Day 1
Vesely ML vs Rosol 2.9 @ pinnacle
1unit
Rosol has been more or less on fire and would be senseless to pick against him, specifically on such a struggling player as Vesely right now is.
But my thought here is that Rosol will simply drop his level significantly and Vesely on th eother hand will play better. That is what happens with these top50 players - they tend to rise and fall in loops and Rosol is certainly one of such. But don't put a lot in this as it depends on Vesely more that on Rosol. If he'll keep sucking badly, Rosol will sneak in the next round.
Paire ML vs Dodig 2.1 @ pinnacle
1unit
Almost similar story here, just that the better player has been out of form, and Dodig looks convincing. But here I think Paire will be motivated to give all he can, as this is not any cheap tourney.
Dodig gets a lot of respect here because of his indoor palying ability.
Istomin +1.5 Sets vs Cilic 2.9 @ pinnacle
1unit
Being on such a rough patch Istomin faces seeminlgy worst possible opponent in Marin Cilic. But then again Cilic himself has been looking quite average to say the least. Loss to Zverev proves that he has not found his game yet and he's one of those players that plays better whn getting in later stages of the tourns. So this 1st round can be again tricky for him and 1 set can be lost easily.
