Danilovic, Tauson, Townsend, Rus, Yastremska, Zidansek who last year got to the 3R… some uneasy customers coming out from RG qualis, as well as Karatsev, Seyboth Wild and maybe Shang for the man imo

I would have bet on Svitolina if the odds were a little bit higher, as she shouldn’t be too tired and has a real shot at winning the tournament, which would bring her around the 180 position… anyway, these pre RG tournaments are quite tricky… retirements, walkovers, poor commitment by many players

Started to watch when it was too late too place a bet… Stephens was a walking bye today, part the fatigue after yesterday’s match, part tanking before RG, where she defends QF (but she might as well lose in straight sets to Pliskova in 1R, she looks so careless these days about tennis, you never know which version will show up on court… anyway, as far as I recall she managed till know to avoid fines for tanking, so good for her)

Friedsam vs. Blinkova @1.67 
Blinkova latest results on clay are not very good imo, she won a match in Rome vs. Sherif that was in complete control of the match and then choked, in the 1R here gave away a set to Hesse… ALF played a great match in Rome against Badosa, then lost badly to Yuan in Paris and yesterday gave a double bagel to Zhan (who is losing to anyone, so that doesn’t mean a lot). It’s a bet more against Blinkova, counting on ALF grit to stay focused on the important points of the match

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to start a match on wet clay when you have a knee injury, but Bouchard knows better for sure…😤

I’m curious to see how many people will be out there supporting Giorgi, considered that at the same time there will be the Champions semifinal Milan-Inter, a big event here in Italy

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is gonna rain for many hours in Rome and there will be rain also in the next days, the courts (when and if they will be able to play) will be slower than today.

Molcan + Hurkacz @1.94
Molcan has better results than Nishioka on clay, has allready beaten him recently 2-1 in Miami, and has won the 1R quite comfortably… Hurkacz defends the 2022 Qf in Madrid and should be able to overpower Gasquet easily imo

Lajovic @1.65 vs. Kubler looks good to me, I understand he just won Banka Luka but he had few days to rest and after defeating Djokovic, Kecmanovic and Rublev he might find Kubler an easier opponent to play with… also, next round the winner plays Auger-Aliassime, who hasn’t played a match in a month…
I like also Shevchenko over Wolf, the American plays his first European clay tournament in 3 years, and Shevchenko comes out of the qualis winning both matches 2-0 (3 tie-breaks won)… Americans in general don’t find themselves very much at home in these European tournaments… look at the bloodbath of American female players till now in Madrid. Odds around 1.65.

I’m also tempted by Sasnovich as underdog vs. Svitolina… not an easy first round for the Ukrainian, Sasnovich has the weapons to hurt her and is notoriously an underachiever that in a good day can make it difficult for any top player, let alone Svitolina who just got back after a quite long time

Tomova + Rakhimova + Struff @ 1.76
I don’t see any of them having problems passing the 1st round of qualis vs. far inferior players (if healthy of course)

Rune-O’Connell 2-0 @1.65 
Rune won the tournament last year without losing a set, the same this year till now. Hope he keeps on the same path vs. O’Connell, who struggled winning his last match against Cobolli in 3 sets.

I hope too Rublev can make it… don’t like Rune, especially his attitude on court, so annoying

Will Tiafoe be tanking vs. Johnson in Houston? He is expected to play 1st round in Montecarlo… Houston, even if they play 2 rounds every day, can’t be finished by tomorrow… on the other hand he made Qr last year, and also the final in Estoril… so he is losing some points this week. Anyway, I think I’ll go against him vs. Johnson, and if he beats Johnson I’ll bet again against him in the 2r
