The Masters from ATP Toronto 2010 are over and the men's tour is now in Cincinnati where Andy Murray and Roger Federer are among the top picks to make the final.  Here are the updated odds for the top 8 favorites to win the event outright:

1.  Andy Murray +350 (7/2) SportingBet
2.  Rafael Nadal +350 (7/2) Stan James
3.  Roger Federer +400 (4/1) SportingBet
4.  Novak Djokovic +1000 (10/1) SportingBet
5.  Tomas Berdych +1600 (16/1) SportingBet
6.  David Nalbandian +1600 (16/1) Stan James
7.  Robin Soderling +1600 (16/1) SportingBet
8.  Andy Roddick +3300 (33/1) SportingBet

The draw in Cincinnati is most likely to produce the following quarterfinalists:

Rafael Nadal vs Tomas Berdych
Roger Federer vs Alexandr Dolgopolov

Robin Soderling vs David Nalbandian
Andy Murray vs Fernando Verdasco

One thing to be mindful of when making your picks is that ATP Cincinnati rarely produces a repeat champion from ATP Toronto.  The last time it happened was in 2003 when Andy Roddick won the Toronto, Cincy, and Flushing Meadows.

The reason the ATP Toronto champion does not normally succeed in Cincinnati is due to relative fatigue - he and the other finalist have been playing the most matches lately and that means they are disadvantaged.

Federer and Murray can be fully expected to make the quarters and probably the semis but by the time those late tournament matches come around they will likely be playing against much fresher opponents.

Berdych at +1600 (16/1) and David Nalbandian at +1600 (20/1) both with SportingBet are sleeper finalists and sprinkling them both at really long odds may give you a reasonable chance of hitting at really long odds as they are both under-rated.

The US Open is a different matter because nearly all of the top players will skip New Haven prior to Flushing Meadows and then all will be fresh heading into the draw but Murray's odds and Fed's odds both need to be adjusted for Cincinnati due to current fatigue .

Value recommendations: Nalbandian, Berdych, and Dolgopolov (+15000 SportingBet).
