Indian Wells Qualifying - Yani $3.70 to Bring Matosevic Back To Earth

Matosevic is an Aussie journeyman who had a breakout tournament, and made his first ATP final on Sunday. After upsetting Alex Bogomolov Jr. he had a gift run in that tourney, and most pundits were surprised with just how far he did go. I doubt he has ever started an ATP match at a price this short before, and has rarely started as a fave in an ATP match before last week.

Yani is on about the same level really. Challenger standard… but he has beaten better players than Mato recently and I think for +270 you are getting good odds on a toss of a coin match where there is a decent chance Matosevic will have a come down loss.

Young Gun Parlay: Raonic + Nishikori

Kei Nishikori came through his debut match in Buenos Aires against Florian Mayer with a solid 3 set win as the big under dog. Today against Henescu he comes in as a big favorite, and should take care of the Romanian journeyman in quick order today.

In Memphis, last week's San Jose champion, Milos Raonic, will take on Ernest Gulbis who although is capable on his day, has been in awful form since the second half of last year. His only wins since October have come against lowly ranked Egypt in Davis Cup 2 weeks ago.

Kei Nishikori -225 vs Victor Hanescu
Milos Raonic -440 vs Ernests Gulbis 

Parlayed for $1.73 (-130) at 5 Dimes

Good luck!
