Parlay: Matosevic + Mahut
Kamke was terrible in his opener, but James Blake was worse and couldn't finish him off multiple times. Aussie Matosevic is a handy little player who can be tough when he serves well. The surface suits him fairly well. If Mahut brings his A or even B+ serve, he should put a ton of pressure on Lorenzi whose own serve is poor. He didn't play a particularly flashy or great 1st rounder, but he beat a less experienced guy who played horribly.
Andreev +120
I keep waiting for my boy Berankis to get one of those breakthrough type tournaments where maybe he finally puts it all together. Maybe this is it. Maybe I'm trying a reverse jinx to help propel him, but he always seems to find a way to blow it when he starts playing experienced players. Andreev is nothing fancy on hard courts, but he has his moments when he maintains serve easily. He did that against Sela and with the slightly slower conditions in LA, that should play a little bit his way too. Dunno, just a gut check.
