All of his losses last year came early in tournaments against unexpected opponents so I am going to wait a couple of rounds first to see how everyone has come back.

If he gets through to the 3rd round unscathed I will back him every match from there on out rolloing my winnings over. I figure you will get a better price that way becuase he should play people like Hewitt, Roddick or Safin in the semis and final and the bookies usually have him around $1.30 when he plays those guys.

If it works out that way you will get odds of around $1.69 for those two matches plus the $1.05 to $1.15 you will get for his 3rd, 4th and QF matches. So if my calculations are correct your price would end up around $1.95 - $2.20.

Here's hoping that's the way it works out anyway!!
