Tennis - Qatar Open - Andreev E/W - 40-1

The prices for the Qatar Open (starts at 12:30 today) have, correctly, Rodger Feder as strong favourite (1-3). His 81-4 record is outstanding and he is a great player on the hard courts (such as in Qatar).

However, this actually provides betting opportunities by backing players E/W (1/3 odds, 1-2) in the opposite (bottom) half of the draw. The bottom half is relatively open - Davydenko (8-1) and Grosjean (18-1) are perfectly possible winners of this 1/2. However, and I'm going for Andreev @ 40-1 E/W (Ladbrokes).

The win portion of the bet isn't dead - it is not impossible for Gasquet to beat Federer in the Semi Final in the top 1/2 of the draw.

I'm having 2pts E/W on Andreev.
