Tallon Griekspoor to beat Tristan Lamasine at 1.80 with bet365
I think Tallon deserves a bet here because he's doing great when it comes to holding serve. He took out Marco Trungelliti without any problems and Tristan only beat Thiemi de Bakker because he was likely fatigued after winning last week in Scheveningen. Tristan has fallen a lot in the rankings down to around 400 due to his lack of good gameplay and Tallon is still a player on the rise who is just waiting to get into top 200. Tallon is good enough to reach the final.
Leonardo Mayer (-1.5 sets) to beat Jozef Kovalik at 2.25 with bet365
I think Leonardo deserves a bet today on the set handicap. He's by far the better player in this matchup and Jozef should be happy with reaching the semi. Leo is playing so good in Hamburg and this week is a great chance for him to defend his title and he can surely win this in straight sets like he's done so many times before in Hamburg.

Nikoloz Basilashvili to beat Nicolas Jarry at 2.20 with Unibet
Looks like 50/50 to me. The previous picks on Basil obviously had more value, but I don't see how he's the underdog in this one.

Feliciano also looks pretty bad at the start of the match. Maybe best to leave him alone.

You talk about LGH like he has is a wealth of experience advantage over Ayeni. 1000 spots between them means absolutely nothing especially at this early stage of their careers where their individual talents is an unknown quantity. LGH has not been on any sort of dangerous form lately to even suggest that he could beat anyone under 19.5games. Ayeni looks to be the player on the rise and will only be too focused for this game after winning a set of sijsling. I strongly feel that Ayeni holds similar pedigree to Mmoh and should come out swinging in this match. Over 19.5 games with a strong possibility of Ayeni winning a set.

Ryan Harrison to beat Hyeon Chung at 2.75 with bet365
Good effort by Hyeon last match against Taylor Fritz but it's been a long time since he played before Atlanta so I think he will struggle here. They've met once before in 2015 on hardcourt and Ryan won 6-7 6-1 6-1. Ryan is also defending his Atlanta runner up so points so there's every chance that he wins this. Never wrong to trust an american in america since they're usually quite dangerous in the states.

Nikoloz Basilashvili to beat Pablo Carreno-Busta at 3.75 with Unibet
Leonardo Mayer to beat Diego Sebastian Schwartzman at 2.40 with Pinnacle
I like these two underdogs in Hamburg today, both should have a decent chance of winning given their forms and the conditions. I do like PCB and DSS as players, but they are grinders more than anything and the Hamburg conditions aren't exactly great for grinding, as evidenced by many of the recent results. On top of that, Schwartzman also looked injured in his previous match (which is why I'm taking Mayer with a one-set bookie).

@CzechPunter I think both your bets tomorrow looks worth taking and making a parlay of so...

Feliciano Lopez to beat Matteo Berrettini at 2.00 with bet365
@CzechPunter I think I can take some of your writing from GG-Lopez match here. Feli has won Gstaad before because he is not only a player who can hit big shots, but also the conditions suits him. Like you said the clay in Gstaad tends to be fine for bigger hitters and he's the bigger hitter in this match-up, with Matteo being more of a typical grinder that would enjoy something slower and muddier. Feli has the experience to still win matches where he can dictate the match with his serve and big shots and I think that could be exactly what we're going to see on Friday.

Hyeon Chung to beat Taylor Fritz at 1.95
I'm well aware that this is Chung's first match back from injury and thus there is a large degree of risk involved in this bet. However, besides going out to Haase in the first round of the Madrid Masters (when he was clearly injured), he has won a few matches in other tournaments he has played, making the quarter-finals of the Miami and Indian Wells Masters. Fritz has done well this year, but mainly on the Challenger circuit.
 

Nikoloz Basilashvili to beat Pablo Cuevas at 3.22 with Marathonbet
Pretty drastic odds given that Basilashvili has already won three matches against decent opposition in this tournament. Cuevas has always been the better clay court player of the two and everything, but his form has been VERY shaky in recent times and I just don't believe that he can be trusted as a big favorite against players that can actually play, which Basilashvili can. In terms of value, there's only one play to make here and I prefer the outright win over the handicap lines (if Basilashvili loses, chances are that it's going to be by a big margin, he's often that kind of a guy).
Vaclav Safranek to beat Rogerio Dutra Silva at 4.97 with Pinnacle
Odds odds odds. Dutra Silva has many of these odd losses against worse players and Safranek will have the home conditions on his side here, so 5.00?

