Nieminen -2 v Thiem odd line?

Nieminen said he was physically tired last tournament so the books are taking that into account.

I would prob just leave it since it could go either way.

Nieminem almost lost to Kytrovski in their Davis Cup match last week. Kutrovski is outside top 450 in the world.

Niemo won both DC matches he played in last week. I would think as stated that perceived workload for Niemo is the question mark and reason for a lower line. Thiem is talented, but Niemo is under rated on this surface IMO. He's had a little rest from last week, played dubs in Rotterdam, while Thiem made it through qualis ... all those things being equal, if you think it's fishy - skip it. If you think you should bang it, do it.

Thanks for the responses all. Think it's worth a pound.

Hoping for a similar result as last year - went to the semis in france, took a set off the tourney winner, then came over here and 6-0 6-0'd first round. Course that was probably stronger competition in France last year.
