READEROFTHEGAME's BET OF THE TOURNAMENT..................!!!!!!!!!!
Ignore this one @ your peril. I have one or two of these every slam. The US Open it was Errani to poop all over Vinci and @ this one it's Benjamin to poop all over Aljaz, but in dariah pooping fashion.
Benjamin always performs to his ability on the big stage, this is the big stage and he has 20 x the ability Bedene has.
Better more consistent server, better power through hitter, absolute thumping groundstrokes and much more solid @ the net too.
Bedene's a mediocre player, impressive forehand albeit, nothing much else there, can throw in the odd good serve, backhand is non-existent and he really doesn't play the big points well.
These odds are as generous for one reason and one reason alone. Aljaz beat Wawrinka in an extremely tight 2 sets a week or so ago and the traders including people also have suddenly labelled him good.
Becker's record @ the Aussie Open isn't great but that's because he's ran into Safin, Djokovic and co over the last few years. Losing out in 5 sets to some reason top names, bearing Djokovic who he went out to in straights.
Benjamin Becker to beat Aljaz Bedene in the first round of the Australian Open @ 2.20 with Ladbrokes or 2.18 with Pinnacle X 5
