    2U on Ito +180 against Tursunov

    Tursunov shouldn't be priced at -220 against Ito - who beat Almagro 6 and 6 the other day. I'm not sure why he is considered favorite here, but he did beat Tomic...which isn't saying much these days. He served at a low clip - 52%, and won 30/33 points off his first serve but just a shade over 50% on his second. Ito has all the intangibles in his favor tonight - playing in front of a Japanese crowd with high expectations of him, and probably a world of confidence after defeating Almagro. Give me Ito. 350/630

    Think the russian is priced so high due to his recent success on the challenger circuit.He has been beating guys with as much talent as ITO, so its about right IMO.Not saying he is going to win.

    Turs is red hot. The guy has been on a mission. Look at his recent matches. He has been rolling.

    Look at the most recent history of them both. Ito is garbage. Almagro is garbage.

    Why is there a rain delay on a court with a retractable roof?

    It's Tursunov 5-4 on serve in the first. I find there to be a rather large disadvantage for players who come out of a rain or injury delay when they serve first - it's either a drop in focus/concentration of a physical thing but players seem to get broken often in this situation - hoping that's not the case here.

    Ito had all the momentum.. won 3 games in a row and was up 0-30 at 4-4, but lost the next 4 points and then the rain delay.

    Ito holds to love... great start from the delay.
