Sydney       @ $1.77       7/10

I am actually quite suprised at the odds we are getting here! Sydney are hard to beat at home, Carlton haven't won at the SCG in 18 years, Sydney have probably started the season a little better than Carlton, and everything leans towards a Sydney win. This is possibly my favourite bet of the round.

Result:    

West Coast @ $1.57 

Melbourne are not a good travelling team at the best of times, and having been patchy early on this season, and with West Coast showing huge improvement, I just can't see them winning this. I would even say take the $1.91 about -9.5.

 Result:    

Baghdatis                     @$1.60                  8/10

Grigor Dimitrov is avergage at best. Marcos is way more experience and can go the distance. Dimitrov wasn't tested in the 1st round playing Andreas Beck :/ and Baghdatis made quick work of Benneteau which was a great win. One interest point is that in Grigor's last 6 matches all of them have been win's or losses in stragith sets. This therefore could be an unders result either way. If Grigor doesn't get off to a good start then expect Baghdatis to roll him.

Result:    

Jarkko Nieminen                          @$2.21                           6/10

With both players struggling for form this match should come down to winning crucial games on serve. I feel Jarko can belt down a few more aces than Robin and push Robins recent poor for out from just 2 wins in the past 6 to 5 losses in his past 7.
