The other brother faced far more motivated opponent and missed his chances.
Smitkova - Allertova 3.32 Matchbook
 
Smitkova is playing very strong and serving very well, which is very important in Luxembourg court. On the other hand Allertova made a lot of DF in her first match. Smitkova is typical indoor player and at least will be 50/50 against Allertova. The odds for Smitkova started from 2.6, but I expect to fall once again until tomorrow.
 
 
 
 
 

M. Ymer - Verdasco 4.7 Matchbook
Verdasco's indoor hard winning record is around 55%. He is strugling to find his best form except clay tournaments in 2016. Ymer is a future star. He showed earlier this season that he is capable to beat higher rated players on clay. Yesterday he played with his brother on doubles and scored a surprising win with 5.5 odds so seems both are liking the surface. It's the home tournament for Ymer and last year he was close to beat Alex Zverev here. The dude loves to play indoor so I think he will take at least one set, but the winning odds are sweet.

The new layout of the predictions is looking great.

Zampieri - Polanski 4.00 Bet365
 
Both are known each other since years. H2H is 2:1 for Zampieri, but their matches were long time ago. Zampieri showed very nice form in his two last tournaments. He is one of the guys who never respect the ranking of his opponent. Caio made a great tournament on hard earlier this year beating some favorites. Polanski is struggling to find his best form, not sure if he will do it now against very fast and coming to the net Zampieri.

Zhang - Wang 12.00 Betfair
A very interesting clash between two girls who know each other very well. The H2H is 4:3 for Wang it the last win took by Zhang came last year. Wang is a very strange player. She may beet the top girls, but at the same time to loss from outsiders Wongteanchai (number 300 with odds close to 7 just few weeks ago). Zhang had an awful season, She was injured in March and never was able to recover. Now she took 2 months rest and will play at her home tournament, which may add some inspiration for her. Wang is huge favorite on that, but not with such odds.

Grigor Dimitrov to beat  Richard Gasquet @ 1.79 with SBOBET
With his recent in form in China Open, I doubt Dimitrov will easily be toppled by Gasquet. The young Fed might have lost against Murray but that was Murray. This time I'm betting my money on his victory.

As you already mentioned, my recent form is not the best. I am playing mostly big odds, but I am not doing so well. Sorry for that...

Lipovsek Puches Tomas - Carlos Berlocq, win for Lipovsek at 7.02 Pinnacle
 
Lipovsek is showing very nice tennis. He is winning on singles and doubles. Berlocq is not at his best and is playing very safe. He had some personal problems and I am not sure if his concentration will be 100%. He is huge favorite here, but I don't think such odds are appropriate.
 

Krunic/Sinakova vs Mladenovic/Garcia 4.05 Pinnacle
Mladenovic/Garcia are on the top of the hill, but they are far better on clay. This year they struggled early on some hard court tournaments. Krunic and Sinakova are decent pair, that already scored a surprise win over Hingis/Coco last week. They are playing together in the last three weeks so they are well matched.
 
Wickmayer -Halep 6.00 Pinnacle
In the last three years Halep lost twice in the first round here. Now she starts directly from the second. Despite the good form she s 1:3 against Wickmayer, who gave just two games to Puig in the previous round. If Wickmayer's serve is working, she could stun Halep.

Back Lucas Pouille to beat Yen-hsun Lu at 1.53 with Skybet
Perhaps I'm missing something here and Lu obviously tends to be above his par in Asia, but let's treat Pouille with respect I would say. He had a massive US Open and he's already backed that up with a big tournament win, so I think that he should be ready to push on against a weaker opponent. Fatigue shouldn't be an issue either, as he didn't play last week.
Back Kyle Edmund to beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez at 1.62 with Skybet
GGL is one of my favourite players, but he's been in such a rot lately that I'm not sure that he will recover until the end of this season. He's playing without much confidence and that's what's pulling him down, while Edmund seems to be on the opposite trajectory really. He had some bad matches in the Davis Cup, but he's already put that behind himself by qualifying for the main draw here, so I very much fancy his chances against the out-of-form Spaniard.
 
