Quick look at the tennis

Daily Result: £18.55

Too busy today to really get going on the trading. Decided to try and sneak in one match from the WTA Championships in Madrid but ended up on the phone amid other distractions so just levelled my position out and left it. Don't even know who won the match.

Had stuff to do in the evening so the game I picked was the first one up between Kuznetsova and Dementieva. After Dementieva's performance yesterday against Sharapova it seemed the obvious choice. In the first set yesterday Dementieva managed to get 43% of her first serves in, lost it in 27 minutes, failed to hold her serve once and served up 7 double faults (16 or 17 in the match!).

With stats like that it's no surprise the words "And it's Dementieva serving for the match" are a standing joke among traders guaranteed to strike fear into even the bravest! And so it was that I traded for the service break in the her first game and Dementieva had the good grace to serve it up.

Would have liked to have had a look at the Mauresmo match after her poor performance yesterday too but just didn't have the opportunity. Busy again tomorrow, and off out in the evening, but hoping to sneak in the Henin Hardenne v Petrova match beforehand to help keep the wedding funds ticking over.
