple of tough weeks when things could have been so different with a little bit of luck. Now we get to have a few days off before the tournament at Indian Wells is due to commence.

The Main Draw for both the Men's and Women's tournaments are due out on Tuesday evening for the first big events outside of the Grand Slams. It also means the likes of Victoria Azarenka, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams (in Miami at least as the Williams sisters do not go to Indian Wells after suffering racial taunts there earlier in their careers) will all be returning to action after having a recent break.

One player who will be coming into the events in North America with a huge amount of confidence has to be Roger Federer who has won back to back ATP 500 Events and will surely feel he can get a little closer to the top two players in the Men's game. Another in line for a big month is Andy Murray who looked good in Dubai and has little to defend here from last season when he had a poor reaction to his Australian Open Final defeat to Novak Djokovic.

David Ferrer will also be a tough test for anyone following back to back to wins at the clay court events in Argentina and Mexico as the Spaniard continues to punch above his weight. Ferrer remains a truly solid role model for what hard work can get you as he has got the best, and perhaps more, out of the talent he was blessed with.

Recapping the Weekend Football (March 2-4)

A huge win for Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur to keep the gap to only two points from Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title: Where else can I begin with the fantastic result, if not performance, that United produced from White Hart Lane on Sunday afternoon.


I felt Tottenham were the better team in the game right up until the point they conceded to go 0-2 down, but they didn't really create too much in the absence of Gareth Bale and Rafael Van der Vaart.


United did ride their luck a little too as the referee could easily have awarded Tottenham the opening goal when Emmanuel Adebayor was penalised for handballing before putting the ball in the net. That incident did spark some debate as to whether it was a legal goal or not, but I am of the belief that the striker didn't deliberately handball and the goal should have stood... The bottom line is if United were not awarded the goal in a similar manner when playing, I would be furious with the referee so I have to accept it both ways.


David De Gea also made a magnificent save at 0-1 from a deflected effort and I like the way the Spaniard is beginning to fit into the team after a tough start.


The result could be pivotal this season as United have now negotiated their toughest part of the remaining schedule and I do think there is a chance that they could be leading the table by the time the second Manchester Derby rolls around on April 30th. Manchester City have some tough tests before that game, while United should really be looking to drop no more than 2 more points in the next 8 games.


Football can be funny though, but my expectations have increased with momentum seemingly on the side of the Champions.


Liverpool need to buy a centre forward in the Summer market: All the positives from winning the Carling Cup were forgotten on Saturday afternoon as Liverpool failed to capitalise on the chances they created against Arsenal before being sucker punched with minutes left on the clock.


That leaves the club 10 points behind Arsenal and very unlikely to reach their aims of making it back into the Champions League next season.


Kenny Dalglish has already spent a vast sum of money at the club and he cannot afford to make another 'Andy Carroll-esque' mistake in the Summer as the club clearly need a centre forward that can score 20 goals a season.


Luis Suarez looks like a player that can be a real handful, but his finishing is hit or miss, while I truly do not rate Carroll a bit. The side have created plenty of opportunities at Anfield all season, but failure to find the net with any consistency has cost them.


There are still too many average players in the squad, but buying someone who can score goals consistently would have covered a number of deficiencies this season and will give them an extra step of turning a number of draws at Anfield into wins.


As I was growing up, Liverpool always seemed to bring through strikers who could do this, from the likes of Ian Rush through to Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen... What they would give for someone of that ilk to be found to spearhead their attack in the future?


Andre-Villa Boas Sacking: I was a little surprised that Chelsea decided to pull the trigger on removing Andre-Villa Boas before they were knocked out of the Champions League and the FA Cup. I think Chelsea are being run in a terrible way with the owner getting his hands far too dirty and it is ridiculous that they decided to pay Porto 13 million for AVB's services only to remove him nine months later.


The players at the club consider themselves untouchable, certainly those who have allegedly played their part in getting the Portuguese man sacked, and that is never going to see a club progress in the correct manner.


You just don't imagine Manchester United being run in this manner, so the Chelsea team need a strong manager to take over and clear some of the 'characters' from the dressing room that are causing more problems than solutions as they get older.


