From today games I think Delpo should win comfortably against Nisihikori. H2H is heavy on Delpo side and Nisihikori has just come back from the injury.

Yes, I bet on Delpo as well. But, he might be tired since he won both Acapulco and Indian Wells in a row. We will see...

Also, I added Krajinović and he is doing pretty well for now.

I am thinking Delpo still has some juice left but we will see. The match should start any minute now, players are warming up as I type this.

Good pick on Krajinovic, I skipped that one because of Paire. If Paire has his day he can beat anybody and if he has a bad day he can lose from juniors. No bet for me when such unstable players are playing.

Del Porto bet was an easy guess as he disposed of Ken Nisihikori quite easily. Must of been from him just coming off of injury because Juan Delpo has been working like a mad man winning at Indian Wells from what some are saying was the best match they have ever witnessed before.
Some good odds on him @1.40 before the match started.
I would suspect Nadal will be losing his matches when he gets back as Djokovic has been doing for the past matches he has had since his return back to the circuit.

Great start of the season for Del Potro!
 He is already in the semi-finals and if he wins the tournament he will do his best ranking by climbing on the podium for the first time in his career!
Moreover he can reach the first place too!

Delpo will have a tough match vs. Isner today but I think he will manage to win this one as well.

Has anybody seen Zverev match against Coric yesterday? If Zverev managed to get close to his best form I think he is a big favorite today and well worth putting some money on him.

Isner has just won 2-0 against Del Potro (who breaks a streak of 15 consecutive wins!) and is the first finalist in Miami.
Del Potro seemed tired, while Isner is at the height of his physical shape and has been devastating with his service!

His serve is the fastest I think this tournament.
One of them was clocked at 139mph.
I think I've only seen someone do 142mph last year so this is very close to that maximum speed for a serve.
Del porto did not have a chance to return those in the final set and that is what destroyed his chances in winning the match because he was still tired from all the matches he has played already. John Isner caught him on a day that he was utterly gassed and could not return those serves. I think he struggled on his serve too because he had only 4 aces against Isner's of over 12 by the end of the match.

A.Zverev has just won 2-0(7-6 6-2) against Carreno-Busta quite easily and will play in the final against Isner!
 if he wins the tournament he will return to third place in the atp ranking.
if he manages to get good results in slam tournaments this year, he can start thinking about the first place overall!

Isner is playing really well at the moment. He is almost untouchable at first serve and he is making over 70% first serves. On the other hand Zverev knows how to play against him, they played 3 times and Zverev won all 3. I am thinking this one goes to 3 sets and quite possible we will see at least 2 tie breaks.

Against Isner it is going to be hard. Although Zverev has higher ATP but dont forget that Isner has made all his way to the final and he is not just going to lose the game like that. It will be a complete turnover if Isner can win the game as every sportsbook now give Isner higher odds to encourage more people to wager for him

It's pretty hard to predict winner tonight. I would give the slight role of a favorite to Zverev since he has won all three previous matches between them.
Although, Isner has been playing this year's Miami in awesome shape so it should be pretty interesting match to watch. Let's see.

See my prediction at the top, I predicted that it is going to be hard win for Isner but atleast he has a very good chance to win. He wont let this chance slip away, in term of motivation I think that Isner is much better. The match is not really about the motivation but when you are more motivated then you are going to win the game most likely

Sure Isner's motivation is much better than the younger Zverev but Alexander can out maneuver the big man quite easily. Even John Isner admitted this after the Juan Del Porto match as he can not move from one far side of the court to the other if the shot is long.
I'd imagine he can not play the net like Zverev either. So he will have to rely on his bombs from the baseline just like he has always had.
It will make for an interesting match indeed but I think the German is due for a win since he hasn't won a finals in over a year now.

I am watching the match now and Isner is much better player at the moment. The only thing keeping Zverev in the match is the fact that Isner is playing really bad on break points. He has 1 converted from 11 chances. No breaks in final set for now so all is open.

Tournament in Monte Carlo is going on with Alexander Zverev trying to beat the veteran Gasquet.
But is having difficulties in the final set.

Rafael Nadal is looking for his first major ATP trophy of the year with dismissing Thiem in straight sets and one of those being 6-0.
If that doesn't tell you he is the king of clay then I do not know what would.

I was really impressed with the way Nadal started the clay part of the season. I know he is a king of clay but after all injury problems I thought he will have few shaky performances. I lost quite a good ticket when playing handicap on A. Zverev in Davis cup. Nadal made it look so easy in that match. After seeing that, I expected good performances in Monaco and managed to win few nice bets.

I expected Nadal to be in finals but Nishikori ? Its a big surprise because last week in an interview he mentioned that his wrist is not 100% okay . I am really happy for him and am a fan of him , he defeated inform Cilic and Zverev to reach the finals . I know he will give his best but I think the king of clay will win his 11th Monte Carlo title.

Ken Nishikori has been complaining of injury since earlier last year and suspect he has still not fully healed his back and now of how his wrist is not that well either.
Going against Rafael and not 100% going in is just asking for a beating.
I would say it will be in straight sets just so to have a better odds on Nadal to win this tournament yet again for this year.

Jup, Nadal is winning this one. Only problem is bookies now it as well. I just checked the odds it is 1.05 on Nadal win. Will probably play some kind of handicap.

I couldn't agree more. Rafa is in great shape and he will win the tournament. If this is a second round match for example maybe Kei would have some chance but he played some physically hard matches and is much tired than Rafa. That's why I don't give him not much chance for winning Monte Carlo Masters today. The odds are pretty miserable to bet on Rafa so I am going to watch this match and hope that Kei will make it as much interesting as he can.

What a pure dominance by Rafa in Monte Carlo. He won it without losing a single set. Not just he didn't lose any, he wasn't close losing it either.
If he continues to play in this amazing shape, I don't doubt he will win French Open easily either.

Not only in Monte Carlo , now he has won 35 sets continuously on clay ( Last year French open first round till now ) . I doubted initially before the start of the tournament whether he can maintain his number 1 till the start of grass season but now I am sure that he will.

Given the performance of Nadal in Monte Carlo, there is only 1 favorite to win another Roland Garros. I am curious to know what odds the bookies will give us

Yeah I'm pretty certain that Nadal will win the French Open once again this year. I'm expecting the odds to be low as he is in fine form on clay heading into the French Open. I'm just glad to see him fit for the Open as it looked like a couple of months ago that he might miss this years French Open.
