Mannarino

Parlay play for consideration:

Monaco x Monfils x Open spot (played OKC Thunder ML earlier)

Not too concerned about Gael's hip. Watched the tumble on Youtube and while it looked a tad painful, he was getting pwned by Birdman at that point anyway (who seems to pwn him on the regular).

Monaco an accomplished clay-courter in what I would judge as fine overall-form, against a significantly less impressive Vesely.

Was going to have a play as well but decided to sit out. Granoellers has been crapola and even moreso of it on clay but he could get out of his slump in any game even against someone who has been alright like Mannarino. Odds are about right for the matchup.

Sitting it out as well. Played the parlay since no one talked me out of it in time, at mild + odds.

Yeah both should win straight up, and Monaco should cover the line. Monfils should win too but ill see how he plays before taking him in a handicap play.

Weird, Marathonbet has Granollers at 2.77 right now when others have him at max 2.4. Might be too good odds to pass.

Ok nvm it went down by 30 cents.

Marathonbet likes to always make the dog higher priced to try and get action sometimes.

Granollers is not someone you can bet on at the moment. Been injured for some time now and he is a day to day player with his injury issues.
Mannarino on the other hand surprisingly has a pretty poor clay record despite his playing style being quite suited to clay. I think his record on clay will improve from here on in as his backhand use to be a weakness but now you could say it is his strength so I am expecting his clay record to get much better now.

Have to stop reading this forum. Too much influence on my opinion. Usually I change the winner to a loser upon reading some spot-on posts.

Mannarino's style does not suit clay. He's capable, but his style is much more a hard court style. He is a pusher, not a counter puncher at all.

Maybe Sharps would back Granoellers but those odds aren't even tempting at his form. But surprised at the score but honestly wouldn't touch it if I had my time again.

Not quite sure it was a 'trap line' after all judging by all your input, but definitely glad to see my Spidey-sense is tingling at the right times.

Glad for all the contributions and pleased to see Monaco and Monfils come through!
