    blake is 2-1 head to head

    any one think this is worth a shot?

    I see value with the +8 here

    If you're looking at the head-2-head, save your money and don't bet tennis. Matches are all outdated and only one is on the surface that they are playing on today - but that was six years ago. Just look at recent form if the head-2-head isn't within the last year or so and doesn't include any matches on the surface they are playing on.

    Recent form + how they do on clay will tell you what you need to know and in this case, seems fairly straight forward.

    agree with you...thats why i think that blake +8 is worth a shot here given blake recently won the US Men's Clay Court Championships last month..

    Blake won the doubles title with Querey, bro ... much different from winning a singles title on the ATP circuit.

    Blake has barely won a few matches all-year due to his comeback from injuries. 3-6 overall and he got murdered by Stepanek in Dusseldorf last week. I'd save your money personally. Maybe a chance he keeps it competitive, but he hasn't looked ready to play tough against anyone on any surface ... nevermind clay which is his worst.
