West Coast + 35          @$1.62            8/10

This match is epic. West Coast is playing for a top 4 spot, which is crucial for interstate clubs. I can't see it being a blow out either way and coming off a very comprehensive win against the Pies, 35 points is too good to give up.

Gold Coast Suns          @$1.50         8/10

With the losses of Callan Ward, Dean Brogan, Toby Greene, Taylor Adams, Jonathan Patton & Sam Frost (and some pretty average ins), GWS are depleted. Gary Ablett has been tearing it up recently and Harley Bennell has been giving the Suns some great run. With the match being at home and the Suns needing to win to try and push them away from the wooden spoon, I would expect the Suns to get it done here. 

Vera Zvonareva        @$2.20         7/10

I have a lot of respect for Mona Barthel, as she has some heavy and consistent ground strokes. The problem is, she meets one of the best hitters on the WTA. I honestly have no idea why Barthel is favourite for this match-up. Vera is the 12th ranked player in the world and Mona is unseeded for the tournament and 39th overall. I even think Vera will knock of Clijsters in the 2nd round.  

Arantxa Rus to win 1 set      @1.52           8/10

There's no question Rus is the better of these two players. H2H however they're 1-1 and Doi has managed to make her way into the main draw through qualifications. I can't quite work out why Rus is the favourite in this match-up, but to be safe, let's just take Rus to win a set.
