Dominic Thiem vs Fernando Verdasco TIP: Verdasco to win set

Simply I don't know why Verdasco is set as underdog in this match. Ok both  men are suited to clay which is base of their game. But Spaniard claimed some strong wins against guys with big 1st serve and mighty fh. He is rich in experience, can be lethal for anyone when his game is on. Thiem didn't impress his last round and generally struggles in indoor conditions. Was pathetic to drop that 2nd set vs Gojowczjk. For me this is 50-50 affair and good possibility for Verdasco to win a set.

good luck for those who follow.

Yesterday was another good day for me 3/4 on tennis and 6/6 on Champions League(Tuesday & Wednesday ticket).

Today I like your tip and will play something similar for sure. My favorite tip on first looking is probably Pouille to win against Sock. Maybe even with handi or in straight sets. I will write exact tips I intend to play, later after playing them.

[Tavarez]

yes Sock was poor in match vs Kyle Edmund. Trailed 1-5 down in the final set (also had two physio visits for a back complaint)but managed to hang in there and was rather gifted the match in the end. Pouille did well recently (title in Vienna), but energy levels may be the only concern with him.

[Trofo]

I picked following for the day.
1. Poulie to win over Sock @1.4 on serious ticket and win in straight sets @2.1 on the low money ticket
2. Del Potro to Win with 3.5 handicap @1.75 on both tickets
3. Verdasco to not lose with more then 2 games (handicap 2.5) @1.75 on serious one and Verdasco to win in straight sets on the low money ticket at @3.5
4. Isner to not lose first set with more then 1 game difference (1.set handicep 1.5) @1.70 on low money ticket

Sorry have to work so no time for detailed explanations but it should be self explanatory to tennis lovers

what a match delpo vs haase, hour and a half of fine quality stuff. Haase did great especially in the opening set, was bit unlucky in the business end. hit more forehand winners than del potro, but backhand was loose (went up the line and missed lot). Del Potro was cool as cucumber when it mattered, head of champ to deliver his best (string two-three spectacular shots to turn the tidy in his favor). We have seen more topspin backhands from Delpo today, wasn't the case throughout the year. only 33% were bh slices. His physical state is questionable (lot matches last two weeks: title in Stockholm, Basel finals), his back stiffed (was seen stretching them but no official MTO).

I believe Delpo will play a lot of good tennis till the end of year. He had so many injuries in his career and now when he is fit he will play trough fatigue. It is all in the head and Delpo has one of the best on the tour. In my mind he is favorite to win Paris title and then do some serious damage at best 8 tournament.

would like to try with one "crazy" but still makeable bet today. It is challenger level, Eckental, Germany.

Alex De Minaur vs Matthias Bachinger   TIP: 1  (average odd 2.54)

I guess that youngster from Australia can win this match versus experienced Bachinger simply because he already defeated two players ranked higher than Bachinger. Aussie took two straight sets wins in r1 and r2 (Hanfmann ranked 114 and Robredo ranked 151), now he will face Bachinger who is 194. Aussie is still young but huge talent, Australians expect him to win GS in the future. Bachinger is veteran of the game who played  some of the best matches on this surface but he will have to dig deep to win this one.

[Tavarez]

found another one of similar type:    Roelofse Ruan vs Mmoh Michael   TIP 1 (odd 4.5 or you can bet on Ruan to win a set)

Roelofse is on five match winning streak including a huge upset against Norrie (ranked 113), born 1989 we can say he is not young player and probably has enough experience. Mmoh is more established player but played lot matches recently (could be feeling it), also had some weaker opponent in r1 and r2. opponent had more indoor matches this year (9-3win-loss, while Mmoh is 5-1). good luck

I am somewhat lazy this morning so not too inclined to go googling. Have you watched Alex play before. Is he a typical Australian new age player. Meaning strong serve & forehand and probably little crazy in the head? What is the surface in Eckental this year. If memory serves me right it is some kind of very fast carpet?

