    Goffin and Monfils is a close match,
    Monfils had some issues with his knee, was not well at wmbledon
    ANd has played a few matches may be tired
    The concern for this match is Monfils serve

    Kasatkina and vinci I think will go to a third set

    2-3 today for a profit of +3.58 units, could have made a handsome amount if all those 3-set matches went our way but I'll take it. Suck it GB, I'll keep rolling with my underdogs tomorrow.

    ^ Realized I made a mistake above, yesterday's record was 1-3 but it should only work out to a loss of -1.5 units. Will start keeping a cumulative tally so things stay on track going forward.

    Overall: 3-6, +2.08 units

    Just one play for tomorrow in the Montreal. Both ladies look solid thus far, the line should be much closer than it is.

    WTA Montreal:
    Kerber @ 2.51

    Tough loss today, thought Kerber was going to complete the comeback but Halep didn't fade. Keys will be a tough matchup tomorrow, as she has one of the most powerful strokes on the tour right now and she'll be more fresh than Halep.

    Adding:
    Keys @ 2.59

    Basically a wash for the week. Going to keep an eye on all the tournaments starting tomorrow, and the plays will begin after the first round is complete.

    Thought about that game myself, but decided to stay away in the end. Smyczek was around $1.40 though?

    True, but Donald wasn't exactly great either. Donald may still be the rightful favorite for tomorrow, but I think the odds are a bit skewed.

    This is for his 2nd round match vs. Donald Young.

    I like Smyczek very much too. Grabbed yesterday Smyczek + 4,5 @1,87 and the ml for 3,40.

    Smyczek are 7-3 vs. Young in the h2hs. I saw the game from Smyczek vs. Monteiro. Monteiro was playing very good and strong. I think the result scares a bit. Young had also "trouble" in the first game, but werent watching.

    I believe the problem for Young in the match up vs. Smyczek are the good two handed backhand from Smyczek which he hits wide into the court, this is no good match up as a leftie. Smyczek had also a good game vs. Nadal in the AO 2015, which he lost close 3-2. Smyczek peformes very well vs. lefties where orbit the backhand often. Furthermore Smyczek played in the first round also a leftie with Monteiro, can be a pro point too.

    Smyczek was up with a set (6-4) and 3-0 (double break) in the second, what a shame

    Just an update on my record, still in the negatives but no need to tilt here. Came close with a few big dog plays and they will eventually start hitting at a rate that will generate a positive return. Pending two plays in WTA Nanchang as we speak, might make a play for Atlanta later.

    Love Kokkinakis bet... playing a clay court specialist... Thanasi coming off a 10 month injury lay off but has been targeting Olympics return... He is top 15 talent and should overwhelm his opponent.

    Seems we both got f*cked over by Berankis haha. Would have to disagree re. Kokkinakis though. If Kokkinakis was fit, there would be no question, but he hasn't played a match since October of last year. I'm surprised he's not like $3 or more, regardless of how bad Elias is on hard.

    good call on Kokk bud. I thought he'd be in good enough form to take down Elias but nope. Berankis goof'd hard today. A couple of impressive wins by the Chinese sloots today, those girls always seem to go hard for the Olys but too bad I didn't play.

    Adding a couple of plays here, will update the R1 results after tomorrow's matches.

    Men's R1: Lorenzi @ 3.52
    Women's R2: Errani @ 2.66

    Adding a live play in the 3rd set: Opelka @ 4.58

    This match has been extremely tight, two guys with identical styles. With the current scoreline there's no way the odds should be this lopsided.