 

Back Albert Ramos to beat Karen Khachanov at 2.10 with Bet365
Both have been mightily impressive so far in this tournament and I suppose that it's the surface that makes Khachanov the favourite, but I'd nonetheless have the odds the other way around due to the mental factor that always comes into play when the finals roll around. Ramos is by far the more experienced of the two, so I'm more than happy to take him at 2.10.

Here are today's pics. Few big odds, as always
 
Haylaz - Coppejans (Izmir Challenger) 8.05 Pinnacle
 
Haylaz beat last week Hemmery and took a set over Jaziri, who won the Istanbul Challenger. His rankings are not so nice, but he showed promissing tennis last week. Coppejans is totally out of form. He lost from an outsider with 6+ odds and I am not sure if he will be able to regroup himself. The match probably will be close.
 
Tarasova - Vyklyantseva 5.22 Pinnacle (ITF Saint Petersburg)
Tarasova is very strong on indoor hard. She beats the qualifications showin nice results. Vyklyantseva  is 200 places higher in the ranks, but she is coming from a clay tournament, where she lost from an outsider. Not sure if she is at her best.
Jimmy Wang - Millman (Kaohsiung Challenger) 7.22
Wang is experienced and knows how to stun favorites. Millman's level is above  this tournament, but after the long season not sure if his concentration will be on 100% for such event. At the end of last year he lost with stunning odds in three of the four challengers that he participated. 
 
Meltzer/Thiem - Fleming/Lipski 2.2
Thiem made some good matches earlier this season on doubles. Both Austrians are capable to make a good team. Meltzer was one of the best doubles players few years ago and probably he decided to switch only to play in doubles. Fleming and Lipski are strugling with their form recently.
 
Martinkova - Kozlova 4.85 Pinnacle
 
Martinkova made a good tournament last week in Quebek. She looked a little bit injured after her semifinal, but probably she recovered. Otherwise I can't see her playing here. Kozlova made big season, but she is just 2/8 on hard court. The difference between them is not so big compared to odds. I see some value here.

Klizan - Benneteau 2.16 Pinnacle
 
Klizan is real force this year on indoor hard. He is 8:1. Last year he reached semifinal in Metz. Klizan didn't show best form recently, but here he knows that he has great chances. Bennetau started to win some more single matches, but is still far away from his best years. Probably he will have more chances on doubles here with Roger-Vasslin..

Kalashnikova - Piter 3.47 Pinnacle
This one is from WTA Korean qualifier. Kalashnikova is typical doubles player. This is his first single tournament for the season. She already beat two game opponent in the previous rounds of qualifications. Piter prefers the clay court. H2H is 2:1 for Kalasnikova. The matches were years ago, but still they probably remember their meetings. Nice odds for Kalasnikova.
 

Sitak - Barrere 5.58 Pinnacle
 
Sitak is very good on doubles. Indoor hard is his preferable surface. He is capable of stunning some favorites in single matches. Barrere is in bad shape. He lost his last three matches, not sure if he will recover well here.

Back Marin Cilic to beat Richard Gasquet at 1.50 with Skybet
Not a massive price, but I don't see anything else for Sunday if I'm to be honest. In any case, Cilic has been the much better player of the two pretty much since the very start of the season and the home conditions will give him some sort of a bonus as well. And yeah - I'm also not sure if Gasquet has enough fitness to last five sets.

Murray - Pella over 30, 2.17 Pinnacle
 
Pella showed good tennis and nice serve vs Kyle Edmund. He loves to play tiebreaks. I think that there will be at least one in the match. This probably will be enough to cover the over. Murray will play third match in a row. He is physical animal, but I am not so sure if he will be able to regroup himself on 100% after 5 hours match on Friday.
 
Marozava - You 3.84 Pinnacle
This one is from Ghuanzou's qualification. Marozava is a doubles player. She beat Teichmann in the first round of qualifications, and now is against weaker opponent, who needed three sets in the opening match here. Cool odds.

Murray - Pella over 30, 2.17 Pinnacle