[Tavarez]

I have seen his match against Thiem (30.8.2017), he plays very aggressive (uses his shots to move closer to the net). backhand double hander is his favorite shot but can spray lot errors (bit hot and cold)......he is very fast around the court. Main problem in that match vs Thiem was his slight built (my conclusion was that he needs more muscles), was simply overpowered by Thiem. Don't know much about surface in Eckental, but must be super fast (guys who are participating are big servers). I chose those with higher odds but won't invest too much, suggest same thing for others.

[Trofo]

I will probably skip playing for serius money today. I'll just put few bucks to make it interesting to watch. I think Delpo wins today but first set will be tough so I'll take Isner +1.5handi 1.set @1.70. And first 2 matches from Eckental over 9.5 gems first set, both @1,6.

another interesting pair is Rafael Nadal against Filip Krajinovic TIP: AH 1 (G) -5,5

not much to say about Rafa, accomplished year for him, reached the first position, can get shaky on serve at times but it probably won't be the case in this one. watertight with other shots, fh trademark, bh rock solid this season (hitting deep and with purpose). playing the same tempo and intensity from the word go to the finish. Krajinovic nominated for the comeback player of the year (did great on challenger level), made his biggest push in Paris but will face now experience and craft. He is probably satisfied with accomplishments so far.

I played the same tip actually. The 3 tips I mentioned above were not enough for me. I am only a little afraid because Rafa took medical timeout for problems with his knee and ended with the bandage on it. Afterwards he moved ok, and said on press conference that everything is fine, but nevertheless we have to take the medical timeout in consideration. I am hoping he will forfeit if he ends having problems and nullify the bet. His opponent has already played 5 matches in the tournament so he could be a little tired. Especially since he is not used to progressing to later stages of the tournaments.

bad news hit us:Nadal has withdrawn from Paris. He had a medical timeout last match to have his right knee strapped up, and withdrew from Basel the week before. Krajinovic gets a walkover into the semi-final, and the hefty points boost that comes with it (he will move to at least #43 in the rankings).

Filip Krajinovic against John Isner   TIP: under 12,5 games (I set)    (odd 1.53)

Krajinovic was somehow lucky to reach Paris SF, some opponents were not fully fit against him, then Rafa gave him walkover. He did best on challenger level this year and this result is something he could only dream off. Isner also with knee problems but battled well to win over Del Potro. there won't be too many breaks in this SF match but somehow I feel that 1st set will not go to breaker. most people will go 12,5 over but I decide to bet opposite way. Good luck.

For me safer selection is Isner to win @1.4 or Isner to win in straight sets @ 1.8. I just don't see Krajinovic getting anything on Isner serve. Best of luck with your tip. The other match in Paris is difficult to predict but if I had to do it I would pick over games or sets. I see it as a 3 setter.

Filip Krajinovic vs Jack Sock   *Paris Finals*     TIP:  2 odd 1.44

Krajinovic made a magical run in Paris, but in spite of a good form I consider it a bit of fluke. He played already six matches in Paris (came through qualifications) and must be little fatigued. His opponent much fresher and with a huge chance to qualify for London (with win), players have met once during 2014 (clay surface - Sock Came on top). I expect Sock to dominate here (has more energy, bigger serve, more experience on this level).

 - I hope to win a new star Filip Krajinovic, yesterday also Isner had to win for London but he lost.

He may have lost today but he certainly will come back in future and win one of these . I certainly won't agree that its all fluke because you can clearly see that he has got talent . Congratulations though for predicting the right winner.

I am a little late today but here is my daily tip.

Berankis to win over Tomic @1.8. I believe that Tomic is currently totally uninterested in tennis and just waiting for the season to end. On the other hand Beraniks is coming back from hip surgery and has started the season late. Despite that they are on about same ranking and that is why coefficients are as they are. But Berankis is currently in great form and his ranking is going up while Tomic goes from bad match to worse match and falling trough the rankings.
