Favourites dropping like flies in Bastad for the first 3 days...will this trend continue?

4 matches scheduled for tomorrow and the one I will definitely stay away from is Carreno Busta - Lorenzi. Other matches are interesting in my opinion...

Ramos - Verdasco

Ramos qualified for the event dropping 1 set. He outclassed Vesely who has been in very solid form throughout the season. Verdasco is last year's finalist here so he has some points do defend. But does he care much? Ramos has beaten him once before in their only meeting on clay in Sao Paulo in straight sets. Verdasco won the other two matches on different surfaces. Odds on Ramos are around 2.50, Verdaco 1.55.

What is your prediction on this match?


Ferrer - Hanescu

If I remember correctly Ferrer had some problems with minor injuries in Wimbledon. He hasn't played here or other events in this calendar week last year. Hanescu has overcomed Andujar in straight sets in 1st round. I don't think that he can beat Ferrer of course, but can he cover the +5.5 spread? The price is pretty generous at 2.04...Last time they met in Oeiras on clay and the score was 6-4 7-6.

Will Hanescu create some problems for Ferrer again?


Albot - Berlocq

Another qualifier playing against last year's winner. I didn't see any of their matches in first round, but I remember seeing Berlocq having a medical time-out early in the first set? Anyway odds on Albot at are whooping 6.60 at the moment, but probably for a good reason

Is it worth taking a small shot with Albot at this great price?
