ATP Liberec Challenger~
Here we have two players in good form and bookies are a little confused as to which man should be the favorite...Arthur holds the h2h 2-0 including a FINAL win over Sousa this year. He is 1 of 4 other Belgians in the QF as well...Both are almost exclusively clay players. Coin flip right? Both players are suspect on the serve and I expect to see one of these men get the best of the other...
UNDER 22.5 @1.76
Bellotti has been on a tear winning 3 straight futures but Joris may provide his stiffest competition yet. I feel his streak is over.
De Loore @1.40
Germain will be playing his 6th match of the tournament here. He made quick work of most and has yet to drop a set. Conversely, Safranek has battled in both his matches taking a 3rd set as the underdog. Some value on the OVER as Vaclav will be playing hard in front of the fans.
Over 21.5 @1.72
Darcis made quick work of a Melzer past his best before date. Bourgue has been suspect on serve and I like Darcis' ability to extend points forcing his opponent into mistakes. Another likely Belgian in the final.
Darcis 2-0 @2.00
WTA NANCHANG / Jiangxi~
Eguchi @1.66 is no value to me given how well Liu has been lately. Home girl with the h2h.
Liu to win first set @2.00
King has played tougher opponents and gets better throughout the match. She looks fresh and will exploit Zhangs weak serve.
King 2-0 @1.83
A match with two woman outside the top 100 but looking in...The old Italian was once a standard on clay but has not gotten past the 3rd round since she won Rio however I still like her chances here as the dog...Risa is rising but not nearly as talented on clay...
Give me Francesca @2.00
BONUS WTA~
I have this pick in the Florianopolis thread explained further.
I am backing Begu @1.80
ATP ATLANTA~
Isner is the no1 seed and likely on a path to the final. Fritz is another young American who is ranked a little higher than he should be tbh. Isner showed us he is fine in that last match and will take it to Fritz who may be concealing a knee injury...
Isner 2-0 @1.66
The 18 yr old served up 20 aces in the match of his career and will be bursting with confidence. Hes shown grit and I think there is value to back him to atleast take a set to tie break.
Opelka +3.5 @1.83
Give me Nishi 2.0 @1.66 on hard court.
Nick got past Donaldson but had he lost that 1st set tiebreak who knows...At 32 Verdasco is proving he can still be a match for top 20 players and their last match was really close. Knowing this I still believe Kyrgios can motivate himself to the SF in style...
2-0 Nick Kyrgios @2.10
That is all the matches...good luck to all of you.