Tallon Griekspoor to beat Martin Cuevas at 2.00 with bet365
Tallon looks like a player on the rise. Martin is not the most dangerous player to face and it never looks like he can win a match on the challenger tour until he beats some lower ranked player or like in the case of yesterday when he managed to beat Pedro Cachin who just recently won a futures tournament. I don't belive for a second Tallon will lose this match as I see him as a mutch better player.

Vera Zvonareva to beat Kaia Kanepi at 2.62 with bet365
Vera might have lost badly last week to Ons Jabeur but I belive she'll be good enough to keep this match tight and maybe even win it. The match is at home for Vera in Moscow but the surface clay might not be her best but it's also hard to say that it's Kaias best surface. They met 8 years ago in US open quarters and Vera won in 2 back then but both where better at that time, Vera was a top 10 player and Kaia almost top 30. I think Vera can fight her way back to top 100 at least and that's done by winning matches like this.

Ramkumar Ramanathan to beat Steve Johnson at 4.00 with bet365
Ramkumar currently has the level to win this or maybe we could say Steve doesn't have the level to win this. Anyway the odds are understandable but Ramkumar is underrated and will have a chance to win this match. He's played so well this tournament so I'd be surprised to see him lose this in 2. Ramkumar is worth a shot.

@CzechPunterTomas Berdych dropping 35 places to no.59 after SW19 and suddenly it's looking very good for Lucas Pouille to have the higher year end ranking so you were wrong about Tomas since he's going somewhere and it's down. Mikael Ymer will crack the top 300 soon if he keeps going the way he's been doing in july. He will soar at least 25 places after Swedish open. Corentin Moutet at no.117 way under 150 so far and it looks like he will keep it up. Dominic Thiem will be higher year end ranked than Stan who has dropped to no.199. Donna Vekic looking good, Belinda Bencic looks 50/50, who knows she might pull off a great US hard court swing. Forget about Yibing Wu. Caro Garcia still looks bad since it's only 1000 points separating her from Jelena Ostapenko. Sloane Stephens still looks 50/50. Naomi Osaka still looking good for both of us. I can forget about C-M Stebe. Nick Kyrgious girlfriend Ajla looks good at no.62.
That's about it. We'll see how it looks like in September.

Rajeev Ram is one exception since he is 100% american but with an indian name.

Ramkumar Ramanathan to beat Tim Smyczek at 2.00 with bet365
Once again Ramkumar is underrated and given even money even though he's played great tennis this week. Tim is ranked 123 and Ramkumar 161 and it's probably what makes Tim favored to win but I'll go for the indian again. I mean he's doing some good stuff so why not. Tim isn't anything special.

Andrey Rublev to beat Robin Haase at 1.72 with bet365
Andrey has already beaten Robin twice on clay and hardcourt, last time this season in Monte Carlo. Going against Robin looks worth it this time.
Evgeny Donskoy to beat Marco Trungelliti at 2.37 with bet365
Evgeny has a 2-0 record in this matchup and I think he has a good chance of extending his record. The price on Evgeny is a mystery. Marco has done nothing to deserve 1.57. I will defenitely be on Evgeny here.

Ramkumar Ramanathan to beat Vasek Pospisil at 3.00 with bet365
Ramkumar beat Denis Kudla and I see him as a better player than Vasek at the moment. If he could play so well yesterday I see no problems in repeating that.

And there we go, Ramkumar Ramanathan into semifinal 

Jason Kubler to beat Ernesto Escobedo at 1.57 with Paddy Power
Ernesto Escobedo is as one-dimensional as it gets and I was really shocked by some of his recent performances, the one against Joyce was exceedingly bad, for example. He might also be tempted to jump ship and hope to get into the Atlanta qualifiers, so, all in all, I fancy the much better player to prevail here.
 

He finally got his double espresso 

Ramkumar Ramanathan to beat Vasek Pospisil at 3.00 with bet365
Ramkumar beat Denis Kudla and I see him as a better player than Vasek at the moment. If he could play so well yesterday I see no problems in repeating that.
