The early stages of the 2009 ATP 1000 Masters Tournament in Miami.

During these early stages I find it best to place combo bets (doubles or trebles) rather then go and place bigger bets on one particular match.

Today's combo consists of two matches.  Jose Acasuso vs Janko Tipsarevic and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez vs Andreas Seppi.

Jose Acasuso vs Janko Tipsarevic
Pick : J. Tipsarevic win
Odds: 1.53

Jose Acasuso is more of a clay court player.He is tall and has a great serve, but so does Janko Tipsarevic which is a more consitent player on these types of courts where having a big serve and consistent ground strokes can bring you the Win.My only worry would be that Tipsarevic hasn't played to much tennis lately, but looking at the qualities the tow players have, I can only go with a Tipsarevic win here.

Guillermo Garcia-Lopez  vs Andreas Seppi
Pick: A. Seppi win
Odds: 1.44

Now, this isn't the best bet in the world, but again we have a case in which one player is more of a clay court player, and that is Garcia-Lopez, while Seppi, is a more consistent player on the hard courts.So, although the odds aren't that great I can only choose one possible outcome for this match, and that is, A. Seppi to win.

Total Odds: 2.20

Small stakes.
