White/Labanauskas - Darius seems to have shortened from when I had a look at this yesterday, given Derrick wanted to bet that way. It actually projects a bit closer than I thought it would, and the line of Labanauskas 11/8 actually looks fair enough.
Cross/Ratajski - This should be a good one after Rob got a result that will surely restore some confidence. That said, he still comes in as an underdog, albeit a very small one. Again, the line looks fair enough, this feels about 55/45 in favour of Ratajski.
Noppert/van der Voort - Danny's not going to get a better chance to get to a ranking quarter final than this, and the market sees it as bang on 60/40. This looks about right to me as well, sadly, I was wondering if Vincent was under the radar enough in 2021 and Danny might have finally got a big boost to his perceived value that we could have snuck in a VVDV bet. Alas not.
de Sousa/Clayton - This is a real spicy one and whoever wins this will surely be a huge favourite to reach a major ranking final, the bookies have Clayton as the slight favourite. I'm not sure why Jose is 11/10, he is scoring a tiny bit better, and I'm wondering if I have the edge to bet on de Sousa here. It's incredibly close. If it was 5/4 I'd probably punt without hesitation. Heck, seeing Jose as about a 56-57% favourite is close to enough with the line we have, especially given Jonny's up and down recent form. I think the first round performances are just enough for me to say sit on the fence and enjoy a match between two of the top five players in the world. I guess if you have an odds boost then use it?
