Events / Sean Calvert / 16 March 2010 /

We're into the third round at Indian Wells today and Sean Calvert believes Andy Murray can ease his way into the fourth. Rusty Roger Federer might have a tougher time though.

It was an up and down day at Indian Wells yesterday with one winner and one loser, but those of you watching the Djokovic v Kohlschreiber match must have enjoyed that one.

Not only did the Serbian perform exactly as predicted, but the braver punters cashed in big time, as the German, who started at [5.0], traded as low as [1.13] after having several match points.

On to Tuesday's remaining third round matches now and Andy Murray takes to the court against the dogged, but limited American Michael Russell. I cant see anything other than a 2-0 Murray win here, but at around [1.22] you won't be retiring on the profits from this one.

The Scot is just one of a plethora of very short priced favourites today and of all of these the one to take on would have to be Roger Federer.
Fed struggled against the basic skills of Victor Hanescu and dropped a set against the Romanian, so a repeat of that form against Marcos Baghdatis could spell trouble for the Swiss.

I'm not convinced that the Cypriot will take Fed out at [8.2], but he might well nick a set, as he has done before against the world number one, so a lay of a rusty Federer to win 2-0 at [1.36] could pay off.

Elsewhere, Dudi Sela is not one to rely on by any stretch of the imagination, but he is worth backing at [2.22] against Tommy Robredo. The Israeli has beaten Robredo all three times they've met and the Spaniard has had a poor year so far and not made it past the second round of any Tour level event in 2010.

Sela's high risk hitting has punched right through Robredo's defences in the past and it will again if Sela's in the mood. At [2.14] it's worth chancing that he is.
