Welcome to the Brisbane night session live coverage! Two big matches on tonight as Roger Federer takes on Jarkko Nieminen, followed by Aussie Casey Dellacqua vs Victoria Azarenka on Pat Rafter Arena. It promises to be a great night of tennis, so feel free to get involved in the discussion.

Tonight’s Best Bets

Victoria Azarenka -6.5 games at $1.88 at Pinnacle (for the Aussies, $1.84 at Topsport) – 80% confidence

For those who prefer a shorter odds, higher confidence selection, Casey Dellacqua under 3.5 games first set at $1.62 at Sportsbet.

This game total is in the $1.60’s or low $1.70’s almost everywhere else. Cast an eye over the previous meetings of these two and you will see it is generally incredibly one-sided. In 6 sets in their 3 previous meetings, Casey has never won more than 2 games. In her on-court interview after her first round win, you could tell there was a lack of confidence for Casey against Azarenka, and she did refer to the 6-1 6-0 drubbing at the Australian Open in 2012.
