Just call me Mr.French for Tuesday.
Chardy -150 (Acasuso)
Chardy usually isn't exactly great on dirt, but he gained some confidence last week in Rome with a few wins before falling to the eventual champ, Tomas Berdych in 3. Acasuso normally would be a solid play on clay, but he's 3-7 in his last 10 and has lost 4 of 5 matches since withdrawing from a tournament back in March with a back problem. Could still be problematic for him. Chardy's serve is the key. If it's on, he should handle Acasuso.
Benneteau +150 (Karlovic)
Benneteau has little-to-no form, but he does know how to beat the big man, having won their last 2 encounters - including one on the Croat's preferred hard surface. Karlovic is his usual self. If his serve is on, it's up to his opponent to control his own service game and hope he cracks in the tie break. But if Ivo cracks at all in his serve, he's meat. Benneteau despite his form is a good price here I think.
