Matchups, commentary and plays for the 2nd round.
Wawrinka vs. Coric
Wawrinka did not finish the year strong last year. It'll be interesting to see if he comes out fresh in 2015 as he did in 2014. Either way, Coric is a live dog here, I like him at 3.00 and will look at the spread/total as well once my book has it up.
Ymer vs Muller
Spread looks about right here. Ymer is an interesting youngster, and Muller really had a tough time putting away Roger-Vasselin, but I'm not sure if there's enough value in Ymer to take him SU even at 3.75. Gun to my head, the dog would be my pick.
Goffin vs Berankis
Spread looks spot on to me. If Goffin comes out fresh and prepared he should take care of business in straight sets. But I wouldn't be excited to lay that much juice in his first match of the year coming off a bye in the first round. NO PLAY
Vesely vs Haider-Maurer
Before the first round I would have put these players at a pick'em. However, Vesely made quick work of a qualifier in the first round while Maurer fought his way to a W via a retirement by Granollers. Haider-Maurer ML for a small play and will look at the spread as well.
Lu vs Carreno Busta
Both players looked sharp in the first round. Should be a good match. On clay I would give the edge/value to Busta but on hard I've got to think Lu takes care of business. Again, don't have lines, but looking to take Lu on the Game Line.
Gojowzyk vs Bautista Agut
I like the matchup for Gojowczyk here as he plays well on hard court and Bautista Agut is a master on clay. That said, it will be a small play for me as Gojowczyk did not have much success vs players in the top 50 last season.
Garcia-Lopez vs Ito
This is my favorite pick of the round. Garcie-Lopez tends to underperform on hard courts and Ito excels on them. The line also gives me a lot of confidence that this will be a close match. ITO ML @ 2.37.
Bedene vs Lopez
This one looks about right to me as well. I don't see any reason Lopez doesn't take care of business, but as with several other players he is coming of a bye, early in the season, so I wouldn't look to try to do much with a spread or total bet. NO PLAY.
