    I'd agree that playing conditions suit Delbonis here and that he could build his game around that top spin forehand. But for me the real quiestion is, how much will he be able to use it? Against Ivo, there will definitely not be many baseline rallies. Many points with 3 shots or less. Serve, return and being mentally strong during break points are the keys for delbonis, if he wants to go the distance here.
    Not sure if those are his strenghts, so hopefully, Ivo continues with his mediocre performances. Good luck!

    edit: Line movement indicating that delbonis is the play here.

    First of all thanks for your interest. There isn't an exact time for the articles to be published, because it will always depend on the time the matches end, the time the bookmakers take to provide the lines, time to analyze the matches and time to produce the articles.

    However, every article is shared here so the best idea will be to keep an eye on SBR forum.

    The main idea with these articles is not to give one exact bet, sure that we sometimes point one specific bet, but the goal is to give valuable information that might result in value bets. Saying that "Player X is overrated, however he's a slow starter while player Y is known for his inconsistency", might be a much better insight then saying just one bet.

    For that reason we don't keep a track on the matches where we indicate a certain bet because the work and purpose goes much beyond that.

    guys come on, muller against fognini really can't be the top play, if fognini shows up, he will win in max. 4 sets

    That Bautista collapse against Klizan is exactly why I don't trust him with big lines. Sure he didnt look like missing a beat in the first two sets and looked like he had carried his form over from NZ but his inconsistency says otherwise.
    He should beat Lajovic in three sets but then again he should have beaten Klizan in three sets as well some may say heh...

    For sure he should have closed the match earlier against Klizan, however the Slovakian is also an extremely dangerous player. Martin is able to produce an outstanding level of tennis with his blistering forehand. On the other hand, Lajovic groundstrokes can't cause much problems to Agut.

    Yeah I think Bautista will target the backhand hard the way other players do. And yeah Klizan has showed sprinkles of what he's capable of on the tour against some of the bigger names.
    I like Bautista but like Robredo an inconsistent player at times, BOL either way hope it gets up for you

    How do you feel about Kerbers margin for error on her ground strokes? Also, why do you think Kontas stronger stroke is her forehand? After watching her through the tourney she seems to have a backhand as good as anyone else playing in the WTA.

    Kerber's backhand is clearly her most reliable shot, she can handle an outstanding pace with the backhand and we saw that in her previous match against Azarenka. On the other side, her forehand is not so solid, but she can fire some outstanding forehand down the line. If we loot at her baseline numbers throughout the tournament, she made 78 winners and 88 unforced errors with her groundstrokes. 69.23% of her winners were with her forehand while 59.09% of the unforced errors were also from the forehand side. The best way to attack Kerber is to go for her forehand, however there's always the possibility that she fires some remarkable shots, but overall she's not so strong on that side.


    About Konta, her backhand is very solid, she can keep a good pace on the baseline rallies and hit some great shots as well. Don't misunderstand me, I consider Konta's backhand as a very reliable shot too, but when she goes for the winner she does it with more often with the forehand. Looking at Konta's numbers on this event from the baseline, she made 69 winners and 105 unforced errors, with 55.07% of her winners with the forehand and 50.47% unforced errors with the forehand. What I most like about Konta's forehand is her one-two combination, with a strong serve and going then for the winner with a good forehand.

    Konta's forehand is more prone to errors though. The most important thing for the match will be Konta's serve, I think. If she can serve well and Kerber does read her serve, it might become pretty interesting.

    Konta hasn't played anyone like Kerber in my opinion.
    And Angelique won like 4 titles last year
    I think the brit's run ends here

    It's true that her forehand is relatively less steady, but it's much more of a weapon IMO.

    I agree that Johanna's forehand is the most prone shot to commit errors, but is also the best shot for her to overplay Kerber from the baseline

    I was thinking about this today. When you bet against Serena you're never really betting on the other girls skills at all, at least, I'm not. You're always betting that Serena will have a below average day in some way shape or form. Literally trying to guess if she will care or not the day of the game. Hoping she wakes up feeling tired of bothered about something off the court.

    I do wish that she had made a better choice for her outfit this year. Not digging the yellow 2 piece.
