Murray will be no match for Djokovic in Aus Open semi final today

Djokovic v Ferrer QF 2012 Australian Open

Ferrer has enjoyed the 'easiest' draw amongst the remaining mens players. And although being taken to 5 sets by Ryan Sweeting he was able to dominate in closing it out, as he did in straight sets against Machado, Chela and Gasquet.

Novak Djokovic only lost a total of 10 games in his first three matches before dropping a set to Leyton Hewitt in the round of 16.

Djokovic probably took the world 186 a little more lightly than he would normally treat a Grand Slam R16 match but there will be little chance of him coming into this quarter final anything less than 100% ready to win.

The Joker in straight sets.

N.Djokovic Wins 3-0 $1.78 (-128)

Andy Murray v Kei Nishikori Aus Open QF 2012

The diminutive Japanese that never says die, Kei Nishikori, has already done the land of the rising sun proud by making it further in a Grand Slam than any countryman before him. But the Scottish top 4 Andy Murray has looked in winning form, and more importantly, state of mind, only losing 17 games total in the three matches since his shaky first round 4 set win over plucky American Ryan Harrison.

Andy Murray to win it in straight sets today.

2012 Australian Open Womens Quarter Finals

Petra Kvitova should dispatch Sara Errani in straight sets today, and go on to win the tournament, but the $1.11 (-895) price on offer is not worth the risk of injury, illness or just a bad day from Kvitova. The games line of 18½ should be enough to take the under, with Petra capable of taking at least one set to 1 or 2 games.

In the second match today giant killer Ekaterina Makarova, who saw off tournament favorite Serena Williams in the round of 16, is sent out at $4.00 (+300) against the screamer and fellow countrywoman, Maria Sharapova.

Sharapova was far from convincing in beating Lisicki in 3 sets late last night, whilst Makarova has had an extra days rest since upsetting Williams on Monday night (local time). On top of that Makarova thrives as the underdog.



Sara Errani/Petra Kvitova Games Won Under 18½ $1.77 (-130)

Ekaterina Makarova $4.10 ( +310)  vs Maria Sharapova

Nadal v Federer Australian Open Semi Final 2012

Nadal has the wood over Federer in terms of their head to head battle in Grand Slam events, with their 2011 meeting here in Australia probably still stinging Roger. But Federer has been in scintillating form and his body is holding up to boot.

Taking Federer @ $1.69 (-145)  and total games played Over 39½ @ $1.85 (-118)
