    Bedene holds h2h record of 7-0. 6 of which is on clay.

    Match is being played in italian clay. Marco is italian.

    Most shops opened marco in the -130 to -140 range.

    Bedene opened in the +110 to +118 range with 2 shops opening him as a short fave -108.

    I don't follow tennis but would say Marco is going to win.

    Noticed that H2H yesterday afternoon as well but if you look deeper it's slightly deceptive. 5 of those wins were before 2018 when Cecc had his FO SF run & one in 2019 came 2 days after Cecc won Buenos Aires. I also lean Cecc but it could just be a matchup problem for him like Kevin Anderson (0-12) vs Berdych which made no sense on paper.

    Marco sucks donkey balls this year.

    There is no way you can play him against someone who always beats him.

    If you're looking for a solid dog today why not batshit Benoit? (+246). Besides the Bunde exho. he smoked Munar in the other 2 meetings. He really should've beat Koepfer last wk. where he actually seemed motivated to win.

    I doubt Benoit gives a shit about 250 in Parma.

    All players care about 250's for points, rankings which lead to seedings

    Winning and losing is contagious on any level

    Nadal numerous times last few years after loses say he doubts himself a lot

    Joker does not want to lose another 250 this week because 1000000000% will then lose in French

    A lot has to do with confidence and thinking you can win or might lose based off previous results

    That's not how tennis works jj. Alot of tennis players use 250's for warmup if a big tournament is coming up. Betting on 250 makes no sense unless you bet late rounds and see who is taking it seriously.

    Also, we're talking about psycho Paire who made it clear that quarantine had bad effects on him mentally and said he doesn't feel like playing. I'd skip this because you don't know which Paire shows up.

    Impossible to predict his motivation level but I actually disagree. Being the #2 seed he legit has a chance to do something this tourny & the 3 titles he won were all 250s. Line already dropped to +199 from +246 so that should tell you something.

    Yes but losing kills their confidence , winning non majors equates to doing well in majors 90% of the time

    SEEDINGS are very important in 1000's and Majors

    I thought the test would utilize this, and tell you that, if you can spot the tiny marble, you have well-above average vision:

    Gombos played almost 6h od tennis over 2 days, i'd say Cecchinator wins this easily.
