    Why is Gulbis favored over Versasco?

    Seems like Verdasco should be the favorite, no?

    Verdasco leads in head 2 head. And was watching there precious match on YouTube, and seemed like Verdasco totally dominated him. Even though that Match was on clay. I'm still fairly new to wagering on tennis. Usually do good with the dogs.

    Well if you're new to tennis, you should know Verdasco is nutcase central. This guy can beat some of the best and lose to some of the worst. He's rightfully the underdog, because Gulbis has been pretty solid this year. I think this is Gulbis or no play. You just don't know what you're gonna get from Verdasco and hard to put $ on that.

    Plus I usually don't like going against people who have solid serves (Gulbis) on this surface, esp. if they're playing nutcases like Dasco.

    From what I've seen smart money has been going on Verdasco @ 2.3, but since I disagree I'm stayin well clear of this thing.

    Gulbis should win this. Hes determined this year and the chance is great for him to win here with federer and nadal out. Extra incentive. Verdasco is solid when motivated but i see more of an opening motivation wise for gulbis.dont get me wrong, theres still djoker, murray and bird man but, all it takes is one more upset now to the finals. I expect gulbis to win in 3-4 sets

    Verdasco is too inconsistent to bet on profitably in the long run. Been burned by him ever since I took a shine to him after his epic 5 setter against Nadal at the Aussie Open a few yrs back.

    Gulbis has played extremely well this year. Verdasco does not have as good of a serve.

    Verdasco being very impressive this match. Being helped by Gulbis who keeps smacking the ball to his bazooka of a forehand.

    Verdasco looks good so far.....I'm hoping for a change of pace for a Gulbis comeback....

    For some reason I still feel Gulbis wins.