We have seen players being tolerated when they are performing, but the ones at Chelsea are not good enough or doing well enough to be allowed to get away with this as it seems they are now responsible for the third manager in a row being fired.


Who comes in next will be very interesting- I personally am very surprised that Abramovich doesn't go all out and offer Guus Hiddink all he wants to bring him back to Stamford Bridge considering the success he has had in his first stint here and the fact that the players seem to respect him. I don't think Jose Mourinho will come back after his experiences when he was at the club, while Pep Guardiola is another unlikely candidate.


Rafa Benitez would make sense considering his record in the Champions League, the one competition Abramovich wants to win, but this is fast becoming one of the worst jobs to take with the lack of time being given to managers.


Wigan are in deep trouble: I was disappointed to see Wigan lose so comfortably to Swansea at home at the weekend and I think they are in big trouble now despite only being 2 points from safety.


The bottom line is the team does not score enough goals and can't stop conceding, not really the best combination when it comes to trying to survive in the Premier League. Dave Whelan made it clear in public on a radio phone-in that he was not satisfied with the level of performance from the side and the pressure is definitely on the side to earn some positive results and pull themselves out of trouble.


This pressure will only increase if they do not pick up at least 6 points from their next 4 League games at Norwich City, at home against West Brom, at Liverpool and at home against Stoke City. The reason is they then face the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle United and the ever improving Fulham in April with a serious chance of them being cut off from the safety positions come May.


I like Roberto Martinez, but I just don't see them having a miraculous escape this season if they don't start picking up points beginning on Saturday at Carrow Road.

Tennis Picks March 3rd

It looked like I was going to suffer a devastating day yesterday as the first three picks I made all lost, some unfortunately, others heavily.

Fortunately, Fernando Verdasco continued his hot week and brought in some profits for the third day in a row, and then Kevin Anderson fought back from a set down to take out Andy Roddick. Those two wins means it was only a slight loss on the day and maintaining profit for the week.

We will have a slight break after today as Indian Wells gets up and running with qualifiers during the week- I won't make picks at that stage, but the actual tournament begins next Saturday so I should have an outright preview of both Men's and Women's events before then and once the draw is out.

Roger Federer v Andy Murray: The Dubai Final takes place today and I am going to back the former World Number 1 to get the better of Britain's Andy Murray.

Murray actually has a winning record over Federer, leading the head to head 9-6, which includes a 6-3 lead on outdoor hard courts.

However, they have not played much recently, with only one meeting all of last season on the indoor courts at the ATP World Championships in London (Federer won 6-4, 6-2).

I like Federer today as he has definite course and distance form being a four time winner in Dubai, and I think he has been serving very well all week. That may just give him the edge in this contest although Murray is an effective returner of serve.

Murray was very efficient yesterday against Djokovic and will need to serve as well as that if he is to win this game. However, he can be a bit up and down as we have seen all week and a serving display similar to the ones against Michael Berrer and Tomas Berdych may give Federer too many chances and allow him to pick up his 5th Dubai title and close the gap to Nadal and Djokovic at the top of the Men's Rankings.

David Ferrer - 3.5 games v Fernando Verdasco: As well as Fernando Verdasco has done this week, I think it will come to an end without a title as he faces the dogged David Ferrer in what is likely to be a mental and physical battle for Verdasco.

I remember a few years ago, Verdasco really had the Indian sign over Ferrer despite being much lower in the Rankings for much of that time. Verdasco won 6 of the first 9 meetings between the compatriots and regularly upset the odds in doing so, winning 3 of those matches as a big underdog.

However, things have begun to change now and Ferrer is the winner of 3 of their last 4 matches- I think Ferrer has a lot more belief in his game against his fellow Spaniards in the last few seasons than he did earlier in his career when he would regularly state how his fellow players were much more talented than he was.

Ferrer has quietly gone about his business this week as he looks to secure back to back titles on the clay courts of South America and I think he will force Verdasco to play one too many shots to win points, something I think the latter will struggle to do with consistency.

