Jerzy -550 (he should beat Kyle Edmund!)
Gulbis -400 (ERV is not a bad player, but if Gulbis plays his good game, he wins)
Monaco -400 (scares me a little though, I hate this guy period, he should beat Knittell!)
Benny -370 (Kamke can be tough, be the little guy should not be beating a Benny in best of 5!)
Cilic -550 (Bags looked horrible last match, would be a monster upset, can't see it happening)
Youz -800 (Youz has looked great on grass, wow, he should beat stick man Haase-hate that guy too!)
Small favs I like:
Wawa -150 (I know Hewitt beat DP, but this would be another big upset if LH won, Wawa really needs to win this match IMO)
Rosol -210 (Reister has not done shiit lately, playing 2 tments since April 29th and ALL of his tments since JANUARY have been CLAY tments in CHALLANGERS! Not 1 hard court match since Jan 2013 and NO grass matches, how the HELL is he going to even compete on this surface??? He will, but going from outdoor CLAY Challangers ALL year & only 2 matches in 2 months, both clay Challangers & now he is ready for Wimbledon??? No fing way, this could be a big big play for me tomm!!!)
DeScheeper -180 (Lorenzi can be way off I have seen personally! This could be a good good match, leaning to DeSch with recent form)
Kuznetsov -225 (Montanes is a pure clay courter, he will struggle on grass I think. The 2 handed backhand for Kuz should be much better & he should win this match IMO!)
Pospisil -140 (I don't get this line, freaking Gicquel is almost 40 years old & plays clay! Pop serves well tomm, he wins easy IMO, Gicquel with ZERO wins on hard or other than Challanger Clay!)
Dogs that might bark:
Donskoy +270 (Isner return game is horrid!!! He just beat Isner, tough in 5 sets, but if he breaks John at all, watch out!!!)
Andujar +270 (Mannarino is crap, so is Andujar, but this a battle of the doo doo's, both suck on grass BIGTIME IMO!)
Rufin +100 (Matosevic is average, and I mean just average, Rufin will have a chance here no doubt)
Lacko +110 (Ram has done ZERO this year for singles, his serve will hold him in awhile here, maybe!, but IF Lacko returns well, he wins!!!)
Triocki +185 (he is not a bad player at all, little head crazy, but if he serves good, he will be right in this match vs Tips, should be +250 or more IMO, but books not trusting Tips I guess)
Ward +190 (isn't there always a English guy who gets thru first round and second usually??? Lu is average, but nothing spectacular. I expect Ward to be right in this one, possibly write that story again & move into the second round)
