    Dogs barkin' loud

    Krajicek looks tempting at these odds. He played some decent tennis on this level, since the start of the season, despite being more or less challenger level player before. I like him here, mostly because Istomin is garbage lately. He was unreliable and inconsistant before, but lately it got eeven worst and he is simply bad. I don't really know what's his deal. He seems to have all the tools to be much more succsesful then he is, but never really got over the hump. Going from talented player to a good one. I think his problem might be coach. He is coached by his mom since the start of his career and I believe that change would be great for him, but he doesn't share that thought obviously.

    Schwartzman also looks decent here. He is probably such a big dog, because he is considered as clay court specialist, which isn't fully true imho. He can give a good effort on hard as well, espcially on such slower bouncy ones, like in IW. With Jerzy, you never really know what you are getting and he never really thrived on outdoor hard.

    Be carefull, don't turn a blind eye to the court speeds... Krajicek has played well on the fast indoor hardcourts and the medium to fast Hardcourt in AUS... Krajicek may have a great year but this slow HARDCOURT with throw rythm bashers out of wack. Krajicek likes that crosscourt winner... That will be a more difficult shot here

    Definitely aware of it. I just thought that both guys are not too excited about this slow surface. So, no big edge for Istomin there (imho).

    Yeah I agree as well. When I saw he was facing Istomin, that's very winnable

    Watch out for Krajicek. Even though he's playing good ball, I still can't get James McGee almost double bageling him on a slower hard court not too long ago. I watched that match and he looked helpless in longer rallies.

    He's turned the corner since then though. I don't know what to think.

    Istomin is playing like garbage ATM, but he's beaten some good players here like Pospisil, Ferrer and Chela.

    Skipping this one. BOL.

    These courts should not fit either one of those players. Both are unpredictable as f*ck, and Yoshi's current state is unknown to boot!

    These courts play better for the dirt ballets, Hanescu looks motivated. Youhzny likes the faster hardcourts, preferably towards the middle-end of the season. Youhzny has the skill set to Winn and play well but I think he's too rusty. Decent value on the romanian

    Jerzy bussines as usual. Just what I expected.

    Fell asleep before Krajicek match. Looking at the scoreline, it seems first set was quite close. Anybody saw the match?

    Čorić +2.5 looking good. He was inconsistant lately. Lossing (or being close) to guys far below his level. I'd say it is difficult to keep motivation and focus in those matches, right after you destroyed Andy Murray and played against Federer. Still, I believe he will not have that problem against Tomić. I like the matchup a lot on this surface. Bernard will not get enough penetration on this surface with his flat groundies, while Borna is able to grind it out from behind the baseline and run down everything.

    The first few seconds, I suppose. Besides, it sounds good and has some solid lyrics for a rap track.

    Lauren Davis @2.30. Jankovic obviously set as a favorite, just because her name ment something in the past. So far this season she was really struggling. She was recovering after back injury and she isn't the same. She was also bit overweight, but it seems she managed to get in shape. In one interview, she complained about lossing her biggest weapon - her backhand. It's not as efective as it was and she is not so confident in her game now. I really don't see as favorite here, especially against Davis, whhich I like as a player.