It might be a close set to start, but I think Ferrer will mentally break down Verdasco by pressuring him to get closer and closer to the lines and that should allow him to win through while covering the spread.

Dudi Sela-Marinko Matosevic Over 22.5 Games: Both players surprised me by winning their Quarter Finals matches yesterday and I think we are going to get a tight game between them tonight, especially judging from their previous meetings.

Dudi Sela holds the 3-0 head to head lead, but all three matches have had to go the distance, while we have seen tie-breaks having to settle a couple of the sets they have competed in.

They also met here last season with Sela coming back from a set deficit to win that match, although all the sets were fairly comprehensive.

It is a slight risk as I am likely going to need this going the distance again to get the cover, but they have shown that they are both capable of winning sets against one another and so the Over looks a decent shout.

Tennis Picks March 2nd

I was asked by a twitter follower why I don't really back the big 4 from Men's tennis in the handicap markets- I do pick them, but rarely in all honesty as the handicaps are usually skewed in favour of their opponents.

This week we have had Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic all playing in Dubai but they have gone a combined 3-6 in their matches on the handicap market. Now I didn't have much faith in backing the likes of Stebe, Stakhovsky, Berrer or Chiudinelli in their matches against these players, while you also need a bit of luck to cover the big handicaps they have been set.

Roger Federer was a great example today against Mikhail Youzhny- the Swiss player was considered a 5.5 game favourite and had chances to win both sets with a couple of breaks but couldn't quite convert. He had two break point chances at 5-2 in the first set and also had at least another three chances at 4-2 in the second set, where a break in either of those games would have seen him cover... Instead, Youzhny just held on and lost in a comfortable straight sets, but covered the spread by half a game.

The picks from yesterday all went very well, with all three winning and that has moved me back into a decent position for the week. I was in a similar spot this time last week, so I want to be careful and try to avoid giving back the profit I have made.

Roger Federer - 3.5 games v Juan Martin Del Potro: Now I know everything I said above, but I like Roger Federer in this match up against the Argentine who is still not at the level of 2009 when he was pushing Federer all the way in their matches.

In the last six months, Federer has met Del Potro three times and won on all three occasions as well as winning all 7 sets they have competed against one another.

None of these sets have gone to a tie-break and I think Federer has enough in his return game to find a way to break Del Potro in each set and that should be enough for him to cover this spread.

I still feel Del Potro has a mental hurdle to overcome against the top 4 players, and he has played a lot of tennis lately. It could be tough for the Argentine to get back up if Federer lands a couple of heavy shots early in the contest, with the match possibly having a similar feel to when they met in the Final in Rotterdam.

Ernests Gulbis - 3.5 games v Marinko Matosevic: I really liked what I heard from Ernests Gulbis following his three set win over Steve Darcis in the last Round as it seems like things have finally clicked for him mentally in relation to what he wants from his tennis career.

Gulbis admitted he has only a couple years left to really begin making an impact on the Tour else it will be too late for him and he also feels it is illness and injuries that have prevented him doing so in the last seven months.

The Latvian has been playing well so far in the tournament and he clearly enjoys playing on what looks like a quick court at an event he has won in the past, while it is his most impressive performance since winning in Los Angeles last Summer.

Marinko Matosevic will not be an easy player to play as he should be full of confidence after coming through Qualifying here following winning a Challenger event back in Australia before that. However, I expect him to come under pressure from the Gulbis service games and I think the talented Latvian is going to come through in straight sets here, hopefully with a break in each set.

Fernando Verdasco v Stanislas Wawrinka: Did anyone else watch Fernando Verdasco's win over Nicolas Almagro yesterday? The Spaniard played some of his finest tennis for almost two sets before nerves got the better of him as he served for the match, even missing a match point. However, I was impressed with his fight in the tie-break to come from 2-5 down and win 5 points in a row to take the match.

There are still some doubts about his overall form, but I think Verdasco is having a big week and I want to stay with him having backed him in the last two Rounds.

His opponent, Stanislas Wawrinka, is no mug on the clay courts, but I think the Spaniard is playing at a decent level right now and could take this match. Wawrinka is capable of pressing the Verdasco serve, but is also liable to throwing in a bad service game per set and that could allow Verdasco to move through to his first Final since Estoril last year in April.

