    Aussie Open 2018

    I'm 0-2 (both women's bets) so far this year. Here's hoping I'll do a bit better with the men.

    Gunneswaran +3 over Kamke
    Kamke has been struggling with the lower ranked opponents. Gunny has played well even in defeat.

    Kolar -121 over Uchiyama
    Kolar has played well in his 2 recent defeats. Uchiyama has played like trash.

    Ellis +4 1/2 over Kozlov
    Ellis beat King lately and has given recent opponents a good match.

    Safranek +100 over Olivo
    Olivo has been playing like trash and may even be playing hurt. Safranek has played well even in his defeats.

    Thanks KP. I always enjoy reading your picks and your comments on my picks.

    3-1 for the early matches. I don't know what happened to Gunny. He won the first set. I thought he was on his way to covering this.

    Can't believe Novikov won after losing 6 straight.

    Debated on going with a ML parlay with these 2 but decided to take them on the handicap instead.

    Hanfmann -2 over Kozlov
    Kozlov had problems with Ellis yesterday and has had problems with much lesser opponents.
    Hanfmann has played well against top-100 players.

    Berrettini -2.5 over Hurkacz
    Kiddpokerr and I have been talking about "strength of schedule" being a factor in choosing our picks.
    Hurkacz has been having troubles with players ranked over 100 and even had troubles with players ranked over 200.
    Berrettini has been playing top-100 players and beating them on occasion.

    Big difference in playing levels here.

    Good thing I didn't make this a parlay. Hanfmann couldn't pull it off. Berrettini covers easily.

    4-3

    Piros +4 1/2 over Fratangelo

    Piros is ranaked #556 but has been either knocking off much higher ranked players or else doing well against them.
