Juan Martin Del Potro was our other pick for the title and he was one of several players to retire injured. However, Davydenko came through a relatively easy section of the draw before beating Novak Djokovic and Rafeal Nadal in the semis and final to return at 21.0 e/w. This would have given a £140 profit from a level £10 stake on Del Potro and £5 e/w on Davydenko.

Our match previews got off to an excellent start last week and finished with a profit of 22% from 11 calls with six wins, one push, three losses, and one half-win and half-loss. Level £10 stakes (or split £5 stakes where recommended) would have yielded a profit of £24.10.