Kevin Anderson v Andy Roddick: This is a risky proposition, but I am taking the underdog as I want to fade Andy Roddick in this one.

Roddick admitted he is feeling a little better about his game, but he is still a little loose on his own service games and that is not the way you want to be against an opponent that is capable of holding serve for fun if on point.

I think this week has been about building a bit of confidence up for Roddick, something he has achieved, as well as bringing his physical well-being up a level before the big events at Indian Wells and Miami in the next month.

I don't think Roddick WANTS to lose, but I can see him falling away if Anderson can get his nose in front by winning the first set.

Anderson had a decent win over Xavier Malisse last night, but did have a hard time in a couple of service games. However, I don't think Roddick returns serve as well as Malisse does when he is up against the biggest servers on Tour, and I think the pressure could tell on the American.

Anderson also won the last meeting between the two having lost the previous two matches, and I am going to back him to level the head to head here.

Philipp Kohlschreiber - 4.5 games v Dudi Sela: I think Philipp Kohlschreiber is playing like he really feels he can win this tournament at Delray Beach and I am going to back him to prove a point by dispatching Dudi Sela in relative comfort.

Sela has had a decent week so far, but Kohlschreiber represents a step up in level and the Israeli player had not been in great form before this week.

Sela also has a hit and miss serve that can really let him down and I would not be overly surprised if he was to drop serve a couple of times in one of the two sets.

Kohlschreiber has won their only previous meeting for the loss of just two games and while I don't think it will be that easy, I think the German has been playing well enough to suggest he gets through with a break in each set.

NBA March Picks

Well I ended February with a run of 4 winners to finish the month with a slight profit, although I am hoping to improve my hit rate to above 63% in March.

Still, I guess a slight profit is better than a big loss, so those 4 winners came very handy as the month drew to a close.

As always, I will post my plays on this same thread throughout the month while updating the win-loss column before I make new plays. As I say, I am aiming to improve to above 63% although I don't make plays every day, especially if I feel a little out of form.

March 1st
Miami Heat @ Portland Trail Blazers Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13317-Miami-Heat-at-Portland-T-Blazers.htm)

March 3rd
Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavericks Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13344-Utah-Jazz-at-Dallas-Mavericks.htm)

March 5th
It took me a day to recover from the Dallas Mavericks failure to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz as they allowed 41 points in the final quarter as well as being outscored by 13 points to win by 6 and just fail to get over the line. The backdoor cover always seems to hurt that much more than when the game is close throughout and I decided to leave Sunday's games alone.

Orlando Magic @ Toronto Raptors Pick: I have decided to play the Over total points in this one for the following reasons:

First, 9 of the last 10 meetings between the teams in the series would have gone over the total set in this game. I think it has been set a little low as Toronto played last night and they are perhaps taking tiredness as a key factor for the home team.


Second, the Raptors have actually gone over 3-1-1 in their last 5 games playing the second of back to back nights play.


Third, the Magic have reached a 100 point total in 4 of their last 5 matches and could really set the scene for the cover if they can go at a reasonable rate from the three point arc.


March 7th
Portland Trail Blazers @ Minnesota Timberwolves Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13379-Portland-T-Blazers-at-Minnesota-T-Wolves.htm)

Phoenix Suns @ Oklahoma City Thunder Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13380-Phoenix-Suns-at-Oklahoma-City.htm)

March 8th
I am not going to lie- I really felt last night I got the luck that deserted me in the Dallas-Utah game on Saturday as Oklahoma City went into overdrive to cover the spread by 1.5 points with a fourth quarter blowout of the Phoenix Suns.

The Thunder had really struggled for the first three quarters to get things going consistently and I figured they were unlikely to cover, but a big fourth quarter meant the picks both won thankfully.

Dallas Mavericks @ Phoenix Suns Pick: I am going to back the road team to win and cover for the following reasons:

First, Phoenix played in an emotional loss last night as they blew a decent lead to lose at the Oklahoma City Thunder and they could suffer a letdown tonight.


