After getting Klaasen today @ +300 its time to look on some more matches..

pick 1: Victor Troicki to win 2-0 against M.Kukushkin @ 1.72 BET365

Troicki just loves these fast indoor conditions in Zagreb, and had a very easy 1st round against Schuettler. Has a 2-0 h2h record against Kukushki winning 4/5 sets., that also enjoys indoor, but its mainly a challenger player, not ATP. He beat Zverev in first round, but Zverev struggled with injuries and its very insconsistent with his leftie when out of form, so unforced errors were flowing. Expekt Troicki to take an easy win today.

pick 2: Rajeev Ram to win against B. Phau @ 2.11 Pinnaclesports

Really cant see why Phau is a favorite in this matchup. He is coming straight from indoor conditions without wind, to total different outdoor conditions. He beat the unknown Wolmarans in first round, but had a bit of a struggle. Ram took out the homefavorite de Voest, very solid after dropping a first set tiebreak. I just rate Ram a much better player at the moment, both regarding potential and form. Ram to win.


Thats all so far.

Van der Merve to beat S. Robert @ 2.75 Expekt (closing in 20 min)

Home favorite against a frenchman that seldom produces any spectacular results. Should be much tighter than odds indicating.

Roberts - Merve 76 30

Merve had 6 chance.es to break first set, but could not convert, Roberts none. Additionally Merve lost 3 setpoints I believe. Roberts converted on his first chance in 2nd set.

[diamond]

Wouldnt be surprised if this goes 06 in 2nd set. lower ranked players tend to blow up after loosing that many chances.

Troicki won 2-0.

Adding:

Raven Klaasen to beat Lu in ATP Johannesburg @ 3.40 Ladbrokes

Klaasen is the only South African left in this tournament, and was impressive against Guez in first round, then as an even bigger dog. Lu took out the always inconsistent Nieminen, so not putting alot into that performance. Lu will manage to get a lot of balls back in play due to his quick feet and strength in movement, but Klaasen need to stay high on his 1. % serve to be able to put some pressure. Odds seem way too high, on a player certain to be backed by the crowd.
