do yourself a favor and don't make that bet

Gulbis has the talent to Beat Del Po or the mind of a 4 year old to lose 6-0 6-0 to Malisse...

I've read that Gulbis admittedly doesn't care about taking the time to work on his game..

I know he has failed way too many times. Still I believe this serie will end at some point and here he has a huge chance against the veteran. I think Malisse will lose more rather than Gulbis will win if you know what I mean. So this is more a bet on Xavier's loss.

Not a good bet.

Well, you cannot be persuasive with a comment like good or no good bet...
Gulbis likes hard courts, has a new coach in G.Canjas. There must be some result to it all.
Let's just see how this goes through and then you can tell what's bad and what's not.

I'm not saying the pick is good or bad but either one you pick is going to be risky. Not a fan when a young guy plays an old guy because could go either way.

Sure Malisse is more solid player, but honestly, I doubt he in his 30+ years will keep his form in a that level he was showing at Wimbledon.
Gulbis has some issues, but last match against Blake showed that he finnaly might get over it. Well, you never know with him, but I like the odds here. Also Gulbis has to defend some points here.

You were right, Gulbis sucked all game, but somehow reached next round.
But you can't blame winners can you? Anyway his next opponent might have a real chance and odds for 4.500 (or +334) are looking good.