Second, Dallas have gone 8-0 against the spread in the last 8 games in the series between the teams, including winning all 3 games this season as well as the last 3 in Phoenix.


Third, Phoenix are 3-6 against the spread in their last 9 home games when playing on consecutive nights.


March 9th
So the Dallas Mavericks can say they are almost single-handedly responsible for my 50% strike rate so far this month as they screwed my pick for the second time in the last few days.

First they blew that game with Utah Jazz by failing to cover when leading by 19 going into the final quarter and winning by just 6 when I had them - 7.5 points.

Yesterday, they were leading by 10 with 15 minutes left to play, but proceeded to go on a 6-27 run and then missed two shots to take the game into overtime and keep the chances of the cover alive. I am done with the Mavs until they find some consistency.

New Jersey Nets @ Charlotte Bobcats Pick: I am picking the road team to cover for the following reasons:


First, they have beaten the Bobcats twice already this season, including here last week behind Deron Williams' 57 points effort.


Second, I don't think Charlotte deserve to be a close underdog against anyone this season.


Third, New Jersey have been in decent, if not spectacular, form of late and I think they are the better team and this spread should be as high as the 4.5 points it was when they met a few days ago.


LA Lakers @ Minnesota Timberwolves Pick: I am going to continue riding the Overs in the Minnesota games here for the following reasons:


First, the last 3 meetings between the teams have gone 'Overs' including both played this season.


Second, Minnesota continue getting involved in high scoring games as their defence is not great but they have some fine three point shooters.


Third, the Overs has been popular in Lakers matches recently, going 7-3 in their last 10 games.


New York Knicks @ Milwaukee Bucks Pick: I am going to back the Milwaukee Bucks to win this game outright for the following reasons:


First, Milwaukee have been playing some really good basketball recently and have been a little unfortunate not to get the results their play has deserved. However, they continue fighting hard which shows a team that is not getting down on themselves.


Second, the Bucks are 7-1 straight up in their last 8 games against New York including a win at the Garden earlier this season.


Third, this game potentially means more to Milwaukee than it does for New York. The Bucks need to get back into the Play Off picture and face one of their potential rivals on that front, while the Knicks are facing the Philadelphia 76ers next as they look to close on the Atlantic Division leaders.


March 10th
Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13412-Indiana-Pacers-at-Miami-Heat.htm)

March 12th
New York Knicks @ Chicago Bulls Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13425-New-York-Knicks-at-Chicago-Bulls.htm)

March 13th
Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13434-Houston-Rockets-at-Oklahoma-City.htm)

March 21st
I took a few days off after going 1-2 with my last 3 picks and decided to take a breath and figure out what I was doing right/wrong. Hopefully I can end the month on form and build a healthy profit as the regular season draws to a close.

New York Knicks @ Philadelphia 76ers Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13503-New-York-Knicks-at-Philadelphia-76ers.htm)

LA Lakers @ Dallas Mavericks Pick: I am going to back another underdog in the form of the LA Lakers for the following reasons:

First, Dallas have struggled under expectations all season and are just 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games as the favourite. They are 2-5 against the spread in their last 7 as the home favourite.


Second, the Lakers have won their last 4 games against the spread as the road underdog given between 0.5 and 4.5 points.


Third, the Lakers are 4-3 against the spread when being beaten as the favourite in their previous game and I think they may already have been focused on this game when they blew their game at Houston last night.


March 22nd
Boston Celtics @ Milwaukee Bucks Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13513-Boston-Celtics-at-Milwaukee-Bucks.htm)

LA Clippers @ New Orleans Hornets Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13514-LA-Clippers-at-New-Orleans-Hornets.htm)

Memphis Grizzlies @ LA Lakers Preview (http://goonersguide.com/football-pick-13545-Memphis-Grizzlies-at-LA-Lakers.htm)

March 27th
Talk about a bad run of form... I have been really struggling over the last week and that has seen the profits fall through the floor for this month. I decided to take yesterday off from the games and, you guessed it, had 3 winners from my 4 team shortlist. Hopefully that proves to be a turning point to end the month.
