SATURDAY PLANS ......


Let us hope that the win for Urawa Reds is the sign of better things to come.


I have 2-3 football selections for today which will be online this afternoon, going to begin with today's three tennis finals where I have a view in each. So, very briefly, here we go ......


EASTBOURNE .... HENIN-MAURESMO
HERTOGENBOSCH ..... JANKOVIC -CHAKVETADZE
NOTTINGHAM ...... CLEMENT- KARLOVIC


Ok, Henin is favourite and looks in great shape and is still trying out new things and looking to improve her game, all credit to her for that. But 2.35 for Mauresmo to take a set ! That is surely too big.

This is a rematch of last year's Wimbledon final their only meeting on grass which the Frenchwoman won in 3 sets. Henin leads the h2h 7-5 in a series that has many years to run .

Jankovic was not at her best yesterday and has played a lot of tennis this season. There was some talk about minor injury concerns and with Wimbledon around the corner, she will surely not take too many chances. Chakvetadze has a 18-7 record on grass as a senior and a Wimbledon final as a junior, she looks worth a chance at a huge price.

Clement has won his two previous meetings with Karlovic on grass, including at Queen's just last week, he is a tough competitor when on form and was serving like a dream yesterday. Half way through his second set with Gasquet he was winning 100% of points on his first and over 80% on his second serve. Think the bookmakers have the wrong favourite here.

4 points Mauresmo to take a set 2.35 Pinnacle... similar on the exchanges.
2.5 points Chakvetadze 3.70 exchanges.
4.5 points Clement 2.15 Expekt/ Betfair.


Good Luck.
