26-35 -0.85
Montpellier: Clement over Montanes -140 - Montanes is playing his first indoor match of the season, a night session against crowd favorite Clement. Montanes is really bad on hardcourts, if you look at his results he constantly gets easy draws. US Open for instance he takes out Przysiezny 2 sets to love down, then he gets Carsten Ball, and then a very heat exhausted Nishikori before he loses routinely to Soderling. It's always the same thing, Semifinals at Auckland he plays Lemke, Statham and Lammer and he is in an atp 250 semifinal. Clement will take him out in 2 here.

[JNic]

Montpellier: Clement over Montanes -140 - 4-6 4-6

26-36 -2.25
St. Petersburg: Istomin over Marchenko -180 - Istomin took out Marchenko in 3 but he dominated the match after losing the first set tiebreak. Istomin was beyond frustrated losing to Baghdatis being 2 breaks up in the semifinals. Istomin is in form right now and I'm looking for another deep run here.
Montpellier: Schwank over Darcis +145 - This is Darcis' first atp tournament since French Open, he has been doing quite well on the challenger tour but should be in for a tight match with Schwank. Schwank needs a win bad and even though Darcis went through qualies here i'm looking at a tight match.
Vienna: Berrer over GGL +155 - Berrer played great against Nieminen but somehow lost that, Berrer should be able to really attack GGL's one hander here, Berrer needs a win bad and his power game will suit well for these courts. Vienna has quick courts and the Berrer serve should be hard to break.

[JNic]

Montpellier: Lacko over Mannarino +120 - Mannarino has been hot of late but on the challenger circuit, he never really has proven himself yet for me to understand these odds. He has a nice lefty serve and he's French but Lacko has more than enough experience and big serve of his own to be a very healthy play as an underdog. Bad year for Lacko but he can get it going anytime on hard courts.

[JNic]

St. Petersburg: Istomin over Marchenko -180 - Void
Montpellier: Schwank over Darcis +145 -2-6 5-7
Vienna: Berrer over GGL +155 - 6-3 4-6 7-5
Montpellier: Lacko over Mannarino +120 - 6-3 6-7 6-4 took him 8 matchpoints, boy did Mannarino try to give this away...

27-38 -2.70

[EaglesPhan36]

Nice hit on berrer.

Montpellier: Parlay Simon over Mahut -290/Isner over Mannarino -270 - 1.2u to win 1u

[beefcake]

Good luck!

[gators0708]

I like Fognini to win also!

[JNic]

Fognini over Dolgopolov +315
Serra over Nieminen +185
Parlay Simon over Mahut -290/Isner over Mannarino -270
28-39 -3.70
Berrer over Cuevas -115
Parlay: Almagro over Giraldo -200/Gasquet over Nieminen -150
Simon over Nalbandian +150
Taylor Dent over Ljubcic +220

[JNic]

Berrer over Cuevas -115 5-7 6-3 6-3
Parlay: Almagro over Giraldo -200/Gasquet over Nieminen -150 Risk 1 to win 1.5 Almagro 7-6 6-7 6-3, Gasquet 6-4 6-7 2-6 - HOW MANY ******* MATCHPOINTS CAN NIEMINEN SAVE??? ****** me TWICE, 1 matchpoint against Serra, 3 matchpoints today against Gasquet...
Simon over Nalbandian +150 3-6 7-6 7-5 lucky...
Taylor Dent over Ljubcic +220 5-7 4-6
30-41 -3.20
Simon over Tsonga +135
Kohlschreiber over Melzer +145
got a few more plays...

[JNic]

Berrer +170 over Baghdatis
Isner +130 over Monfils

[TomaCro]

what you guys think about tomorrows game?

[JNic]

Simon over Tsonga +135 3-6 7-6(0) 3-6 Didn't see the match but Tsonga held 15/16 times with 19 aces, great stats.
Kohlschreiber over Melzer +145 - Void
Berrer over Baghdatis +170 5-7 6-1 6-4 I've backed Berrer 3 times in a row and I'm not gonna stop anytime soon. My darkhorse to win the tourny, Baggy got hurt here, his shoulder or something and Berrer was able to return much better.
Isner over Monfils +130 6-3 4-6 4-6 Monfils came up with the goods for both breaks, Vintage Monfils at his finest in his country.

31-43 -3.50
Tursunov over Youzhny +225 - Tursunov's form warrants this price? No way.
Almagro over Melzer +170 - I know Melzer is inspired in Austria but Almagro is a seasoned veteran, his win over Soderling in Sweden was very strong for his mental toughness. Almagro has an equal if not better serve than Melzer, I agree Melzer should be favorite but more like -150 not -200
Parlay (Ljubicic over Montanes -200/Berrer over Haider-Maurer -185)= +130

[JNic]

Tursunov just lost after having 4 match points... and a 6-3 lead in the last set tiebreaker, such a tough loss to comeback from....

[EaglesPhan36]

This is why you should avoid betting sides when it's Russia vs. Russia. I didn't watch, but the way he blew the lead up 4-2 in the 3rd ... and then the tie break ... people who do live betting in situations like that probably can make a fortune. Not saying it was a fix for sure, but real questionable if you ask me.

[noober]

cannot be a fix!!! you don't let fixes go to 3 mps. Anything can happen in 1 point.

[JNic]

they probably played the tiebreak out but hes saying they can do whatever they want in the 3rd set live betting wise

[JNic]

[noober]

good luck with Bohli. tough to go againts Haase though.

[TT22]

With you on Bohli. Let's go.

[gators0708]

With you also.. Cant wait for the Aussie Open

[JNic]

Bohli over Haase +175 6-4 6-3 Bohli kept it close first set but then just fell apart in the 2nd. Serve was too big for Haase at times, Bohli was having such a good year you know this was a big chance for him.

Parlay Nalbandian over Cilic -245/Gasquet over Kamke -325/Djokovic over Nieminen -485 - Risk 1u to win 1.2u Nalby in 3, Gasquet in 2, Djokovic in 2

36-52 -4.25
Roddick over Nalbandian +100
Davydenko over Simon +170

[JNic]

roddick over nalbandian +100 6-4 6-4 domination on serve...
davydenko over simon +170 4-6 7-6(5) 3-6 davydenko is here but he just kept making error mixed with flashes of brilliance. Simon continues to play his style of tennis to a very nice degree, especially indoors with a big serve to add.

37-53 -4.25

[TennisBabe]

Nice call with Roddick. He's been playing excellent this week. Regret not playing him

[JNic]

yea i actually might play him against federer. I watched him closely before he went down with that groin injury and he's playing real good tennis, he's not just pushing on the baseline, he's giving zero pace with the slice backhand and then hes unloading time to time on the forehand plus he has to clinch a spot in the WTF i think. i hope roddick gets +175 or more against fed? definitely worth a play

[JNic]
